Am I the only one who doesn’t quite understand this? It seems uncontested that the spill was caused by a commercial entity that everyone agrees is responsible; that the U.S. government has vowed to hold said entity to its promise of paying for the clean-up and for losses incurred by all affected parties; and BP itself has agreed to do same. Now I’m not making any claims as to whether BP will or won’t actually do this (or that its version of reimbursement would be agreeable), but this telethon wasn’t saying “We know BP’s 100% responsible, but we don’t believe it’ll come through so we’re doing this just in case.” It was just your regular old telethon to raise money. So why? Why are we raising money? Why are television watchers being prodded by their favorite celebrities to donate? ]]> http://www.reputationgarage.com/posts-by-author/stephanie-fierman/like-your-mother-always-said-you-teach-people-how-they-can-treat-you/feed/ 0 http://www.reputationgarage.com/other-posts/the-awesome-power-of-true-intentions/ http://www.reputationgarage.com/other-posts/the-awesome-power-of-true-intentions/#comments Mon, 10 May 2010 17:50:01 +0000 jarviscromwell http://www.reputationgarage.com/?p=1159 http://www.reputationgarage.com/other-posts/the-awesome-power-of-true-intentions/feed/ 1 http://www.reputationgarage.com/posts-by-author/jarvis-cromwell/the-ski-industry%e2%80%99s-little-white-lie/ http://www.reputationgarage.com/posts-by-author/jarvis-cromwell/the-ski-industry%e2%80%99s-little-white-lie/#comments Fri, 08 Jan 2010 00:07:55 +0000 jarviscromwell http://www.reputationgarage.com/?p=997 http://www.reputationgarage.com/posts-by-author/jarvis-cromwell/the-ski-industry%e2%80%99s-little-white-lie/feed/ 6 http://www.reputationgarage.com/posts-by-author/jarvis-cromwell/inspiration-is-all-around-just-look/ http://www.reputationgarage.com/posts-by-author/jarvis-cromwell/inspiration-is-all-around-just-look/#comments Sun, 03 Jan 2010 14:30:48 +0000 jarviscromwell http://www.reputationgarage.com/?p=952 http://www.reputationgarage.com/posts-by-author/jarvis-cromwell/inspiration-is-all-around-just-look/feed/ 0 http://www.reputationgarage.com/posts-by-author/stephanie-fierman/is-santa-the-best-most-trusted-marketer-ever/ http://www.reputationgarage.com/posts-by-author/stephanie-fierman/is-santa-the-best-most-trusted-marketer-ever/#comments Wed, 30 Dec 2009 15:15:41 +0000 jarviscromwell http://www.reputationgarage.com/?p=935 http://www.reputationgarage.com/posts-by-author/stephanie-fierman/is-santa-the-best-most-trusted-marketer-ever/feed/ 0 http://www.reputationgarage.com/other-posts/please-let-billy-mays-r-i-p/ http://www.reputationgarage.com/other-posts/please-let-billy-mays-r-i-p/#comments Thu, 03 Dec 2009 14:23:26 +0000 jarviscromwell http://www.reputationgarage.com/?p=665 http://www.reputationgarage.com/other-posts/please-let-billy-mays-r-i-p/feed/ 0 http://www.reputationgarage.com/posts-by-author/andrew-jaffe/squeezing-value-out-of-a-brand-without-killing-it/ http://www.reputationgarage.com/posts-by-author/andrew-jaffe/squeezing-value-out-of-a-brand-without-killing-it/#comments Tue, 17 Nov 2009 16:58:14 +0000 jarviscromwell http://www.reputationgarage.com/?p=624 by ANDREW JAFFE Starbucks has had its ups and downs over the last couple of years. And now the market seems to be making a rough judgment on the company every day. That's the problem with taking a wonderful idea and building it to the point that you can launch an IPO and cash in on the goodwill you created. But once you bite that IPO apple and allow your company to be publicly traded there are few secrets to be kept as you try to manage the brand over the shoals and storms of the world's economies.]]> http://www.reputationgarage.com/posts-by-author/andrew-jaffe/squeezing-value-out-of-a-brand-without-killing-it/feed/ 1 http://www.reputationgarage.com/posts-by-author/andrew-jaffe/the-all-digital-agency-all-the-time/ http://www.reputationgarage.com/posts-by-author/andrew-jaffe/the-all-digital-agency-all-the-time/#comments Tue, 10 Nov 2009 16:27:37 +0000 jarviscromwell http://www.testingdomain.co.uk/reputationgarage/?p=349 http://www.reputationgarage.com/posts-by-author/andrew-jaffe/the-all-digital-agency-all-the-time/feed/ 0 http://www.reputationgarage.com/other-posts/why-you-must-offer-customers-a-guiding-oar-in-todays-environment/ http://www.reputationgarage.com/other-posts/why-you-must-offer-customers-a-guiding-oar-in-todays-environment/#comments Thu, 14 May 2009 18:39:00 +0000 jarviscromwell http://www.testingdomain.co.uk/reputationgarage/uncategorized/why-you-must-offer-customers-a-guiding-oar-in-todays-environment/ http://www.reputationgarage.com/other-posts/why-you-must-offer-customers-a-guiding-oar-in-todays-environment/feed/ 1 http://www.reputationgarage.com/posts-by-author/stephanie-fierman/recession-landmines-do-not-discriminate-proceed-with-extreme-caution/ http://www.reputationgarage.com/posts-by-author/stephanie-fierman/recession-landmines-do-not-discriminate-proceed-with-extreme-caution/#comments Sat, 28 Mar 2009 03:33:00 +0000 stephaniefierman http://www.testingdomain.co.uk/reputationgarage/uncategorized/recession-landmines-do-not-discriminate-proceed-with-extreme-caution/ http://www.reputationgarage.com/posts-by-author/stephanie-fierman/recession-landmines-do-not-discriminate-proceed-with-extreme-caution/feed/ 3
