Crisis Media Training

Risk management is an area of focus for every well-run business. However, reputational risk is one that is often overlooked. Poor handling of the media in the aftermath of a crisis can prove disastrous. We provide Crisis Media Training for senior management and company spokespersons.

  • We can teach you to prepare a Crisis Media Action Plan so that you are ready to face the media whatever the crisis
  • We will help you to identify the risks, plan response strategies and most importantly train you to handle the media firestorm
  • We use a combination of on-site consultants to train and film you and also off-site experts to help build the role-playing scenario.

Length of Course: Our one-day course will give a core team of 4-6 people the skills and experience they need to face the media in a crisis. Our 2-3 day programmes allow time for action plan preparation, on-site role-playing and greater skills retention.
