acceleration!

to spread to other markets.

Message

0

Community Management during
a crisis: A source of fail

AVOID

 Trying to play tricks
 Potential second levels of interpretation
 Over-reacting by responding to messages
which don’t call for an answer
 Lose sight of authentic response:
transparency ranks first
 Create fake profiles
 Omit to coordinate all those who could
play a role
 Work alone
 Think that one can clean up the web
without any damage
 PANIC
29
Learning and Changing
Learn from failure:

Get ready – and do it better – to do
something you’d never have done
earlier!

30
Winners vs. Losers:
Reputation Matters

1. Strong leadership by the CEO
2. Rapid, credible response
3. Coordinated communications –
internally and externally
4. Honest and sensitive
communications
5. Prompt analysis and dissemination
of relevant information
