PR Tips on How to Handle When an Executive’s Bad Presentation is Shared on Social Media

Earlier this week, crisis communications and media training expert Gerard Braud polled social media to ask, “What should you do if an executive does a presentation that goes badly and goes viral on social media?” The PR experts have weighed in on our social media pages and their best practices are shared in this video.

What do you have to add to this discussion? What medium would you use to control the situation and manage the crisis? Have you had or heard of any crisis communication scenarios like this one we are describing? How would you deal with the executive, CEO, or spokesperson after the crisis died down on social media?
