Kite Hill PR Quick Takes: A Lesson in Crisis Communications

The SVB bank collapse is a reminder of how critical swift, thoughtful and proactive communications efforts are for any enterprise. What the SVB-related developments are once again bringing into focus: 

  • The importance of having a crisis communications playbook ready to go.

  • In a crisis, start with what you can control: when, how and where one communicates is very much in a leader's control.

  • It’s key to proactively consider all stakeholders in these situations.

  • Be specific and consistent in follow-through beyond Day One.
