What defines a crisis? Any issue, problem or disruption which triggers negative reactions that can impact the company’s reputation, business and financial strength. Crises can be situations threatening people and property, serious disruptions to operations, lawsuits, product recalls, social media attacks, highly negative media coverage or allegations of wrongdoing. Actually, no organization is immune from issues and disruptions that can harm its reputation, revenue, and financial performance.

When a crisis strikes, the greatest damage to an organization is often the result of mismanagement of the crisis rather than the crisis itself. Poor management of a serious situation can further drive-up costs and compound the problems facing the organization. When it comes to a crisis, it is much easier to prepare and prevent, than to repair and repent. That’s where we come in.

efrata’s comprehensive service offerings help organizations navigate the lifecycle of a crisis: readiness, reaction, and recovery. Our special team of experts create a strategy and develop tailor-made solutions to meet each client’s specific needs. During the time of crisis, communication is critically important as to control the outgoing messages and to protect the organization’s reputation. efrata works with clients to help them navigate critical messages across social and traditional media channels and to inform stakeholders, while pre-empting reputational threats.

Effective crisis management minimizes damage and may even improve a company’s reputation if leaders communicate with speed, honesty and transparency.

Corporate reputation is a valuable, yet fragile asset, and must be handled with care. Companies of every size and across every industry can benefit from reputation management. Business owners understand the impact it can have on their business, so they need to know how to handle their company’s reputation effectively. Today’s consumers make purchase decisions based on brand or corporate reputation, perhaps even more so than on advertising, direct sales messages, pricing, or promotional content.

We live in times where the media environment has changed drastically, due to the «digital revolution» and the creation of large online communities of various types. Social media platforms, blogs, websites, forums, etc., are growing rapidly and influencing modern culture and all aspects of our lives.

Today, this is true more than ever. We create the content, we distribute it, we comment on it, we communicate it, and it circulates widely through social media, search engines, and the digital world. Companies should immediately be able to recognize, learn and take part in discussions about their product. They must communicate using channels that their target group also chooses and be sure that the message they communicate will be transmitted around the world only in seconds.

Social media, digital, and SEO PR include the following services:

Social media PR audits – each PR campaign should begin with an audit in order to identify the channels, but also how those who deal with the clients’ product communicate. Audits result in a detailed report and analysis of findings as well as future recommendations.

Social media PR monitoring – continuous monitoring of discussions is provided with the combined use of custom feeds and search tools. Our clients can choose to receive updates via daily reports or customised portals.

Efrata team provides guidance and support for message communication through social media networks.

Social media PR measurement Efrata has developed a measurement methodology that allows its clients to evaluate the effectiveness of the social media programs.

Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and blogs are often reported as the revolution in the media landscape. However, how much do you know about influencing potential clients using these channels, or how to manage your online reputation? This seminar covers basic sites and trends in the social media map, but also certain ways to start. The seminar lasts 3 hours and you will learn how to set up a blog or a Twitter account, how to use it to contact your target group. It will help participants to perceive the goals set.

The notion of internal and external communication is converging. Today, an internal announcement may become an “external announcement” only in a few hours. The way that a company communicates with the outer world is directly interrelated with its internal mentality. If the message isn’t the “brand” of e.g. an employee through his twitter page or his blog, inconsistency will be revealed very soon. Communication strategies can succeed or fail, according to the way internal communication is handled.

efrata considers very important the correct understanding of any internal PR action. We help our clients develop internal communication tactics, in order to communicate a key- message in the employees or to identify those employees who will participate in external communication programs.
