Both media training and real-time crisis simulations are highly effective tools for rehearsing and successfully managing media incidents, especially when administered prior to a public expose. Among other crucial skills, you, your clients and key members of their brand team will learn how to:
Establish a scramble team
Outline event communication protocols
Create a decision chain
Develop holding statements for the media
Evaluate media crisis potential
It is important to be realistic - some public personalities shine too brightly
to expect that personal incidents will escape media attention; however, a trained client is less likely to behave in a manner that will exacerbate media tension.
