On the premier episode of “It’s a Disaster”, Crisis PR expert Dan Parsons and investigative journalist Matt Wynn break down what happens when a group of tech workers board a delayed flight after an extended happy hour during a world-wide pandemic.
Background – I’ve had more PR crisis clients in the past 2 years than I’ve had in the past 20 combined.
I’ve spent three decades helping solve some of the most challenging — and sometimes bizarre — communications problems you could imagine. Most crisis communications clients tend to call us at least 24-hours too late.
