🚨 If you haven’t heard the word “crisis” at least 20 times this year, are you even working in communications?
Crisis plan. Crisis response. Crisis holding statement. Crisis everything.
And yet - the real panic usually starts much earlier.
At the exact moment you realise you don’t actually know what’s happening out there. Because mentions don’t line up neatly for you. They don’t wait for your approval. They don’t politely sit in one channel.
They scatter.
📰 Media, social, comments, smaller outlets that suddenly decide today is their big moment. And suddenly you’re reacting to fragments.
At MSL Baltics, one thing we rely on heavily is proper monitoring - tools that actually catch everything, not just the obvious stuff. Because in crisis, it’s not about having a message. It’s about having the full picture before you start talking.
Otherwise, you’re just responding to yesterday’s version of reality.
