PR Crisis Management
When crisis strikes, businesses and individuals become vulnerable to a host of threats both seen and unseen.
Failure to plan for Public Relations before, during, and after a crisis can result in significant loss of revenue, customer loyalty, brand equity, and more. No matter the nature of the crisis, your business and personal credibility is on the line, and action needs to be taken in order to protect what you or your company has worked so hard to build.

The AAERO Approach to Crisis Management Public Relations
There is no ‘one size fits all’ solution to any given Public Relations crisis. Every situation is going to be different. As such, AAERO employs a consultative methodology for identifying the most significant threats, developing strategies for addressing those threats, and maintaining ongoing monitoring of the results over time.
For the vast majority of our clients, this involves a multi-tiered approach consisting of the following three phases:
- Preparation.“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Nothing is as effective during a PR crisis than planning for what’s to come. While no one has a crystal ball, we can develop response plans and forecast worst-case and best-case scenarios.
- Messaging guidance. It’s rarely easy knowing what to say and how to say it in the wake of a PR crisis. AAERO helps companies and individuals use consistent, effective messaging that has the highest chances of preserving integrity and conveying professionalism.
- Ongoing risk mitigation. Often, PR crises can snowball into devastating situations via thousands of widespread social media mentions, news articles, and other forms of negative PR. AAERO employs proven plans of action that reduce the impact of these derogatory PR torrents.
Effective crisis management public relations requires a mix of technical understanding, fact-gathering, and thoughtful execution. AAERO is your partner in the fight to restore and maintain a positive image amidst even the direst of circumstances.
