The Art of PR Management and Crisis Communication: Maintaining Trust & Your Image
With IGNITER Russell Mack
Session Description:
When it comes to the unexpected you must be prepared to react, respond, and rectify. Adequate communication with your stakeholders is paramount to maintaining trust and the image of your company and asset. When dealing with a crisis you must communicate properly and thoughtfully, providing enough information to keep everyone informed, but not so much that it infringes on anyone’s privacy or causes reason for panic. During this session Professor Mack will analyze various multifamily situations and guide you through how to approach your communications.
During this program attendees will learn:
- How to identify the appropriate tone and content to be delivered
- Thoughtful and concise verbiage that efficiently delivers your message
- How to respond to various events including natural disasters, property damage, and resident relations
