Crisis Communications

When the story is about you, you need a team that is ready.
Contact our Crisis Team

We manage crisis before, during and after

A crisis doesn't end when the cameras leave. We stay through resolution — evaluating what happened, capturing the learnings, and helping you implement strategies that prevent a repeat.

Before
Every successful crisis response starts with preparation. We identify risks, train spokespeople and build strategic response plans that help your organization act quickly and confidently when it matters most.
During
In the middle of a crisis, clarity is everything. We deliver rapid messaging, monitor developments in real time and provide experienced counsel to keep your communications aligned and your stakeholders informed.
After
Once the immediate crisis has passed, the work isn't over. We help restore trust, evaluate your response and implement improvements that strengthen your organization for whatever comes next.

The best crisis is the one you avoid

Crisis Planning & Preparation
The strongest crisis response begins long before an issue arises. We help organizations identify risks, prepare leadership, and build comprehensive plans that provide clarity and confidence when the unexpected happens.
Crisis Communications
Clear, timely communication is critical during a crisis. We develop strategic messaging, holding statements and rapid-response communications that keep stakeholders informed and protect your organization's credibility.

When the stakes are high, we help you stay coordinated. From developing communication strategy to aligning with legal counsel and crisis teams, we provide the leadership and structure needed to navigate complex situations.
Media Relations & Management
We serve as the bridge between your organization and the media. Our team manages inquiries, crafts newsworthy communications, monitors coverage and helps ensure your story is told accurately and effectively.

Not every crisis makes headlines—but every issue deserves a strategy. We help organizations protect their reputation, engage key audiences and manage communications surrounding change, emerging issues and public perception.
PRESS POWER SURGE
When every second counts, how you respond can make or break your organization's reputation. This is a high-intensity program for executives and communications teams to tackle crisis situations with confidence and clarity. Participants will learn how to craft rapid-response messaging and stay composed under pressure.

President
Lisa Van Hook, MA, APR
Lisa leads with the strategic clarity a crisis requires. Years managing national accounts and large-scale campaigns have sharpened her ability to coordinate multiple stakeholders at once — internal teams, media, and industry partners — without losing sight of the bigger picture. Her strength in relationship-building is what protects a brand's reputation when trust and clear communication matter most.
Carson Horn Headshot
Vice President & Director of Public Relations
Carson Horn, APR
Crisis work rewards discipline over instinct, and that shows in how Carson operates — turning fast-moving, high-pressure situations into clear, coordinated communications rather than scrambling for a headline. As an active member of Arkansas PRSA, he brings both the credentials and the local relationships that matter when an organization's reputation is on the line.
Lora Mosley Headshot
Account Manager & Sr. Public Relations Specialist
