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.

Common mistakes to avoid

Copying competitors blindly rarely works. Their margins, audiences and goals differ from yours. Use competitor research to find gaps and opportunities, not templates.

Ignoring follow-up wastes good marketing. Enquiries that wait hours for a reply convert far worse; a simple WhatsApp response routine often improves results more than extra spend.

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

Pricing for crisis communication planning depends on scope, competition and how much is already in place. After discovery we send a written proposal with deliverables, timelines and a fixed monthly or project fee. Advertising budgets, where relevant, are paid directly to the platforms so you keep full control.
