Crisis Management

So you should count on Stock Communications Group’s knowledgeable public relations experts to tailor a program, based on our best practices, that places you in control of your message.

Too many CEOs succeed with the heavy lifting, only to turn around and drop the light work, but mistakes can cause serious harm to an organization, or even end its very existence. In other words, it takes years to build a business and reputation, but that reputation can be destroyed in minutes and take your business down with it.

Shareholders know that financial results and reputation are often directly related, so the markets are hypersensitive to perception.

Let’s face it, most companies will never access the public markets, so just getting to this stage is quite an accomplishment, which is why it’s so frustrating to see the high frequency of easily avoidable failures.
Baptism by fire has forged some of our greatest leaders, but the markets are not the place to test that theory, because even the tiniest miscue can sink the sturdiest ship and there aren’t enough lifeboats for you and your passengers. Even though you mastered the former challenges, your new landscape calls on you to navigate new lies and hidden deadly financing traps, as well as many other toxic forces.

Not to be the bearer of bad news, but, if you don’t take heed, your company may become one of the many market casualties on the exchange, joining the ranks of hopefuls that will be forced to undergo a name change names or shut the doors.

Risk management is a critical organizational function, because the corrective effort disrupts operations and negatively impacts your equity market position, so we focus on crisis prevention. Our experienced professionals will synthesize programs that help you focus on your business and promoting your current priority topics.

Many great ideas go unfinished, many entrepreneurs’ works end up in the trash heap, and many great well-funded companies fail. To ignore these facts, and fail to prepare, is to end up as another statistic.

Experience matters!
