PR crises are more common than ever. Regulatory fines, product recalls or failures, security breaches, fake news reports, misbehaving executives and viral social media attacks pose significant risks to corporate and brand reputation. Organizations that are unprepared can suffer disastrous consequences. Glean.info’s updated guidebook explains how to decrease the chances of suffering a calamity, handle a PR crisis properly and confidently, and rebuild the organization’s corporate reputation.
Some of the topics that the playbook covers include:
- Why a new PR crisis playbook is needed for today’s new media landscape. The accelerated pace of today’s media environment and new attitudes of customers require a new – or at least revised – PR crisis playbook.
- How to prepare a comprehensive crisis management plan. Preparing a plan to handle a calamity is just as vital as trying to avoid disasters. New research offers helpful insights on how brands can prepare for crises and deal with them when they inevitably occur.
- An in-depth examination of how major brands, including Facebook, Tesla and Papa John’s, responded to PR crises. In some cases, companies handled controversies well. In other cases, not so well.
- The latest research and recommendations from leading crisis management experts on how to survive different types of crises.
- How Nike’s PR Crisis highlighted the value of surveys for employee relations. More corporations may consider employee surveys to improve their corporate culture, protect their reputations and head off a PR crisis
