What is crisis management?
Communicating fast and well on social media when something hurts your brand.
Crisis management kicks in with a wave of negative comments, a mistaken post or a product problem. A quick, transparent, calm response is usually better than silence.
A crisis plan made in advance sets who replies when and which scheduled posts get paused.
