Crisis Communications

You never saw it coming. Or perhaps you have been watching it approach for a long time, and your most heroic efforts haven’t been enough to stop it.

Times of crisis can unnerve even the most responsible organizations. Despite careful study and responsible measures, companies downsize, employees commit criminal acts and equipment malfunctions. With CFM’s best practices at your side during times of crisis, you can maintain your hard-earned reputation. It’s one thing to talk to the media during expansion; it’s quite another when you’re laying off hundreds of employees.

Conkling Fiskum & McCormick partners and staff include former journalists and executives ready to train you to speak effectively to the media or other target audiences. CFM also offers a professional voice on behalf of clients who need a public spokesman for situations such as labor negotiations.

CFM also can guide you through the drafting of a crisis communications plan, if you don’t yet have one.
