Andrew Gilman Discussed Reputation Protection at ADT Third Annual Food Defense Strategy Exchange

WASHINGTON, DC, May 12, 2012 (Press-News.org) For the Food and Beverage industry, the "Pink Slime" case was a clear signal that protecting and maintaining a brand's reputation is more difficult than ever. In order to prevent the instant destruction of good will and company reputation, now more than ever, it is very important to have effective crisis and reputation management programs in place prior to a crisis ever occurring.

CommCore Consulting Group's CEO Andrew Gilman discussed these very important issues and more at ADT's Third Annual Food Defense Strategy Exchange in Washington, DC on April 11, 2012.
