Crisis Communications

Fail to plan, and plan to fail

If your brand is mired in a crisis, the worst thing to happen is to mismanage the response – to your customers, your employees, and the media.

Crisis comms planning is tedious (yes it is), but essential if you care about coming out of it in good shape with minimal brand impact.

Why is it important?

Once you mess up your response to a crisis, your customers may never return

Your competitors will embarrass your brand as a black sheep in the industry.

Regulators and government agencies may penalise you for a botched crisis response
