CRISIS MANAGEMENT

The best defense is a good offense.

Austin Communications will help you avoid problems before they become big expensive issues.  We implement effective community relations outreach projects that position a client to forecast a potential crisis and quickly respond to either the reality or perception. Our goal is to ensure that you will avoid problems before they become serious issues.

Austin Communications has specialized in offering strategic counsel to companies, associations, and individuals who have challenging public perception difficulties.  We have earned a reputation as a hard-working and full-service communications firm that thrives on assisting industries in implementing media outreach programs to increase public awareness and/or shape or change the image of our client’s industry, company or product.

Shaping the public’s perception of an issue and moving public opinion is typically the goal. We work with clients to target and mobilize partner constituencies to influence opinion leaders, elected officials, reporters, editors, and the broadcast media. We have generated and secured passage of legislative resolutions that have aided our clients in averting a crisis; activated support for initiatives through letters to the editor, op/ed pieces, letters to elected officials, and successfully placed news articles in the mainstream media.

We want to take on the tough issues.  We know how to assist clients in launching creative media messages, design and implement issue-oriented media strategies, and build bridges with non-traditional allies to broaden a client’s reach.

Call us if you need help with your corporate or organizational identity, designing a community relations strategy to increase brand identity, or if you need to avoid a potential crisis in the community where you do business.

We learned from Ronald Reagan, who told us, “There’s no end to what you can accomplish if it doesn’t matter who gets the credit.”

Tell us what’s troubling your company or organization.  We want to help you.
