Winging it without a crisis communications plan is risky but a lot of organizations do it anyway.
We're all consumers of media.
Have you seen the difference between an organization that's ready for a crisis and one that clearly isn't?
It's not an accident.
A lot of the times, we get called in after a crisis breaks.
Something bad happens, someone Googles or ChatGPTs "crisis communications firm" and we pop up.
We have experience with all sorts of situations, templates and best practices, but when we get that call or email, we're still building the plan as we're flying it.
There's a better approach that many organizations often don't take.
Crisis Communications is Easier With a Plan
We can work with your senior leaders to put together a crisis communications plan, anticipate potential crises, and help your leadership train against them.
Not only does this give you some experience and a solid playbook, it helps you surface risks and solve them before they become a crippling crisis.
We're happy to help if we get a call from someone in the middle of a real problem, but we're a lot happier to work with organizations to plan, train, and maybe even solve some problems before they become crises.
