    Workshop: Creating Your Crisis Response Plan and Team

    Do you have a crisis preparedness plan? If so, when was the last time you gave it a solid refresh? When it’s time to put your plan together, you’ve got to make sure it’s flexible for whatever new developments may come. But a crisis plan is only as solid as the team in place to carry it out. A serious crisis team encompasses marketing, HR, sales, legal, IT and the C-suite—along with brand partners and influencers who will have your back when it counts. Our trainers will provide guidelines for building a crisis plan, and team, that suits the needs of your organization. We’ll also work in groups to help you get started on building—or revising—a plan for your business.

    You’ll learn how to:

    • Get internal buy-in to devote resources to the development of a new crisis plan
    • Work internally across departments to identify potential risks to your organization, as a starting point for your crisis preparedness plan
    • Create a crisis communication process map—a physical document that can be shared internally
    • Analyze your plan to see if it is flexible enough to address challenges such as changes to crisis command locations and availability of personnel and technology
    • Establish written-out guidelines and responsibilities for social media messaging during a crisis
    • Decide what media monitoring and social listening tools you need before, during and after a crisis
    • Include content strategy guidelines in the plan, including what to include and when to deploy it
    • Build a crisis team with corporate communications leader at the top of the org chart, branching down to group leaders (HR, legal, IT, marketing, sales), the corporate executive team and the communications team
    • Treat external brand partners and influencers like members of your crisis team

    Luncheon and Keynote: A Contrary Look at Crisis Management With Jim Lindheim

    Jim Lindheim, former chair of BCW (Burson-Marsteller at the time), author and longtime crisis counselor, worked behind the scenes in many of the biggest brand crises of the latter half of the 20th century. From Coca-Cola’s disastrous introduction of New Coke to Perrier and Tylonol’s major recalls and working with Phillip Morris during the “tobacco wars,”  Lindheim’s seen it all and lived to write about it. 

    In his novel, Spin, he fictionalizes many of the personalities and corporate board rooms he frequented in his long career of pulling brands back from the brink. 

    In this keynote address and interview with Lindheim, we’ll take a look at how managing the cast of characters at an organization plays just as big a role in recovering from a crisis as the communications strategy itself.

    How to Avoid Foot-in-Mouth Syndrome: Media Training Must-Haves

    Media training was once only for executives and official spokespeople, but the prevalence of video means more members of the communications team are tapped to go in front of the camera during trying times. It’s important to learn how to be comfortable and at ease in the moment—and how to train others to do so—even when the moment is tense.

    We’ll also discuss how to:

    • Stay on message with a strong “why” behind your crisis response, and tie it back to the overall narrative of your brand
    • Steer clear of common gaffes and missteps on screen that can make a crisis worse
    • Prep executives for broadcast interviews
    • Ask producers the right questions so your spokesperson is armed with all of the info they need
    • Stay on message, even when you need to improvise
    • Ensure proper posture, diction and body language
    • Handle combative interviews with more than one guest
    • Stick the landing with a strong call-to-action by the end of a video appearance

    Shelter in a Social Storm: How to Create a Water-tight Social Media Crisis Plan

    Social media is a hurricane wherein reputations can weather the storm, or be washed away, in the blink of an eye. Is your brand prepared to react just as quickly? In this  session, our crisis experts will teach you how to build a social crisis plan that folds into your larger crisis plan, prepare digital assets ready to deploy at a moment’s notice and deftly tailor your response across all relevant platforms.

    You’ll learn how to:

    • Include a strong social strategy in your crisis plan that incorporates the strengths of all major platforms—from Facebook to Twitter, LinkedIn to Instagram, as needed
    • Create a reserve of digital assets to deploy during a crisis
    • Protect against unwanted abuse from social media accounts during a crisis
    • Activate the latest tools, apps and services that have become essential to managing a crisis

    Have you heard the one about the communicator who was on a company retreat when disaster struck? More brands than ever are training new crisis leaders with surprise simulations—but that’s just one way to get an unbiased read of what skills, and pain points, may surface during a crisis. In this interactive session, we’ll briefly discuss what goes into crisis simulations and tabletop trainings—then show you what it’s like to navigate one IRL.

    Back to the Drawing Board: Choosing the Metrics That Matter and the Ones That Don’t

    You wouldn’t waste time filling up on bread before indulging in a four-star meal, so why waste valuable time on metrics that do not show the worth of your PR efforts? Media relations now utilizes so many platforms beyond the traditional press release and printed page—including a digital mix of words and images and influencers. Savvy communicators know they must use a combination of tactics to compete for coverage. One thousand Facebook likes may not yield nearly as much value as one celebrity Instagram story mention. In this session, we'll discuss how to choose the right metrics you need to create your customized measurement story.

