Why crisis planning should be part of your comms strategy?

Crises are unpredictable?but they are manageable. Crisis planning should seamlessly integrate with long-term communications plans rather than interrupting them.?

Why media analysis matters in a crisis??

Effectively communicating the organisation’s position during a crisis is the responsibility of the PR/Comms function, which requires tailored approaches rather than a one-size-fits-all solution. Media analysis plays a pivotal role in guiding decision-making during a crisis by identifying key influencers, prevailing narratives, and interpretations. By isolating and analysing these factors, organisations can make informed decisions that address concerns, predict outcomes, and manage stakeholders effectively.

Key areas of focus for media analysis during a crisis include identifying:?

  • Prevailing narratives and interpretations?
  • Key areas of concern and unpredictable elements?
  • Tendencies among different media sources?
  • Key influencers and stakeholder positions?
  • Industry issues and competitor positions?
  • Other organisations' activities and learnings from past crises?

How to interpret insight reports?

Define your "Good"

The first step in interpreting insight reports is to define what “good” means for your organisation. What are your goals and objectives? What key performance indicators (KPIs) are you tracking? Without a clear definition of success, it’s challenging to determine the value of the insights presented.?

Context Matters?

Context is crucial when assessing the quality of insights. Here are several aspects of context to consider:??

  • Intent??
  • Perception??
  • Media landscape?
  • Competitive landscape??
  • Existing narrative???
  • Impact?

Interpreting the data?

Quantitative metrics:?Start by looking at quantitative metrics such as the number of mentions, reach, engagement share of voice. These metrics provide a quantitative snapshot of your media presence and establish the context for understanding the landscape This as a standalone, is thin; but as a starting point for insight is valuable.??


Content analysis:?Dig deeper into the content of mentions. What is the sentiment? How prominently is your company mentioned? Do you share much content with competitors? What are people saying about your brand or organisation? What is driving mentions – proactive measures or external narratives? How does your comms support the wider organisational pillars? What value are spokespeople bringing? ?This qualitative analysis can provide valuable insights into public perception.??

Competitor landscape analysis:?Don’t forget to compare your performance with that of your competitors. Are they gaining more media coverage or generating more positive sentiment??Understanding your competitive position can guide your future PR efforts.??

?

Trends over time:?Analyse trends over time to identify patterns and changes. Analysis over time can help predict how and when competitors will act, how the media will pick up on different topics, who the influential voices are. Understanding these trends can help you navigate internal expectations and external challenges to fine-tune your PR strategies.??

Audience insights:?Explore audience demographics and behaviors. Who is engaging with your content, and how are they interacting with it? This information can help you tailor your messaging to better resonate with your target audience.??

Actionable insights: Finally, look for actionable insights. What specific actions can you take based on the data? Whether it’s adjusting your messaging, finding new means to legitimise your position, targeting a different audience, or launching new campaigns, the insights from your report should inform your next steps.?
