Crisis PR and Issues and Crisis Management
In a crisis, we're a safe pair of hands
Whether you are an airline or a high profile individual,
crisis PR and communication planning and issue
management communications is vital in helping you prepare for the
worst.
By getting crisis PR plans and protocols in place and practising
them, we make sure they are ready if things go wrong. Our team is
also available 24/7 to provide instant rebuttal and manage online
reputational issues.
The growth of 24 hour news and social media means that without
proper crisis management your reputation can be
damaged across the globe within hours of a crisis occurring.
There are many types of issues for which crisis management may
be required.
- Factory closure or redundancies
- Environmental issues
- Fraud
- Sexual harassment
- Product recall
- Malpractice
- Accident
- Acts of terrorism
- Health scares
- Financial scandal
- Theft
Research suggests that a frightening percentage of organisations
that do not have a properly thought through crisis communications
plan suffer real difficulties over the ensuing months.
We have crisis PR teams in Manchester, Liverpool and
Leeds and operate across the UK.
Our experienced crisis public relations team will work with you
to establish exactly how you need to respond in a crisis. They will
then be on hand if the unthinkable happens to work with you to
manage the media, customer and other stakeholder
communications.
We work with companies large and small from the airline industry
through NHS trusts to corporate organisations that recognise that
not having a crisis communications or crisis pr plan is ultimately
planning to fail.
Contact us in complete confidence to discuss how we could help
ensure that you keep your reputation should a crisis happen.
