Don't let a crisis ruin your PR strategy
Even some of the world's most reputable companies can tell you: No brand is immune to a PR crisis. Having a plan in place to mitigate the crisis - if not prevent it entirely - and manage it while it's happening is critical to your ability to recover from it and rebuild public trust after the fact. No one wants or expects a media storm, but when it hits, the brands who are most prepared come out on top. The question is: Are you and your team prepared to handle a PR emergency?
