Hinweis der Redaktion
- INTERACTIVE – ASK THE AUDIENCE WHY COMMUNICATE IN A CRISIS? During a crisis situation a brand’s reputation is at risk….. Think about how you felt about BP before the oil spill and compare it to how you feel after the oil spill. By communicating you show you are in control, in a crisis situation if you don’t take control someone else will…..that someone else could be media commentators, MPs, industry experts who may get the facts wrong! If you don’t maintain trust you are in a lot of trouble….as a drinks manufacturer no one will buy your drinks if they fear contamination, equally as an airline no one will fly on your aircraft if they don’t believe it is safe!
- Even though there are more channels, we are consuming even more news as individuals with the growth in 24/7 reporting…..
- We live in a world driven by 24hour communications – whether tv, radio, twitter, facebook and old fashioned word of mouth Our customers expect good communication to be at the heart of any customer-focussed organisation. Our challenge during the crisis was to keep all stakeholders up to speed in a rapidly changing environment, whether that be: customers due to travel Friends and families of those stranded overseas Staff and colleagues Media Government and other key stakeholders, be they tourist boards, suppliers, investors… The list is endless, and they all require timely, relevant information.
- So how did we do it? Unlike our competitors, we didn’t just sit back and deal with the situation reactively. There is a school of thought that you shouldn’t link your brand with a crisis. Indeed last week, the new head of PR for Virgin Holidays admitted their strategy was to deal with the negative and avoid drawing attention to themselves. But for me, when the crisis allows you to show the strength of your business, it is a massive opportunity. We knew there would be some backlash, cases where we got it wrong, and needed to ensure the positive outweighed the negative (in fact the negative issues raised have to date been minimal as we have already heard) We also knew we needed to balance the requirements of the business with demands of the media and sometime putting yourselves in the front line, does force you to go public with you plans earlier than you might otherwise have to. It also means that any mistakes you make will also be more public. Once you engage with the media, they will report on you, good and bad.
- INTERACTIVE - ASK THE AUDIENCE WHAT DO YOU THINK WERE OUR KEY MESSAGES? A good company will stand out in a crisis and we had a fantastic opportunity to highlight our sector and show the world the benefits of the package holiday. I’d like to show you a short video highlighting just a few of the messages that came across through the media, either via news reports or via our spokespeople.

- Just a word on online. Our websites were a lifeline for many of our customers and thanks to the online team for their support in updating them At one point, updates were being loaded to the web site every 2 hours - even throughout the night As you can see the pages were utilised by our customers and we have received many positive responses about the information available.
- Hudson plane crash: Twitter users broke the news of the incident around 15 minutes before the mainstream media alerted viewers and readers to the crash. The first recorded tweet about the crash came from Jim Hanrahan, aka Manolantern, four minutes after the plane went down, who wrote: "I just watched a plane crash into the hudson riv [sic] in manhattan".
- Staying with the web - the use of social media is absolutely key in a crisis! You can see on the slide some sample ‘tweets’ Twitter is a valuable source of information into the business – it gives you real-time feedback about where we are getting it right and sometimes wrong It give us an opportunity to contact those customers who are being negative and try to win them over. It is also a way of communicating with customers – both those due to travel and those overseas – for example, we found the site was vital in communicating with flight-only customers, some of whom were not in our care, but with whom we needed to stay in regular contact.
- The growth of media online, also allows us to track public response to stories in the media and it appears, the public don’t always believe what they read in the papers! This is an example of how, when we do it right, the general public will stand up for us, even if customers complain This customer spoke to her local paper to complain they were not given refreshments on their coach journey across Europe (despite being warned there wouldn’t be any!) There were lots of responses to this story on the papers’ website and other than one person (clearly a friend of those involved) everyone was supportive of us.
- During the crisis we appeared on all the main news channels countless times, as well as programmes as diverse as Newsnight and regional radio phone-in programmes. Action: hand-out PR Week coverage.
