Crisis Communication

“Lose money for the firm and I will be understanding. Lose a shred of reputation for the firm and I will be ruthless.”

-Warren Buffett

Your organisation’s reputation is at stake during a crisis.

Think Scott Morrison’s response to Brittany Higgins et al, Eddie McGuire, Rio Tinto’s destruction of the Juukan Gorge, Ardent Leisure’s Deborah Thomas and Dreamworld, BP’s Tony Haywood.

Our crisis training will stop your name from being added to that list.

We conduct a number of practice interviews / media conferences with participants to help them achieve a higher level of performance.

Those role plays are filmed so they can be played back and constructive feedback given on strengths and weaknesses.

Managing the Media During a Crisis

Journalists are at their most persistent during a crisis meaning your response will come under intense scrutiny.

Your ability to act swiftly, demonstrate empathy and explain what you’re doing are critical to your organisation’s reputation both short and long-term.

We’ll help you prepare for the worst.

Does your organisation truly understand how damaging a crisis could be?

Can you trust staff to say and do the right things in the midst of a crisis?

Have you done a proper crisis simulation within the last 12 months?

If you answered no to any of these questions then this could be the most important training you ever undertake.

Best media training in my 25-year career. I wish I had this knowledge years ago. Very relevant and useable 10/10.

I strongly recommend Media Savvy’s Managing the Media workshop. Insightful, practical and helpful. I feel it has helped me significantly in my approach to media interviews.

Michael Schwager Director General, IP Australia

Excellent preparation for launch of the Australian Infrastructure Plan and Senate estimates. 10/10.

Philip Davies CEO, Infrastructure Australia

Before the session, Jayne-Maree worked closely with us to create a training program tailored to our media goals. It was clear that she had put a huge amount of preparation into the content. I really appreciated the use of examples involving our organisation, competitors and industry to illustrate the practical application of different strategies and techniques. Jayne-Maree is a very knowledgeable and charismatic presenter. Even though COVID-19 scuppered our plans to conduct this training in-person, she made the session highly engaging and interactive over video. I’ve come away with lots of ideas about how to enhance our media program and have already started implementing them.

Really engaging course. Presented very well with great feedback given.

Jason Davey Virgin Australia

I got so much out of today. I started the day lacking confidence and finished the day feeling so much more informed and aware of my strengths and challenges. It was a very unthreatening environment. Thank you so much.

Kate Kissane Head of Brand & Advertising, St George

The course was very enjoyable for what otherwise could be a tough day out of your comfort zone. A good pace broken by content to give you confidence that you’re not alone facing a camera.

Kent Fallon Stockland

I was impressed that Jayne-Maree found some of our own examples to share. It shows that she spent time tailoring the content for us.

During that time, she’s helped countless PR professionals better understand the media, build relationships with journalists and achieve cut-through with their pitches and media releases.

We are consistently delighted with the feedback on Jayne-Maree’s approach to training, her knowledge and the results she delivers for our clients.

Jayne-Maree is not only highly-qualified, she’s the most engaging facilitator I’ve personally ever witnessed and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
