Infographic: The Social Media Crisis Communications Decision Tree

Sustainly

Monitoring social media on behalf of an organisation is key to online reputation management. But not every online mention requires a response. Here is a decision tree to help communicators decide on action - or inaction - when they, or someone else in their organisation, sees a potentially damaging comment or report about their brand. We also offer the Social Media action points to enhance your digital monitoring/response programme. This "decision tree" builds upon the US Air Force Public Affairs web posting response assessment process.... To learn more about our Social Media Crisis Communications training and workshops, please contact the authors at bwarner [at] gmail.com
