Brent Brown Toyota hired PilmerPR to help improve its reputation management PR online and in the community. Though they enjoyed high customer satisfaction ratings, it was virtually impossible for them as a car dealership to monitor and respond quickly to social media discussions involving their company. As is often the case online, a few disgruntled customers produced a disproportionate amount of negative comments and dealership reviews. In its continuing commitment to improve customer service, Brent Brown Toyota engaged PilmerPR to quicken rapid response to customers on the Internet.
