- Anticipate the types of crises that can befall your brand and create a framework for response
- Coach spokespeople and company executives to handle difficult media questions
- Monitor social media channels for potentially damaging news and commentary
- Craft a core message that is communicated to all social media channels
- Ensure that internal and external communications are consistent
- Create a response team that can implement your plan at the necessary time
- Choose an effective spokesperson to be the public face of your crisis management efforts
- Assess the situation to determine the threat level to your brand's reputation
- Engage negative commenters on social media
- Employ measurement tactics to assess the impact of your crisis management efforts
- Develop a post-crisis communications strategy to repair the damage
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.
