In 2025, RepTrak redefined how reputation intelligence is accessed, understood, and acted on with the official launch of Compass™.

If you haven’t heard, Compass is the ultimate reputation monitoring platform, built to help leaders move faster, see clearer, and connect reputation insight directly to business decisions.

Not to brag, but we released a lot of exciting stuff in 2025: new dashboards, new AI-powered tools, and new ways to understand stakeholders. So, here’s a comprehensive list of all things Compass and how it’s helping organizations like yours lead with confidence.

A Reimagined Platform Experience

Including:

  • Streamlined navigation built for clarity and speed

  • Multi-country, benchmark, and stakeholder views all in one connected experience

Compass introduced several AI-powered capabilities to support how teams explore data, build dashboards, and understand emerging stakeholder behaviors.

This dashboard makes it easier than ever to connect reputation performance to real-world stakeholder behaviors, including outcomes like:

Users can start with a high-level view of stakeholder actions, then dive deeper into trends, benchmarks, and shifts in behavior — making reputation impact visible, measurable, and actionable.

Brand & ESG Perception — In One View

These two dashboards deepen organizations’ understanding of perception beyond overall Reputation.

Users can:

  • Explore time-relevant Advisory guidance by adjusting date ranges

  • Access insights directly within Reputation Score dashboards

  • Shift quickly from “what’s happening” to “what to do next”
