Preparing for a Crisis
•   The hierarchy of Buzz
•   Baker & Daniels duet with SpencerConnect
•   Who’s talking?
•   Employee meeting and signoff
•   Carrot & Stick
•   First Responders & Employee list
•   Review, drill and adjust
Handling a Crisis
• Get the facts (and perhaps dial 911)
• Call Rick Michaels and Spencer Maus
• Only designates talk
• Take and keep the lead inside and out
• Press conference – release – include
  Rick
• Tell the truth – “Cannot comment.”
• Be consistent with time, place and
  message                                 It’s all your
                                              fault!
Handling a Crisis
• Reporters must ID themselves
• Think Sergeant Friday
• Problem – SOLUTION
• Video if you can – your story not
  theirs
• Handle rumors
• Twitter, facebook, Google, Blogs,
  Message Boards, YouTube, Vimeo
  etc friend or foe?
TWEET!
