Case Studies

Our Success Stories...
Where are the logos? Were you expecting to see a long list of Fortune 500 logos, with some pap about “We’re privileged to work with the greatest companies on earth?” We don’t broadcast our client names. Our best success stories are stories you’ll never read about. Ask yourself – would you really trust a ‘crisis’ company if you knew they were going to be telling your confidential story on their website?

Working with Iconic Venues...

We have created training programs for some of the biggest arenas, stadiums and convention centres across North America, Europe, Australia and Asia.
Our “Building Credibility” program was the highest ranked crisis communication training program in client history. It has been delivered to 17 arenas, 6 convention centres and 3 stadiums – hosting 22 professional sports teams.

... In Some Great Places

We’ve been privileged to work in 6 continents (no projects in Antarctica, yet!). We’ve helped tour operators in Bali… specialty aviation companies in the Serengeti… a theme park in Pennsylvania… and cruise companies in the Amazon.
​ One hotel/tour operator in Quito, Ecuador was facing an existential threat when Cotapaxi erupted. Rather than hide, we helped them honestly reframe their story.

Their business INCREASED, despite the volcano risk. We call that 'falling up.'

Tackling Scary Stories...

Whether it’s a natural disaster…
– a product recall
– a boil water advisory
– a senior executive facing jail time
– a death at your facility…

... we've been there. We know what it's like, and we know what to do next.

...to Build Trust, Credibility... and Profitability.

We tell the story in the best-selling book “Leaders Under Fire” about Nigel.  

Nigel suffered a fatal accident at his specialty airline company in Africa.  We were on the next flight to Tanzania, but by the time we landed, it was dire.  Most of their customers had cancelled.  Facing incredible odds, we got to work.

Long story short: A year later, business for Nigel was up over 28 percent.

Jeff Chatterton talks managing crises in tourism & hospitality on BV-TV

https://www.bizvision.co.uk/series/bvtv-business-of-hospitality/ BV-TV Business of Hospitality Channel host Malcolm Gallagher says; Of the sectors hurt the most from the pandemic, Travel Tourism & Hospitality has certainly born the brunt of the impact and is likely to continue to do so for many years to come. As someone who has worked in those businesses for 50 years, I know how they are reeling, working hard to recover, and under pressure. But they are also emotional businesses where the media loves a negative story. So I have asked back my guest for today, a true cross communications management expert in those great sectors. He knows about crisis pressure, he’s written the book about it Leaders Under Fire: The CEO’s Survival Guide to Navigating Corporate Crisis.” From CheckMate Public Affairs lets go say hello again to Jeff Chatterton. My Business of Travel, Tourism & Hospitality talk with Jeff will be in 3 parts –First I’ll ask him his advice on avoiding creating crisis during recovery. In part 2 I’ll ask him about emerging crisis trends and in part 3 we’ll focus on hotels and talk about reputation management at a time of crisis.
