This was an interesting thought about all that potential scandal with a large YouTube creator called Mr. Beast and how its former employees allegedly made inappropriate remarks about children. As you would expect, most large companies would go into damage control mode and some even hire companies to do this. Apparently, that was the case with the Mr. Beast person. But with that were all these stories on how the firms that he hired allegedly has ties to people such as Jeffery Epstein who became well known as a child trafficker per se.
So with that it’s natural for people to get even more suspicious just based on that alone. It’s an interesting thought whenever you decide to hire another company for assistance because you will essentially inherit their reputation on the type of people they have worked with as well. A lot of times people would just focus on the company’s capabilities and cost for service. But who they serve as well can be a factor on how it will affect your business. Guilt by association I suppose is a way many people would view it.
It works the other way around too such as if the company worked with someone who is generally perceived as positive then you would in-turn also benefit from that.
