Crisis Management

Public Relations and Crisis Management

In a PR crisis, how can a public relations agency use communication management strategies to assist a brand in controlling the situation? 

No one wants to suffer a PR crisis – these are events that pose substantial reputation damage and other risks to brands operating in every sector, as well as individuals living and working in the public eye.

A PR crisis can strike instantly and if left unattended, can inflict lasting damage or continue to spread unless it is swiftly and carefully extinguished. In the wake of crises, maintaining authentic communications that align with your company values, vision, mission, and social mandate is crucial.

During the current COVID-19 pandemic, it’s more important than ever for companies to communicate with their stakeholders regularly and transparently. As well as dealing with the situation from an operational standpoint, it’s important that communications around delicate and potentially damaging situations are handled correctly.
