FAQs About Crisis Management – What You Need to Know

How quickly can BoardroomPR help me respond to a crisis?

Immediately. Our Crisis PR team is available 24/7 and can mobilize within minutes. We quickly assess the situation, identify risks, and implement a strategic response—often before a story gains traction. From drafting holding statements to coordinating media outreach and internal communications, we act fast to contain and control the situation.

What should I do first when a PR crisis hits?

Pause and avoid reacting impulsively. Early missteps can significantly escalate the situation.nContact the BoardroomPR crisis team immediately so we can triage the situation, gather facts, align messaging, and determine the best course of action—ensuring your response is accurate, measured, and strategic from the outset.

Can you still help if negative media coverage has already happened?

Yes—but timing is critical. We are often brought in after a story has already broken. While we can still manage fallout, correct inaccuracies, and influence the narrative, our ability to control outcomes is more limited once coverage is widespread. Crisis PR is most effective when we are engaged early. If a potential issue is emerging, immediate action can significantly improve results.

Can you stop a negative story from being published or aired?

In most cases, no—but it depends on the situation. Once a reporter is actively developing a story, stopping publication is rare. However, early engagement can sometimes shape the outcome by providing context, correcting inaccuracies, or contributing information that leads to more balanced coverage or adjustments to the story. The earlier we are involved, the more influence we may have.

Can Crisis PR prevent negative media coverage?

Not entirely—but it can significantly reduce its impact. Through proactive messaging, media strategy, and real-time monitoring, we help shape the narrative. In many cases, we can correct misinformation, provide context, or shift coverage toward your response and resolution rather than the crisis itself.

Will you speak to the media on our behalf?

Yes. We manage all media communications, including inquiries, statements, and interviews. Our team can act as your spokesperson or support your internal team—ensuring every interaction is handled strategically and consistently.

What types of crises do you handle?

BoardroomPR has experience managing a wide range of crises, including:
• Negative media investigations
• Lawsuits and regulatory issues
• Executive or employee misconduct
• Data breaches and cybersecurity incidents
• Social media controversies
• Operational failures and accidents
• Reputation attacks and misinformation

While best practices exist, every crisis is unique. We tailor our strategy to the specific facts and circumstances of each situation.

Which industries need Crisis PR services?

Any organization with a reputation to protect. We provide Crisis PR and reputation management services across healthcare, finance, real estate, hospitality, technology, nonprofit, and professional services throughout Florida, Miami, South Florida, Tampa, and Naples. We also advise high-profile individuals, executives, and public figures. If your brand is visible, you are vulnerable—and preparation is key.

Do I really need a crisis communications plan if my company is small or low-profile?

Yes—because crises don’t discriminate by size or visibility. Many organizations assume they are too small to be affected, but some of the most damaging crises happen to companies with no plan in place—where a single issue escalates quickly without preparation. Whether you are a growing business, established company, or public-facing individual, a crisis plan ensures you can respond quickly, communicate clearly, and make informed decisions under pressure. BoardroomPR develops customized Crisis PR and online reputation management plans tailored to your risks, and we train your team on how to respond before a crisis occurs.

How is Crisis PR different from reputation management?

Crisis PR is immediate and reactive. It focuses on managing urgent situations in real time—such as negative media coverage, legal issues, executive misconduct, or viral incidents. The goal is to stabilize the situation, control messaging, and reduce damage quickly. Reputation management and online reputation management are longer-term strategies focused on shaping how a brand is perceived over time. This includes improving search results, strengthening digital presence, addressing reviews, and promoting positive content to reduce the visibility of negative information. In most cases, Crisis PR handles the immediate response, while reputation management focuses on long-term recovery and rebuilding trust.

Can you remove negative stories or “push bad press down on Google”?

In most cases, we cannot remove legitimate news articles or published content from Google. However, we can use online reputation management strategies to reduce their visibility in search results. When negative content appears in search, we work to “push bad press down on Google” by developing and promoting positive, authoritative content, strengthening SEO, and improving overall digital presence. We also assist with managing bad reviews and building a stronger, more accurate online reputation over time.

What sets BoardroomPR apart from other agencies when it comes to Crisis PR?

Our team brings decades of experience managing high-stakes, high-pressure crises. We’ve handled matters involving legal issues, executive challenges, regulatory scrutiny, and major media attention. Our team includes former journalists, senior PR strategists, and crisis advisors who understand how news develops and how to influence outcomes in real time. What truly sets us apart is judgment. In a crisis, every decision matters. We move quickly, think strategically, and guide clients with clarity under pressure. We also stay ahead of the evolving media landscape, including digital and social platforms, ensuring full-spectrum protection.

What are your deliverables for Crisis PR services?

Our Crisis PR services are fully hands-on and designed to manage both strategy and execution in real time.
Deliverables include:
• Crisis assessment and response strategy development
• Core messaging and key talking points
• Media statements and press releases
• Internal and stakeholder communications
• Media relations support, including inquiries and interviews
• Ongoing media monitoring and updates
• Strategic guidance as the situation evolves

We ensure messaging is consistent, controlled, and aligned across all audiences until resolution.

How does BoardroomPR protect our reputation in the long term?

Crisis management doesn’t end when the headlines fade. We focus on reputation management and online reputation management through strategic communications, SEO strategy, positive media coverage, and stakeholder engagement—helping rebuild credibility and strengthen long-term trust.

How does BoardroomPR structure crisis engagements?

We offer flexible engagement models based on urgency and complexity. Many crisis situations are handled on a flat-fee basis for immediate response. For more complex or ongoing issues, we offer monthly retainers—typically three to six months—for sustained strategy, media management, and reputation recovery support.
