Narrative & Reputation Audit
The map you need before anyone moves.
Nothing should be changed before it is understood. Ashenden begins with a full reading of what already exists about you across search results, images, video and social, so every decision that follows rests on fact rather than assumption.
We trace each account to its source: who is saying it, when it first appeared, how far it has travelled, and which pieces carry weight. The result is an honest map that separates the loud from the material, and the fixable from the fixed.
You finish with a plain assessment: where your exposure lies, where your leverage sits, and what deserves attention first. It is the groundwork that makes suppression, takedowns, positive presence and legal action deliberate rather than reactive.
Held to one standard, end to end.

Baseline dossier
A single reference document your advisers and any later work can build from.
- Principals engaging us for the first time
- Advisers scoping a reputation programme
- Anyone facing a decision, deal or appointment
- Families wanting a clear starting position
- Why start with an audit rather than acting?
- Because acting blind wastes effort and can amplify the very thing you want quiet. A baseline tells us what is worth touching and what is best left alone.
- How far back and how wide do you look?
- As far as the record goes and as wide as your name travels: historic press, archived pages, images, video and the social accounts that reference you.
- What do I actually receive at the end?
- A single baseline dossier: what exists, who is behind it, where the exposure and leverage sit, and a prioritised view of what to address first.
