Bastion Reputation Management hires Scott Thompson as principal
Bastion Collective’s issues management and communications agency Bastion Reputation Management has appointed Scott Thompson to the newly created role of principal.
Thompson joins the agency from his previous role as the director of member engagement and strategy at the Business Council of Australia.
Thompson had been with the Business Council of Australia since 2006 in various roles including director of media and public affairs and director of advocacy and public affairs.
Brian Walsh, managing director at Bastion Reputation Management, said Thompson would help grow the company’s practice and assist in building long-term reputation for its clients.
“We are seeing more and more companies that are realising that they can’t take their reputation and public trust for granted.
“They want to invest more time and effort in explaining to customers, governments, regulators and the wider public why they deserve to be trusted.
“Scott has the knowledge and expertise to help companies build campaigns to regain and maintain public trust.”
