The digital landscape that has standardized everything has imposed several significant changes throughout the world and all fields. Thinking out loud has become a common practice in the field of development to keep pace with the movement on the high-speed road of modern technologies in all its forms, particularly concerning communication in all its traditional and contemporary forms, whether human or institutional, and the continuous calls to upholding the importance of effective institutional communication and building an institutional reputation through several strategies supporting this trend.

Therefore, new areas have emerged with various mechanisms that can contribute to communication governance and make the most of e-marketing, institutional digital content, and electronic management to build a positive mental image of the institution.
