The crisis is coming. The only question is whether you are ready for it.
Crisis communications and reputation management from someone who has managed real ones — at the largest state agency in Texas, at Fortune 500 companies, and in front of national and international media.
Crisis Preparedness & Response
Plans built to be used, not filed. Scenario planning, escalation protocols, and response architecture for the crises most likely to affect your business. We test the plan before you need it.
Reputation Management
Both proactive — building the equity that absorbs a hit — and reactive — managing the narrative after one lands. The time to protect a reputation is before it needs defending.
Executive Crisis Training
The simulation work that determines whether your leadership performs under pressure or folds. Built on 25+ years of being the journalist asking the hard questions — and knowing exactly what the answers need to be.
Stakeholder Communications
Employees, investors, regulators, community stakeholders. Every audience requires a different register and a different timeline. We map them and manage them so nothing falls through in the critical first 72 hours.
When Champion is integrated into your brand work rather than bolted on after a crisis arrives, we already know your brand, your vulnerabilities, your stakeholders, and your voice. We do not spend the first 48 hours getting briefed on your messaging. We spend them managing the response. That 48-hour window is often the one that decides how the story ends.
The plan is the easy part. Having lived through it is not.
There are crisis consultants who have written plans. There are consultants who have run simulations. Then there are people who have managed actual crises in front of national and international media. We are in the second category.
