Charly Crisis Comms is the crisis communication team of Charly PR, supporting organisations in Belgium, the Netherlands and beyond with rapid crisis advice, spokesperson support and media handling.

Communicating under pressure

In a crisis, every word counts. A strong message can calm the storm; the wrong one can escalate it.

We help shape messages that are correct, clear and emotionally intelligent, showing leadership, empathy and control.

We manage crises such as:

  • employer issues (restructuring, layoffs, strikes, internal conflicts)
  • product issues (incidents, recalls, complaints, pricing sensitivities)
  • process issues (data breaches, compliance, cyberattacks, government pressure)
  • environmental incidents (explosions, pollution, PFAS)
  • reputation and trust crises

 

Before, during and after the crisis

Crisis communication is a cycle, not a moment.

Before: preparation

Risk assessments, crisis communication plan development, crisis workshops, scenario training.

During: support & advice

Immediate support and advice, messaging, statements, Q&A's, media handling, stakeholder management. 

After: recovery

Debriefing, lessons learned, recovery strategy, reputation (re)building.
