Communicating in a crisis

Reaching out to staff during the Covid-19 lockdown.

Communicating in a crisis

Businesses face a very difficult situation. Not just adapting to Covid-19 operationally but if and how to share what they are doing about it.  One of our engineering clients, Lucy Electric, faced this dilemma but chose to be open in their approach to employees. Going beyond a statement in the post or by email they released a video message from the CEO providing reassurance to their global workforce.

Wondering whether or not to outsource your video communications requirements? 

There are lots of people who enjoy dabbling in video and there are now many 'cheap and cheerful' tools out there that make it easier than ever to do it yourself. Almost anyone with a camera phone can now start making basic films. 

In a way, this 'video democracy' is all good. User-Generated Content (UGC) by its very nature doesn't have to be slick and professional.  Much of its appeal lies in its viral spontaneity, which can be great for recording live event phenomena or adding a down-to-earth touch. But is this method appropriate when communicating a concise business message for your brand?
