Crisis Communications & Strategic PR

Clarity When It Matters Most

When a crisis hits, silence isn’t a strategy — and panic isn’t a plan.

I provide structured, ethical communications support for organizations, nonprofits, public figures, and small businesses navigating high-stakes moments. My focus is simple: clarify the facts, stabilize messaging, and protect long-term credibility.

This work is offered independently through MikePhillips.Media and is separate from my journalism and editorial activities.

When You Might Need Crisis Communications Support

• Media coverage creating reputational risk
• Public allegations or legal developments
• Community backlash or social media escalation
• Donor or stakeholder concern
• Event cancellations tied to controversy
• Government investigations or regulatory scrutiny
• Leadership transitions under pressure

If your organization’s name is suddenly in headlines — whether fairly or unfairly — structured communication matters.

Reputation Stabilization Planning

My Approach

I do not:

• Attack other outlets
• Minimize serious allegations
• Blur ethical lines

I do:
• Work from primary source documentation
• Prioritize accuracy and transparency
• Separate individual allegations from institutional structure
• Protect your long-term credibility over short-term optics

Crisis communication is not about spin. It’s about structure.
