EVENT INFORMATION
Title: Crisis Communications and Social Media: Be Proactive in your Reaction

When crisis strikes in the digital age, the news cycle can impact your brand in a matter of minutes. At times like these, what you do next matters most. In today's fluid social media environment, companies, countries, and organizations are trying to understand how best to leverage social media tools to proactively engage with key audiences and protect their brands in times of crisis.

In an environment where innuendo parades as truth and misinformation can spread like wildfire, understanding in advance best practices for protecting online reputations before, during, and after a crisis occurs will ultimately determine success or failure in the court of public opinion.

In this session the speakers will offer:
  • Case studies of social media crisis engagement efforts
  • Do’s and Don’ts for blogger engagement in times of crisis
  • Integrating online and offline strategies for coordinated messaging and crisis response
  • Best practices for working with clients to develop crisis plans before a crisis hits and for implementing rapid response social media crisis tactics
  • Effectively advising reluctant or skeptical clients on the importance of wading into the social media space in times of crisis
PANEL
  • Andy Carvin, NPR
  • Dallas Lawrence, Levick Strategic Communications
  • Jon Eick, New Media Strategies
  • Gayle Weiswasser, TMG Strategies
