Crisis Communications

When the spotlight is bright, we know how to show up.

Companies need a steady, confident and experienced hand in their corner when navigating a crisis moment. Leveraging more than 25 years of communications and public relations expertise, Identity helps brands–and their leaders–navigate the most visible, complex issues using a combination of battle-tested crisis PR best practices, enterprise technology and effective, strategic counsel.

We have experience navigating virtually every type of reputational, operational and emergency-driven crisis moment, as well as culturally-relevant crisis issues that are tied to current headlines and consumer conversations.

Whether you’re preparing for your next crisis, or need a team to mobilize immediately, let us put our experience to work on your behalf.
