Metro Detroit
It is a Monday morning in Metro Detroit, and a clip of something that happened on a deal is spreading through a neighborhood Facebook group. The comments are piling up, a reporter has left a voicemail and your team is texting you to ask what they should say.
In a crisis, the first hours set the story. We help you get the facts straight, write a short holding statement, decide who speaks and what everyone else says, and answer the reporter, the comments and your own clients with one consistent message.
The story runs its course instead of growing. People see a business that took it seriously, owned what it should and fixed what was wrong, and you come out with a written plan for next time.
Tap the ones that sound like your week.

What we report every month: Response time, Media inquiries handled, Tone of comments and reviews, and Search results for your name.
Get the facts before you post, and say something short that shows you know and care. A holding statement buys time without guessing: you are aware, you are looking into it and you will share more. Then make sure everyone on your team knows not to comment.
Reporters will write the story with or without you, so a calm, brief statement usually beats no comment. Stick to what you know, do not speculate and do not blame. If you need time, say when you will get back to them and do it.
If there is an injury, a legal claim, a privacy issue or an employee matter, talk to your attorney and insurance partner before saying much. We are not a law firm, and we work alongside the licensed professionals you choose. Good crisis communication and good legal advice fit together.
It depends on how urgent and how public the situation is, how many channels need managing and how long the response runs. A written plan made in calm times costs much less than help in the middle of a storm. We quote a fixed fee for planning, and a clear fee for active response after a short call.
Every business should know who speaks, who approves, where the facts get gathered and what the first statement looks like. A one-page plan and a contact sheet turn panic into a checklist. It takes an afternoon and pays back the first time something goes sideways.
You know the business best, but it is hard to think clearly when it is your name in the comments.
Sometimes right for small things, often read as guilt when the story is already spreading.
Calm help fast, one message across every channel and a plan to rebuild trust afterward.
