Currently, your brand is seen as a company that puts profit first, with a weak internal culture that is notorious for poor customer service. While customers continue to use your service, most of them are doing it begrudgingly because other options are limited. Consumer surveys and studies continue to rate your brand as one of the least trustworthy in the US. Imagine you have been given a healthy and reasonable budget to execute on realistic plans.

Is there an event, a milestone, or another publicity generator that you can use? Who will speak on behalf of your company and why? Remember to focus on communication strategies (not just ways to “fix” the problems). Conclude this section with any policy or corporate changes you may recommend.
