Crisis communication used to be handled exclusively through official channels: press releases and designated spokespeople and media relations experts. Not any more, thanks to social media. Today, everyone is a reporter and anyone can be a spokesperson.
Join us as we kick off 2010 with this exciting, informative progra...m. You’ll enjoy an enlightening discussion around:
+ Cisco’s process and preparation for crisis communication
+ How a major consumer product retailer used social media during a product recall
+ Monitoring/measuring social media during the worst bushfires in Australia’s history
+ The changing rules of engagement for social and traditional media
+ Social media policy and employee engagement
Our Panelists:
Nigel Glennie, Cisco. Nigel is responsible for crisis and timely issue communication in Cisco’s crisis communication team.
Milton Hill, Mediascape Global. Founder and CEO, Milton recently spearheaded a massive analytical project, commissioned by the Royal Commission Inquiry, involving review and reconstruction of media behaviors, in particular social media, during the 2009 Victorian bushfires in Australia.
Robert Jensen, FEMA. Robert is currently the Deputy Director, Office of External Affairs, FEMA where he is responsible for the direct oversight and management of all internal and external strategic communication and outreach efforts.
Rachel Polish, Ogilvy’s 360° Digital Influence. Rachel is West Coast vice president focusing on social media strategy and building powerful word of mouth campaigns for clients. Rachel is a Reservist with the Coast Guard.
Jane Jordan-Meier (moderator): Jane has over two decades’ experience in crisis communication and is currently writing a book about media management in the digital age.
