FiredUp! - The Startup Marketing Podcast
The Essentials of Crisis Comms
The different types of PR exist on a spectrum. Traditional PR exists to boost a brand’s reputation and bring exposure to the best parts of the business, whereas crisis management sometimes works to limit exposure in order to save the brand’s reputation. Today on the podcast, FireBrand’s own Chris and Ian sit down to talk about what crisis communications entail, when you need it, and how to prepare your business when a crisis inevitably arises. This week, episode 37 of the FiredUp! podcast is about The Essentials of Crisis Comms!
