Crisis communication during complex situations is key to help the company to:

  • Maintain or gain trust

  • Master its communication

    through the right messages

  • Be a tactical leverage

    for negotiations

  • Rebuild the vision

    for the company and guide the top management

Whether it is in anticipation or in reaction to an event

Crisis communication requires 4 major principles:

Reactivity

to avoid the spreading of rumors and master what is said about the company

Consistency

to channel the different emitting sources

Discipline

to master the messages

Confidentiality

for strategical matters
