Crisis Management
• Advice from the experts– Be realistic. Crises happen. Plan for them.– Only designated executives should talk to the media– Explain what happened as you understand it– Tell what the company is doing to minimize the
damage– Express sympathy and concern for injured parties and
their families– Do not admit liability without knowing all the facts
(which can take weeks or months to gather)

the word "sucks.com."

– Does not usually work

Summary• PR is highly credible, but not very controllable, and,
as its name indicates, is focused on building and maintaining relationships, an essential aspect of IMC
• Corporate advertising is controversial area –questionably effective – but corporate relations in general is very important in IMC
• A crisis management plan is important and can have huge effects on organizational reputation
• MPR can be both proactive and reactive, and is focused on the brand, rather than the organization
