ARE YOU PREPARED FOR A MEDIA BLITZ?
CRISIS MANAGEMENT:
Recent public relations disasters have highlighted the need for all companies to have a well planned media strategy.
The “it won’t happen to us” philosophy simply isn’t good enough.
It could, and when it does, the 24 hour media cycle is akin to stopping a runaway train.
Damage can be immense and in some cases irreparable.
Bottom lines suffer. Promising careers are wrecked.
BE PREPARED:
Having a well-honed media strategy can’t guarantee this won’t happen, but it is a great damage limiter.
Grainger, Maynard and Gardiner offer a range of tailor-made practical courses designed to help executives fully understand how the modern media works, the actions to take in a crisis situation, and importantly how to run a pro-active media campaign when everything is running smoothly.
There are many others offering similar training but few with the depth or range of experience we offer.
