In a very dynamic, fast paced environment, public relations communications grasp a huge influence over a company’s stakeholders such as customers, investors, competitors and employees. Saying the right thing all the time is pressure, right? But it comes with the territory of being successful. Having a positive outlook and seeing these critical moments as opportunities as oppose to threats is fundamental to staying on top of your game.
To many celebrities and public figures, the media industry is a minefield. Understandably so. Constantly in fear of being misinterpreted or using a contentious comment can lead to panic and despair. And that is not desirable, not when there are sponsorships, endorsements and ultimately your career on the line.
From engaging with mass audiences at a national tech conference, or pitching the new industry-disruptive product concept to the in-house team, prominent technology professionals are always in the eye of the public. Coherently articulating your speech to find the balance of appropriate jargon with interactive messaging is a valuable commodity in representing who you really are.
What your stakeholders, audience and the general public think of your brand is pivotal to its survival – which can be difficult to control as part of an organisation’s in-house communications team. If there are members of staff in your team in need of a refresher on media interview etiquette, or a loose cannon with zero experience in speaking to top-level journalists, Erbut have a bespoke solution for you.
Not being prepared for gruelling media interviews or short notice public speaking is a dangerous place for any individual or organisation. If you’re not pro-active, you could find yourself hesitant in answering critical interrogations or stut-ter-ing when delivering that key message that really showcases what you represent. But how do you prepare for the unlikeliest of scenarios? And how do you have control over the tough line of questioning from an interviewer during a crisis?
