Crisis Communications
Crisis communications is a set of emergency and strategic actions designed to protect the reputation of a company or individual during a public crisis: a scandal, information attack, negative media coverage, or customer backlash.
The goal is to stop the spread of a harmful narrative, regain control of the information landscape, and restore audience trust while minimizing reputational and financial losses.
Who Needs It
- Companies facing an information attack or public scandal
- Businesses experiencing widespread negative coverage in the media or on social media
- Executives involved in a public conflict
- NGOs and government institutions facing reputational threats
- Anyone who wants to be prepared for a crisis in advance

/01
When does a company need to work with the media?
Working with the media is essential when you want to increase brand awareness, strengthen audience loyalty, or quickly communicate important information about an event, product, or company changes.
Media communications are also critical when you need to improve your reputation, reduce negative coverage, or mitigate reputational risks.
/02
What can brand–media collaboration look like?
We offer two approaches to working with the media:
1. Situational approach. This involves the quick placement of ready-made materials, such as press releases, announcements, and articles, in the media, either on a paid or earned basis. It is suitable for one-off news opportunities.
2. Strategic media relations. A longer-term and systematic approach that builds brand awareness and trust over time. It includes:
– ongoing work with news opportunities;
– developing relationships with editorial teams;
– participation in industry events, discussions, and public communications;
– regular communication with journalists.
This approach requires the company to have experts who can quickly comment on current events, give interviews, and represent their industry publicly. When needed, we also prepare your experts for public speaking and media work, from interviews to live broadcasts.
/03
What determines the effectiveness of media relations?
The value of the news opportunity. What you communicate should be genuinely interesting to your target audience, whether clients, partners, or the market as a whole.
Context and timing. It is important to consider the political and social context, current events, holidays, and other factors that can either amplify your story or overshadow it.
The strength of the story. Novelty, uniqueness, scale, or a compelling element can significantly influence whether the media will pick up your story.
/04
What do you get by working with u.comms?
Resource efficiency. Instead of hiring separate specialists, you get a full-service team that handles communications end to end, faster and more efficiently.
Communications tailored to your goals. We communicate your information in the way that works best for you, taking your objectives and context into account.
Expertise and results. We work as experienced media professionals, focusing not on the process itself, but on its impact on your brand.
/05
Do you need a major news story to get media coverage?
No. Strong expertise can be a news opportunity in itself. We help identify relevant topics where your brand’s experts can provide valuable commentary, explain complex issues, or add professional context to a current news story.
