PlasmaN grupa – TURN THE CRISIS TO YOUR ADVANTAGE

Bill Gates, Microsoft founder

„Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can’t lose.“

Crisis PR can salvage reputation and jobs

Sooner or later, every company finds itself in a situation where its integrity and reputation are threatened. But few realise that preparing for a crisis can save them from ruin. If crisis communication is part of your strategic plan, you will meet the crisis head on. If not, consequences will be much direr and a lot of time and effort will go into rebuilding your reputation.

In the spring of 2010 BP’s platform in the Gulf of Mexico exploded. 11 workers dies, and oil polluted the entire US south coast. BP wasn’t prepared for a crisis and reacted slowly, with nontransparent communication and executives who shirked from responsibility.

Poor crisis communication damaged the company’s reputation further, and its shares plummeted. BP lost its market leader position and is now worth 30% less than before the crisis.

You can’t allow this to happen to your company.

In times of crisis the most important thing is to react quickly. You need to anticipate ill-disposed media, and tell your side of the story quickly, resolutely and transparently.
