Crisis & Risk
Edelman’s dedicated team enabling organizations to anticipate, prepare for and protect themselves from reputational harm.
The Risk Landscape
A crisis or reputational threat can no longer be seen as an isolated incident happening at a specific moment in time. Frequent and disruptive events are the new norm. They create a new reality and a new climate for businesses, brands and their stakeholders. Preparing, and maintaining a dynamic and agile response to these challenges is therefore essential.
Growing complexity requires organizations to proactively anticipate, prepare for and get ahead of potential crises, addressing them in a multi-faceted and coordinated way, whilst positioning themselves for enhanced resilience and growth in the aftermath.
Our Approach
We help organizations build resilience before a crisis happens, with integrated solutions that help to identify and mitigate risks, build trust with stakeholders and ensure that when a crisis does happen, you are ready. The intersectional nature of crises requires a structure, a mindset, and a toolkit that can address potential risks and will meet your stakeholders where they are, to deliver meaningful impact.
Crisis Planning & Preparation
The best time to get ahead of your next crisis is now.

In September 2024, Edelman launched a specialist Counter Disinformation Unit, a dedicated global team designed to help clients navigate the rising tide of disinformation threatening their operations, reputations, and stakeholder trust.

It leverages the firm’s deep expertise in risk mapping, digital strategy, and data analytics, to prepare for, contest and rebuild from disinformation threats.
