Communication contingency plan
Anticipate any crisis with a strategic protocol, clear and adapted to your business reality.
A crisis can arise at any time and from multiple fronts: an incident with employees, a leak, a campaign in networks or a problem with a product. The difference between overcoming it or aggravating it often lies in having a well-structured and tested contingency plan.
At 202 Digital Reputation we develop customized contingency plans based on the key phases of reputational crisis management: prevention, action and repair. Our approach is designed to ensure that each team member knows what to do, when to do it and how to communicate at each stage of the process.

Spokesperson Training Service
Our spokesperson training service is designed to strengthen the communication skills of key members of your organization, preparing them to confidently face situations of high public exposure and media pressure.
Why is it crucial to have trained spokespeople?

Because crises are unpredictable. A solid contingency plan allows for immediate and effective action from the first minute, minimizing reputational damage and ensuring a coordinated, professional response.
It includes risk analysis, definition of critical scenarios, step-by-step action protocols by severity level, crisis committee setup with assigned roles, internal and external communication guidelines, and procedures for ongoing review and updates.
We recommend a review every 6 to 12 months, or whenever significant changes occur within the company (structural, legal, reputational, or digital). The plan should also be updated after every real crisis or simulation.
Depending on the size and complexity of your organization, the process typically takes 3 to 6 weeks. This includes diagnostics, plan design, documentation, and basic team training.
A generic plan may fail at critical moments due to lack of context. A customized plan addresses your company’s specific risks, communication channels, internal structure, and corporate culture—ensuring a more effective and tailored response.
