Common mistakes to avoid

The most expensive mistake is scaling before tracking works. If calls, WhatsApp chats and form leads are not measured by source, budget decisions become guesses.

Another frequent mistake is changing direction too often. Most channels need several weeks of consistent effort before the data is reliable enough to judge; switching tactics weekly resets the learning each time.

Choosing the right crisis communication planning partner

Insist on owning your assets — ad accounts, pages, websites, content and data. A trustworthy partner sets things up in your name so you keep everything if you ever change direction.

Ask any agency three questions: what exactly will you deliver each month, how will you measure it, and what will you do if results lag? Clear answers are a better sign than big promises. Be wary of anyone guaranteeing rankings, followers, coverage or overnight sales.

Why crisis communication planning matters

Budgets are finite, so the real question is not whether crisis communication planning works in general but whether it is the right next step for your business. We answer that honestly in discovery, and if another channel would serve you better first, we will say so.

What to prepare before we start

Before we start, it helps to gather a few things: access to your website analytics and ad accounts (if any), a list of your best-selling products or most profitable services, examples of competitors you admire or worry about, and any brand guidelines. None of this needs to be perfect — we will help organise it.

How pricing works

Every proposal separates our fee from third-party costs such as ad spend, tools or creator fees, so you can see exactly where money goes. Reports then connect that spend to the outcomes we agreed at the start.
