"This past year, we hired Andrea to help us manage a potentially difficult and highly sensitive situation. She showed great sensitivity and leadership as she quickly developed a strong plan for us to share with our staff, families, and other stakeholders. This plan helped us to avoid misinformation and rumors and kept everyone informed. Andrea was wonderful to work with and I would highly recommend her."

Crisis Planning and Management

Is your company ready for a crisis? At Andrea Obston Marketing Communications one of our specialties is crisis planning and management. Crises come in all shapes and sizes. From a disastrous fire to an accountant not following the rules, crises can shake a company to its foundation. And unless you're prepared, the crisis could result in irreparable harm.

We offer two types of crisis services. First, for those companies that want to act proactively and make sure they are prepared for whatever comes down the pike, we offer crisis planning. Through our Crisis Spotting technique, we survey your company’s situation and create a crisis plan that helps guide the company through any crisis. The ultimate goal is building the right foundation to help your company not only survive, but thrive after a crisis.

For those companies that find themselves already in hot water, our firm offers immediate crisis management services to help guide your communications until the crisis passes. We work closely with you to quickly assess the situation and put our years of crisis management experience to help move the company forward.

Our subsidiary, Andrea Obston Crisis Management, provides public image crisis planning and management. The firm has managed the public face of crises since its founding in 1982, working directly with clients and through their professional advisors such as attorneys and accountants. Since 2005, the firm honored yearly as one of the state's best public relations firms for attorneys by the Connecticut Law Tribune. The firm highlights its expertise on the website www.crisismasters.com
