A crisis is a defining moment for a company. The way a company manages an adverse event—particularly in the current economic environment—can severely threaten or greatly enhance its operations, investor confidence, customer loyalty, employee morale, and community standing—in short, its reputation. Marsh Advisory helps clients protect and strengthen their reputations.

We have the experience and resources to allow you to turn adversity into opportunity. Our team will help develop, manage, and maintain a tailored reputational risk and crisis management program specific to your needs and circumstances.
Corporate reputation is best defined as the perception of a company in the minds of its stakeholders; those vital to the success of the business—employees, customers, partners, lenders, regulators, communities, and so on. It’s no wonder that reputation is commonly referred to as a company’s most valuable asset. Reputation is not simply about a balance sheet, service offerings, social responsibility, or even corporate communications, marketing, and public relations—reputation is all of these and more.The essential first step to managing reputation strategically is building an accurate picture of your strengths and weaknesses.
Reputation is at the heart of everything your organization does, and especially must be protected when faced with a crisis.
The best approach to protecting your company’s future is to implement an effective crisis management program before a crisis ever occurs. We can help you design a crisis management program that protects your company, its people, and its operations.
A crisis management program helps you prepare for, manage, and recover from issues and incidents that threaten your people, brand, valuation, customers, finances, or operations. It is a systematic approach designed to help you manage crises that arise from more traditional risks like regulatory inquiries, natural disasters, and litigation to other threats to your business such as product recall and NGO activism.
