However, sometimes “hacking” it just doesn’t cut it.

'Happy New Year! 2014 was an eventful year, especially when it came to crises of all different sizes and scales. But let’s not be fooled. 2014 is officially behind us, but the risks and threats that leave every organization open to destruction are not. In fact, as we saw with the Sony crisis in December, these risks and threats are only bound to grow – as are today’s crisis management challenges.

'What is public relations? Why in 2015 are we still asking what is PR? Most people who don’t work in public relations have a very poor grasp about what PR actually is and those working in related disciplines, such as advertising and marketing, often have the weakest grasp in that they think they know what it is, but are actually often wrong.
