While usually something to avoid or deflect, a crisis is very often an unexpected chance to communicate key messages, strategic strengths, and corporate values. And while difficult to leverage such an opportunity in the midst of handling a legal, compliance, shareholder, or consumer crisis, it’s much easier when you’ve prepared a Crisis Management Plan in advance. Preparedness is the hallmark of effective, efficient, and responsible crisis management, and Novus will assist your organization in preparing a plan so you are ready when crisis strikes.

A few key truths – crises will occur in your business, your stakeholders will be affected, and your company’s reputation will change as a result.

Our expert teams provide crisis plans and training, strategic counsel, media training, message development and delivery, social media monitoring and response, collateral development, and media outreach in high-pressure environments.
