Digital PR Agency for SMEs: Crisis Management & Online Reputation

“The Problem: Reputation Fragility

One viral crisis can destroy years of trust. Most businesses are vulnerable because:

Negative reviews spread 5x faster than positive ones.

Slow crisis responses amplify brand damage.

Media relationships are transactional, not strategic. A  single crisis can be catastrophic, making proactive reputation management essential.

A single misstep can spark a digital wildfire. Proactive reputation defense is no longer optional. It’s survival.

Digital PR is an online marketing strategy whose goal is to build your business’s visibility and the reputation of your website, content, product/service and the individual behind it. It’s also called online public relations.

What is the difference between traditional PR and digital PR?

Traditional PR is all about raising awareness about your brand/product/service via channels such as print media, TV and radio. 

Digital PR zeroes in on reputation management, creating helpful content, developing media relationships, pitching newsworthy stories (research studies) to journalists, and making expert commentary on selected sites. 

It achieves this through relevant blogs, industry sites, social media, newsjacking, online press release, and podcasts.
