Attend the PR News Webinar “Communications Essentials for the 3 Phases of a Crisis” and prepare yourself to be a source of cool leadership—a crisis management expert who knows how to lead a team in mitigating reputational and financial damage.
Join PR News for this can’t-miss Webinar that will show you the communications essentials for the three phases of a crisis: the before (managing a reputation long before a crisis starts), the during (stakeholder outreach and messaging across all platforms) and the after (reputation repair and building lessons learned into your revised crisis plan).
A reputation-searing crisis is just a tweet, customer complaint, ill-considered remark, YouTube video or natural disaster away for any organization. Our panel of crisis management experts will share with you how to put together a crisis response team; create a social media action plan; navigate the first hour of a crisis; craft messages under pressure; manage media, customer and employee feedback during a crisis; and create a crisis postmortem.
Almost every day brings fresh headlines of an organization that gets caught in the harsh glare of a crisis, as their negative social media comments multiply and negative (and often inaccurate) media coverage goes viral. This PR News Webinar will emphasize the need to understand and manage the perception and reputation of your organization now so you can manage them through a crisis.
