Disinformation campaigns have targeted political and social movements around the world. The crosshairs of influence operations have expanded to include high-visibility brands and large enterprises. Responsible corporate leaders must be prepared to defend hard-won brand reputation and equity. In this edition of Spotlight on Learning from Failure, learn how influence operations are manifesting in 2019 as they've moved beyond politics. Renee DiResta and Robert Matney, coauthors of the US Senate report about Russian disinformation operations, will take you through specific examples of disinformation campaigns affecting brands and discuss the high-level social and corporate implications of the erosion of public trust and public discourse in our information ecosystem.
