Crisis & Reputational Management FAQS

  • Crisis management PR is the process of business continuity planning to prepare for or navigate a major event which may threaten the organisation’s reputation. Crisis management planning usually falls under the remit of PR and communications practitioners.

  • The key to successfully navigating a crisis is being prepared. This involves having the right people, with the right skills, in place to handle a crisis.

    Any business can be affected by a crisis but the best way to survive is to have an expertly crafted crisis management strategy in place and to have B2B PR professionals trained to react to crises, on hand to call when something happens. Key employees should be media-trained and each department should feed into a crisis plan.

  • A specialist B2B PR agency can help you plan effectively and anticipate the steps you may need to take well ahead of any crisis. PR professionals can advise on appropriate messaging and help you ensure that your response doesn’t make any situation worse.

    Working with an agency will highlight any skills gaps you might have and enable you to put a comprehensive PR crisis plan in place. This plan should give you peace of mind.

    An agency can provide vital specialist help during a media crisis.

  • No one likes to think that things will go wrong. But occasionally they do, and that’s when you want Altitude in your corner.
