It’s a very quirky name. Tell me, in a nutshell, what is Qnary?
Qnary is an executive online reputation growth solution and strategic service that helps make it easy for executives and brands to not only take control of their online presence but to build thought leadership and influence around key topics and initiatives they want to be known for.
Why is it so relevant for businesses?
In today’s modern digital world, people want to connect with other people in an authentic manner and brand reputation is intrinsically linked to the key stakeholders, leaders and employees who represent it.
Qnary champions the idea that every person has a digital media footprint and that digital footprint can greatly impact the overall success of a business. This has been proven true by organisations time and time again and supported by research studies.
When a company galvanises their executives in this way, to drive thought leadership and expertise through their executives, that company experiences greater success in terms of greater interest in the business, sales, brand engagement and talent retention and recruitment.
What are the main issues facing companies?
The biggest issue facing CEO’s today is building better trust in their business, improving culture, employee advocacy, retaining and acquiring industry best talent.
When companies drive thought leadership and expertise through their executives and employees, there is a halo effect to the overall business in terms of, brand engagement, employee advocacy and talent retention and recruitment…and ultimately reputation and trust.
What are the key benefits?
Shifting brand and company perception by showcasing the company as an innovative solution or product through the key leaders.
Influencing talent recruitment and retention – attracting the best talent by showcasing the top executives as industry thought leaders and influencers
Driving business development – people want to follow other people and the trend towards people following the key stakeholders and executives of a company rather than the company’s social profile helps with business development.
Empowering employee advocacy across businesses.
Building better trust across organisations through thought leadership
