In this episode, Christina Martini and Pat Milhizer discuss:

  • Hardball questions and crisis communication. 
  • Navigating tricky waters with customers and the media. 
  • Developing relationships with reporters and other news outlets. 
  • Repurposing social media for other opportunities. 

 

Key Takeaways:

  • You should take a holistic approach to everything, especially a crisis, to not just cope with the crisis, but also to find clarity and answers.
  • Having a personal approach, where you\\u2019re not being too combative, can often work best when working with reporters. 
  • You make your own luck - pick the right spot and be ready for any opportunity to get in front of the public. 
  • Never say (or write) something to a reporter that you wouldn\\u2019t want to see on the front page of the newspaper. 

 

"If you want good press, you\\u2019ve got to make time for your PR reps." \\u2014  Pat Milhizer
