This week we speak with Mike Sharman, the owner and co-founder of Retroviral Digital Communications and RetroActive Digital, and the author of the best-selling book, The Best Dick: A Candid Account of Building a $1m Business. We discuss the importance of brand reputation, what goes into building a strong brand and how organisations can maintain the trust of their customers. In this podcast we discuss: What it is about strong branding that makes people trust companies How emotional content gets people to click and share and how criminals can use this to their advantage Why security and marketing departments need to work closely together The current state of social media including fake news and how criminals leverage it About Phishy Business Fed up with the same old cybersecurity stories? Come with us on a journey that explores the lesser-known side. Whether it’s social engineering, taking criminals to court or the journalists hunting down hackers — our new podcast series, Phishy Business, looks for new ways to think about cybersecurity. Mimecast’s very own Brian Pinnock and Alice Jeffery are joined by guests from a range of unique security specialisms.
