Creating Your PR Crisis Plan

It is a common misconception that you cannot prepare for a crisis. At Alder, we help organisations prepare for the unexpected and put the necessary frameworks in place so that they can weather even the most challenging of storms.

Unforeseen and often turbulent challenges hide around the corner and hit when an organisation least expects them. In such a landscape, having a solid PR crisis plan is critical. It shouldn’t be seen as a simple proactive measure but as a smart, strategic investment in safeguarding a brand’s reputation and maintaining stakeholder trust.

At Alder, we acknowledge the importance of proactive crisis planning and work closely with our clients to develop inclusive, bespoke strategies that meet any organisation’s specific objectives to anticipate potential crises.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of crisis PR planning?

Partnering with experienced consultants to develop your PR crisis plan offers multiple benefits when it comes to crisis management.

Preparedness: Crisis PR planning allows you to anticipate potential crises, identify potential risks and vulnerabilities, and be more prepared to respond swiftly and effectively when a crisis hits.

Damage Control: A crisis PR plan helps minimise the negative impact on an organisation’s brand image, reputation and bottom line.

Maintaining Trust: Effective crisis communication helps you maintain trust and credibility with stakeholders, including customers, employees, investors, and the public.

Legal and Regulatory Compliance: Crisis PR planning ensures that you comply with legal and regulatory requirements governing what you can say. By establishing protocols for handling sensitive information, communicating with stakeholders, and managing media inquiries, you can minimise liabilities associated with crisis situations.

Why is communication essential in a crisis?

Clear and timely messaging is essential for maintaining trust and credibility during times of uncertainty. Crafting strategic crisis communications that resonate with stakeholders and convey transparency and accountability is then an essential part of your PR crisis plan. Whether drafting press releases, managing social media channels, or coordinating media relations, every piece of communication must align with your organisation’s values and objectives. By prioritising clarity and consistency, we help many organisations weather the storm and emerge stronger than before.
