Sage Communication Management, LLC

Description

SageCM assists clients as they prepare for or respond to a crisis. We encourage our clients to plan and prepare, because experience shows the best way to handle a crisis is to anticipate and practice. Corporate longevity relies on consistency, service and results. SageCM understands the need for an integrated response to any crisis, therefore, SageCM encourages all clients (public, private, and non-profit) to consider a full strategic crisis management structure. Part of such a structure is crisis communication. Alone, it can help. However, when good crisis communication is backed by solid crisis management, the response and public perception of it are far better. This results in a much better and more complete recovery.

Non-Profit Environmental Advocacy Group Issue: A regional environmental non-profit organization was suffereing from overt and subversive image/reputation slander. Solution: SageCM was callued upon to prepare an outreach campaign to counter these attacks.

Chemical Manufacturing Company Issue: Events at several facilities, as well as the disasters of 9/11/01, led this company to realize its need to respond adequately to a crisis. While individual facilities had local emergency plans, their corporate organization had no plan for managing such events.
