Crisis Communications and Issues Management
Crisis Communications/Issues Management has been a specialty of The Benscheidt Communications Group for more than 25 years. National, high profile cases involving top corporations and government agencies have been handled by the Group with impressive success (see partial list of examples and letters below).
When “60 Minutes” arrives, with millions of viewers watching, the situation must be handled expertly. The stakes are too high to experiment with new, unproven strategies. How one responds will directly affect the bottom line. The Benscheidt Communications Group has noteworthy expertise in Crisis Communications/Issues Management and has successfully guided many clients through dangerous TV news and controversial newspaper stories.
Whether Los Alamos National Laboratory and the alleged theft of U.S. nuclear weapons secrets; 14 firefighters dying in a canyon fire; the nation’s second largest blood supplier having its blood purity questioned; or Hanford, the world’s largest nuclear waste depository preparing for a “60 Minutes” story, The Benscheidt Communications Group has the crisis communications and issues management experience.
As stated in the Journal of Business, “If any consulting firm could get a business ready to handle adverse news, The Benscheidt Communications Group has the credentials.” Because of their proven successes in crisis communications and issues management, they continue to be in high demand.
