Significance and Benefits in Japan

1

Building a System to Prevent Crises

The core principle of crisis management is prevention. The risks that could escalate into a crisis vary for each company. Identifying and mitigating these risks in advance is crucial. However, conducting this process internally can be highly challenging. Within the company, certain risks may become normalized, or employees may hesitate to raise concerns. This is why having an external, third-party perspective is essential.

Serving as the Final Line of Defense in Communication

Companies face a wide range of risks, including data breaches, social media backlash, and corporate scandals. In today's landscape of diverse ideologies and heightened political correctness, even the most cautious companies may face criticism. Effective crisis management PR assumes that crises will occur and positions the company as the final line of defense, engaging in continuous dialogue with the media and key stakeholders.

Restoring Trust

A company's response after experiencing a crisis determines its survival. The key to recovery lies in taking appropriate, continuous action and effectively communicating these efforts to stakeholders. Every crisis presents an opportunity. With experience in managing and resolving over 40 major corporate crises, we provide companies with the strategy and execution needed to not only regain stability but also enhance their reputation post-crisis.

Challenges Jayid Solves

Q

If we wait until a crisis occurs, it’s already too late.

A

Crisis Management Training

The initial response is the most critical factor in crisis situations. Mishandling the first moments of a crisis can lead to irreparable damage. We provide training on how to react when a crisis unfolds—whether it's a corporate scandal, media inquiry, or viral backlash on social media. This includes simulated press conferences and drafting public apologies under real-world pressure, primarily targeting top executives.

Q

We don't know where to start when a crisis occurs...

A

Crisis Risk Assessment & Manual Development

Each company faces unique crisis risks. We conduct comprehensive risk assessments and develop escalation protocols tailored to worst-case scenarios. This includes identifying who will take the lead in crisis communication, defining decision-making frameworks, and establishing a clear chain of command for managing crises.

Q

We are currently facing a crisis.

A

Support for crisis management response teams and public relations handling.

When a crisis strikes, the immediate priority is forming a crisis response team and gathering critical information. Our firm actively participates as part of this team, guiding decision-making and supporting strategic communication. If necessary, we facilitate the inclusion of legal counsel and other experts. From determining the root cause of the issue to developing tailored communication plans for different stakeholders, we work alongside companies to resolve the crisis effectively.

Q

How do we rebuild trust after a crisis?

A

Trust Recovery Package

After a crisis, companies face a long and arduous path to restoring trust. The approach to communication is key—neither excessive public apologies nor an attempt to ignore the situation will lead to sustainable recovery. The right course of action is to acknowledge mistakes, demonstrate proactive efforts to prevent recurrence, and shift toward a forward-looking narrative. We help companies communicate this journey effectively, turning a crisis into an opportunity through strategic public relations.
