Trusted by entrepreneurs, executives, and high-profile individuals worldwide for delivering strategic reputation protection with measurable impact.
NEW YORK — The internet has become the front door to nearly every person and brand. It is where decisions are made before conversations even begin. In this modern digital age, reputation is not something you earn once and forget. It is something you manage, shape, and protect every single day.
Reputation Rhino, an award-winning online reputation management firm, understands this better than most. The company is recognized by some of the largest and most respected news media outlets in the world.
"We are helping clients reclaim control over their narrative," said CEO Dave Fulk. "The stakes have never been higher, and we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to be accurately represented online. That starts with strategy, not reaction."
Named to the 2025 Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies, Reputation Rhino has emerged as one of the premier forces in digital reputation. Their mission is clear: help clients take control of how they are seen online, before someone else does it for them.
Reputation Rhino Is The Leader In Online Reputation Management
Founded nearly 15 years ago by former attorney Todd William, Reputation Rhino was built to serve high-profile clients with precision and discretion. William’s legal background gave the company a solid foundation in risk mitigation, strategic communications, and digital law.
Over the years, his work has been recognized by Bloomberg, Forbes, Time, U.S. News, and HuffPost. Williams continues to serve as a trusted advisor for celebrities, CEOs, politicians, and Fortune 500 companies who want to not only remove damaging content but also shape a long-term digital legacy.
Today, that legacy is being further elevated under the leadership of Fulk, a global entrepreneur and Forbes Council writer with a passion for empowering clients and building elite teams. Fulk has helped scale the company by investing in high-level talent and cutting-edge technology while ensuring the firm remains grounded in trust, ethics, and client results.
Reputation Rhino is also backed by renowned entrepreneur Kevin Harrington, who serves as a strategic partner. Known as an original “shark” on Shark Tank and the creator of the infomercial, Harrington brings decades of business-building expertise, having generated over $5 billion in global sales and launched more than 500 products throughout his career. His involvement signals the firm’s commitment to bold growth and market leadership.
The Stakes Are Higher Than Ever For Brands and Global Leaders
The internet has democratized information, but it has also made personal and corporate reputations more vulnerable than ever. With the rise of AI-generated misinformation, deepfakes, and viral narratives, the line between truth and perception has never been thinner.
"We are seeing more reputational risk in real time than ever before," said Fulk. "A client can go from unknown to infamous in a matter of hours. That is the reality. What they need is not a quick fix but a complete plan."
Executives, public figures, and business leaders are facing this new era of online exposure head-on. And the response cannot be reactionary. It requires a deep understanding of digital platforms, legal nuance, and the psychology of public perception.
One recent client, a fintech founder preparing to go public, discovered that a dormant forum thread could resurface during the quiet period. Reputation Rhino’s data scientists forecast the likely timing, seeded verified content that clarified the record, and reached out to high-authority journalists for context pieces. When short-sellers tried reviving the rumor six months later, credible articles and expert interviews outranked the falsehood within hours, neutralizing the threat before it gained traction.
These types of success stories happen all the time.
Reputation Rhino’s clients range from elite professionals and healthcare leaders to global brands, legal experts, political figures, and venture-backed founders. Each comes with its own challenges. Each walks away with a clear plan for online restoration and resilience.
A Framework Built For Resilience
At the heart of Reputation Rhino’s success is its unique Visibility, Authority, and Influence framework. This strategic model addresses the full lifecycle of a reputation, from audit and diagnosis to proactive brand positioning and digital defense.
It combines search engine optimization, targeted content development, media outreach, review management, and legal insight into a single, adaptable solution.
One example involved a renowned medical professional whose online reputation had been impacted by years-old legal allegations that no longer reflected the facts. Within 90 days, Reputation Rhino helped transform the client’s search presence, pushing accurate and verified information into top search rankings while building a stronger personal brand across industry-specific publications.
“This is not about erasing the past,” said Fulk. “It is about giving people and businesses a path forward. Reputation is a living thing, and it should reflect who you are today, not who someone said you were five years ago.”
He says the company’s growth comes from treating reputation like cybersecurity.
“You patch servers before hackers strike,” he said. “Why wait for trolls to torch your credibility?”
Looking ahead, Fulk predicts that within three to five years, reputation management will merge with corporate risk functions, and quarterly board packets will include “algorithmic trust scores” alongside cash flow forecasts.
“Brand equity used to be storytelling,” he said. “Tomorrow it is structured data that AI agents trust enough to repeat.”
The Power Of People And Culture
Beyond its systems and strategies, Reputation Rhino’s greatest strength is its people.
The company is staffed by digital strategists, legal professionals, operational executives, veteran writers, and analysts who understand the intricacies of online behavior. The culture encourages transparency, collaboration, and initiative.
"We do not operate like a typical agency," Fulk said. "Every team member has a voice. We push boundaries, and we support each other while doing it. That is how you build a team that solves hard problems."
Fulk’s leadership is rooted in empowerment. He removes roadblocks for his team and helps them focus on high-impact work.
Looking forward, he says, Reputation Rhino is not just reacting to industry trends. It is helping to shape them. Fulk believes reputation strategy will soon be as essential as legal or financial counsel for leaders across every industry.
"Reputation used to be what others said about you behind your back. Today, it is what Google says about you to your face," Fulk said. "And if you are not actively managing it, you are leaving your legacy up to chance."
The agency is investing in predictive analytics, custom dashboards, and machine learning tools that will give clients deeper insights and faster responses. Its roadmap includes deeper integrations with emerging platforms, real-time alerts for reputational risk, and continued partnerships with media and legal networks.
Reputation Rhino is not just in the business of reputation repair. It is in the business of transformation. From the inside out, the agency helps clients rebuild trust, refocus their digital presence, and lead with authority in the spaces that matter.
For individuals and businesses ready to take the reins of their reputation, the message is simple.
"Clients deserve to be seen for who they really are," Fulk said. "We help them tell their story.”
