Whether a crisis is looming or you’re already in the eye of a media storm, we will move swiftly to become an integral part of your core crisis team – engaging with the media as required.  We will produce a comprehensive, multi-stakeholder engagement plan to ensure every audience is considered, while providing real time, 24/7 media monitoring and social media listening to gauge sentiment and respond with agility. Our team crafts key communications with clear, empathetic messaging and maps multiple scenarios to ensure readiness as events unfold.  Company spokespeople are thoroughly briefed and coached by seasoned experts with firsthand experience in both global and national media, equipping them to communicate with confidence and credibility.  

When a crisis compromises a company’s systems, maintaining clear communications is critical.  That’s why CDR partners with a leading cybersecurity technology provider to provide war room software, completely separate from your core IT infrastructure and resilient against cyberattacks.

After any crisis, large or small, we conduct a thorough analysis of the response, evaluating the impact on brand reputation, and develop a comprehensive strategy for rebuilding corporate reputation.  We then work closely with you to implement this programme effectively.
