Crisis & Issue
Management
The Garrity Group’s proven track record of successfully helping communities and companies defining the issues, establishing a message, and connecting with important audiences is a part of our three-step process.
In a crisis, victims, employees/vendors, customers/community, and the media all need information. The level of compassion you show to victims will help determine how successful you and/or your team will weather the storm.
Our group has experience communicating through a variety of crisis situations including pandemic, mass casualty, downsizing of the workforce, leadership transition, local and federal legal matters, active shooter, embezzlement, aviation accidents, and natural disasters. When needed, we work as an attorney work product.
The industries where we have crisis communication and issue management clients include higher education, K-12 education, healthcare, transportation, mining, tourism, hospitality, utility, and those addressing Native American and family custody issues.
Maintain Your Reputation
Success helping companies communicate during a crisis and defining the issues that are facing an individual or a company. Creating messages, identifying an approach, establishing tools (frequently asked questions, talking points, single-purpose websites/splash pages), and quickly designing a communications cascade is of how information is disseminated are a few of the best practices we bring to the table.
In a crisis, there are four audiences that need to be addressed: victims, employees/vendors, customers, and the media. The level of compassion you show to the victim will help to determine how successful you and/or your team will weather the storm.
Our issue management approach helps to make the complex simple. Whether it is a long term infrastructure project or an impending leadership transition, The Garrity Group approach leverages our four-step process of research, planning, execution, and evaluation. Leveraging insights from our annual Garrity Perception Survey we are able to identify demographic audiences who are ready to be advocates for your industry as well as the best way to reach/engage those advocates.
