Last week, I had the pleasure of chatting with Shel Holtz about the Crock-Pot and Tide Pod Challenge incidents, on his widely recognized PR Podcast, “For Immediate Release” (“FIR”).
My conversation with Shel begins at roughly the 6-minute mark, where we spend a good 15 minutes discussing:
- Whether the Tide Pod Challenge and the Crock-Pot incidents were issues or crises – and why;
- The impact of emotion and relatability, and how each of these brands chose to respond to these situations;
- One of the most important crisis management steps that is often overlooked by leadership; and
- The important conversation to have with your legal team, prior to experiencing a viral issue or crisis.
