The Crisis Communications Network Europe (CCNE) is an exclusive network of owner-operated reputation and crisis advisory firms, each with deep local expertise and a shared commitment to the highest professional standards.
Alder is the sole UK member. Our membership means clients working with us on any aspect of reputational risk – from early-stage diagnostic work through to crisis response – can draw on coordinated expertise across Europe when their situation demands it. For European partners, we are the go-to firm when a crisis has significant UK media or stakeholder dimensions.
A regulatory investigation, a social media crisis, a product failure, or a legal dispute can generate media and stakeholder pressure across multiple countries simultaneously. When that happens, an organisation needs expert crisis communications support that is nationally grounded in each market.
Through the CCNE, Alder’s clients have access to the continent’s leading crisis and reputation advisory firms, with collective expertise across the sectors where reputation is most exposed, including charities, healthcare, education, leisure, corporate and financial services. Alder’s clients can be reassured that immediate and trusted support is available across Europe should it be required.
For European partner agencies, Alder is the go-to firm when a situation has significant UK media, regulatory, or stakeholder dimensions, whether that is national press attention, Parliamentary scrutiny, or reputational exposure in British public life. Our UK capability spans issues management through to live crisis response, drawing on the local knowledge and media contacts of an established team of crisis PR experts.
Alder brings the full breadth of its reputation, risk and crisis advisory capability to the network:
