Crisis Comms Masterclass with Edelman

The importance and rise in support for charities has been one positive impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, it has never been more important for charitable organisations to ensure they can build trust, and continue to build on their reputation while under the spotlight.

Edelman’s team of Issues & Crisis specialists work to identify, plan for and manage reputational issues for some of the world’s biggest global brands, businesses and other organisations.

This masterclass will be an opportunity to learn about and discuss:

• How to spot a crisis issue early on
• Safeguards for charities to put in place to prepare for a crisis
• How to deal with a PR crisis using traditional media and social media
• Case study examples of charities navigating a crisis situation
• 5 key take-away action points

Following the session, members of the Edelman Issues & Crisis team will be available for small group coaching in breakout rooms to offer tailored advice to charity attendees for up to 60 minutes.
