Top Crisis Management Companies

A data breach, a product recall, a lawsuit, an executive arrest or a viral video can put an organization on the front page within hours. Crisis management firms prepare for that moment and run it when it arrives: they write crisis plans and holding statements, train spokespeople, rehearse scenarios with leadership, and in a live incident coordinate media, employee, customer and regulator communications alongside legal counsel.

The best time to compare crisis management consultants is before you need one. Look for firms that have handled the type of incident you fear most and can show how quickly they mobilize a senior team.

Buyer's guide

Hiring Crisis Management companies

What the work covers, how to judge a partner and what drives the price.

What crisis management firms do before and during a crisis

Preparedness work comes first: a risk audit of likely scenarios, a crisis plan naming decision makers and approval chains, prepared statements and dark web pages, media training for spokespeople, and tabletop or full simulation exercises that test the plan under pressure.

In a live crisis the firm sets up a response team, drafts statements and Q and A documents, briefs leadership, handles inbound media, monitors news and social channels, and sequences messages to employees, customers, investors and regulators. It works with legal counsel so public statements do not create liability.

Afterward, the firm reviews what worked, rebuilds reputation through follow-up communication and updates the plan. Engagements are a preparedness project, a standby retainer that guarantees availability, or emergency response billed by the hour or day.

FAQ

Crisis Management FAQs

Short answers to what buyers ask before hiring a Crisis Management company.

Question not covered? Ask our team

A crisis management firm prepares organizations for damaging events and manages communication when they happen. It writes crisis plans, trains spokespeople, runs simulations, and in a live incident drafts statements, handles media and coordinates messages to every audience with legal counsel.

Preparedness is usually a fixed project, standby support is a monthly retainer, and live response is billed by the hour or day. Firms on Edverise set floors from no minimum through $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000, and a few start at $50,000.

Crisis management responds to a specific damaging event, while reputation management shapes how an organization is perceived over time. Crisis work is urgent and coordinated with legal counsel. Reputation management covers ongoing reviews, search results, media profile and thought leadership.

Hire a crisis management firm before an incident, when you can build a plan and train leaders calmly. If a crisis has already broken, bring one in immediately so that early statements, which are hard to correct later, are handled well.

Business services and medical organizations are the largest client groups for firms in this listing, followed by education, non-profit, real estate, retail, consumer products and financial services clients. Medical and education clients face patient and student safety scrutiny, and retail and consumer brands face recalls.

Crisis management firms on this page are listed in London, New York and Sydney, among other cities. Time zone matters in this service: a firm that is awake when your story breaks and can reach your executives quickly is worth more than one with a big name.