    The Art of the Apology: How to Say You’re Sorry So Stakeholders and Audiences Believe It

    In both personal and professional crises, the hardest part is learning to say you’re sorry. This is especially true for brands, as many communicators will dance around an issue to avoid responsibility rather than express remorse. In this breakout discussion, we’ll explore why a well-timed, well-delivered apology can go a long way toward mitigating blowback—and how an apology doesn’t necessarily need to be positioned as an admission of guilt or wrongdoing.

    How to Work Effectively With Legal During a Crisis

    Lawyers and communications pros often seem to have opposite goals in times of crisis. Both waste precious time and energy pushing back against each other’s strategies for managing the situation and protecting their client from legal and reputational harm. In this frank discussion, our PR pros and legal experts will discuss:

    • The typical tensions between lawyers and communicators, where they come from and how to overcome them
    • How to win the trust of in-house and outside counsel and establish a more collaborative and mutually supportive working relationship
    • The critical relationship between an organization’s legal and reputational risks, and how to keep them in proper balance

    Using Measurement to Customize Your Media Strategy

    The media landscape is a fragmented pastiche. Similar to the increasing power of micro influencers, small, niche media outlets outpace the growth of traditional press. Elsewhere, traditional media outlets both vie and align with popular social media platforms. An influencer’s tweet can raise brand awareness, but an in-depth article can be the bottom-of-the-funnel push sales needs. Communicators understand that a mix of media is critical to success and that PR is part of a larger effort. As such, it is critical that you have an effective media strategy that aligns with the needs of your audience and markets.  To begin the day, the speakers will discuss measurement tools and tactics to help you align communications goals with business objectives. They'll also cover how to measure individual communicators as well as larger, team efforts. We'll also discuss how to quantify and measure when your organizations sell ideas instead of tangible products. The issue of measuring trust and how to apply attribution also will be covered. 

    You’ll learn to:

    • Align measurement KPIs with business goals
    • Measure integrated communications strategies
    • Define and measure invisible values (ie, how to measure when your organization sells ideas instead of products)
    • Define and apply attribution analysis
    • Introduce the concept of measuring trust
    • Measure individual contributions as well as team efforts

We’ll also include a case study about creating a framework in the cross-PESO environment.

    You will learn:

    • Guidelines and concepts that will help you choose effective measurement tools for your organization
    • Dashboards and other effective strategies for reporting measurement results to employees and the C-suite
    • How measurement can help you monitor, manage and potentially prevent crises
    • What metrics the C-suite is demanding from senior communications officers in a cross-PESO environment

    How to Quantify Influencer Impact and ROI

    The definition of influencer has evolved beyond celebrities with huge social followings. For example, micro-influencers with modest yet loyal followers often dwarf celebrity influencers in terms of consumer engagement. Identifying influencers and measuring their effectiveness require an understanding of the interplay between your brand’s message and evolving media consumption habits. In this panel we’ll look at using data to locate and manage influencers who will be most effective for your organization. 

    You’ll learn to:

    • Measure influencer reach and determine how effective and relevant influencers are in delivering messages to your target audience
    • Identify and activate the most influential voices within niche settings and larger demographics
    • Determine the most effective influencers for your brand (Do you urge an expert to become an influencer and/or an influencer to become an expert?)
    • Use measurement to manage and build an effective influencer marketing program
    • Determine the ROI of your influencer marketing effort

    Making the choice to measure and establish measurable goals at the outset of an effort is merely the first step in the data and analytics journey. Beyond aligning measurement efforts with business objectives your next hurdle is deriving insights from your measurement work. We’ll offer case studies that will help you understand how organizations are communicating better and smarter as a result of insights they’ve derived from measurement.

    Going Native: Social Media KPIs That Spell Success

    As the day draws to a close, we’ll examine how to measure your social media efforts. To do so, you need to understand the similarities and differences in how platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat and LinkedIn tally reach and engagement. Social media pros and measurement mavens will show you how they approach quantifying and qualifying cross-platform measures of engagement, sentiment and share of voice.

    You’ll learn how to:

    • Measure the cross-platform success of your social efforts and the types of messaging that work best for each platform
    • Move beyond vanity metrics when measuring social media
    • Employ each platform’s unique measurement strengths to boost reach and engagement
    • Test social media posts before boosting them
    • Use native tools on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to reach key demographics
    • Discuss the most useful pay tools for each platform
