Learn how to prepare and manage social media channels in a communications crisis
Friday 29th November 1:30pm – 4pm The Priory Rooms, Bull St, B4 6AF £35
Develop a communications crisis plan and give yourself peace of mind by being prepared.
During a comms crisis, what you do, what you say and how you react can have a huge impact on your business.
Let’s hope you will never need these skills, but should you do, you will save time, energy, money and reputation damage by having a strong system in place.
What we will cover on this half day workshop
- Planning for a communications crisis
- Performing risk assessments & checking for vulnerabilities
- Creating a team and contacts
- How to use social media to get information out during a comms crisis
- Using social media monitoring tools during a crisis
We’ll also look at case studies that have been winners, and those that could have done better!
In a comms crisis it’s easy to ‘shut down’ and try and ignore what is going on. This option just won’t work!
When you have a plan, it’s going to be so much easier to take empowered action to:
- Step up to the challenge ahead
- Show that you are acknowledging the situation
- Take control and show your leadership in the situation
Get the confidence that being prepared will bring to you and your business.
