As a specialist crisis communications consultancy, we know how much scrutiny those working in the entertainment industry can face – we also know how quickly unexpected and sudden scrutiny can trigger a full-blown crisis and risk severe reputational damage.  Working with the UK’s leading entertainment lawyers, we regularly represent high-profile individuals from the worlds of music, television and film, theatre, traditional media and social media.

When it comes to entertainment crisis PR, we understand that reputation management at times of difficulty is something that needs to be bespoke and reflective of the individual involved, the situation itself and the stakeholders involved. Public figures can quickly find themselves under the intense media spotlight and need a tailored approach to mitigate both the reputational damage and long-term implications on their lives and careers.  At Alder, we provide crisis communications and reputation management services to the entertainment sector and private individuals by providing strategic counsel and communications support, including tasks such as drafting media statements, handling media enquiries, and advising clients through complex issues.

Supported by decades of experience, our crisis PR specialists offer a wealth of knowledge across a variety of areas. They have managed the reputations and brands of numerous famous individuals and organisations in the entertainment industry. Our consultants have first-hand experience in the media and journalism, having held senior roles across the UK media sphere before joining Alder. They have been on both sides of front-page stories, and this experience ensures that they can help protect the reputation of individuals and brands in the entertainment industry during challenging moments.  From coordinating responses to reputationally damaging front-page stories to skilfully shaping narratives and controlling the situation, our team at Alder is equipped with a unique perspective that allows them to maintain, protect and improve our clients’ public image when facing intense scrutiny and complex issues.

Our approach to reputation management

Our approach to media crisis PR is bespoke and hands-on, entirely designed to support the client and meet their needs. We offer a range of crisis PR services that include areas such as crisis communications support and broadcast media training, which, both in their own ways, help empower public figures in the entertainment industry to navigate challenging times confidently.

Our entertainment crisis PR services provide support such as expert stakeholder management advice, statements for the press, media handling services and issues management support.  By enhancing their preparedness through our crisis media training, we also help individuals and organisations in the entertainment industry present their best selves to the public and build essential skills which will help them not only when facing an issue but throughout their career.
