Years of work in building brand reputation can be undone in a matter of moments on social media. The damage that can be inflicted by a crisis can bring down an executive or an entire company. The key to mitigating that damage is to have a plan in place before the crisis even happens. Join PR News for a webinar that will emphasize the value of having a crisis management plan in place, how to create one and how to use it when the unthinkable happens.
