  15. Is an Attack Brewing? Look for spikes in search queries Shares and retweets

  16. Basics of Sentiment Measurement • Of course you have Google Alerts. • Monitor Twitter for your name and negative modifiers, like “sucks,”“#fail” and “hate.” Look for frequent retweets, especially by influential people. • Look for keywords relevant to your industry: “blue screen,”“crash,”“won’t start,”“overheating,” etc. • Set a baseline of negativity. Everyone has a few critics. • Monitor “Posts by Others” on Facebook pages you own. • Create RSS feeds of influencers in your market. • Put an influencer relations program in place.

  17. 8 Essential Truths • Bad things happen to good companies. • There’s no time to think. • Silence is leaden. • Transparency is essential. Don’t lie and don’t assume. Ever. • The media may also be the attackers. • Attacks can come out of nowhere.   • Nearly anyone can start one. • Your solution may make the problem worse.

  18. 3 Categories of Attack Scenarios Category One – Significant potential damage to operations or reputation. Category Two – Disruption or embarrassment, possible temporary effect on sales. Category Three – annoying but not life-threatening. Prepare and rehearse response plans for each.

  19. Attack-Proofing Your Organization “Every company is now sitting on electronic quicksand." – Howard Rubenstein, PR guru • Listen constantly. • Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. • Are your policies customer-focused? • Empathy matters more than an apology. • When you screw up, admit it. • Never make it personal. • Always take the high road.
