What We Handle

Crisis Scenarios We Manage

Viral Negative Press

When a damaging news story goes viral, we activate suppression strategies, engage with editors, and flood search results with positive counter-narratives.

Social Media Scandals

We manage the fallout from social media crises, coordinating responses across platforms while suppressing harmful content from search results.

Data Breaches & Leaks

When private information is exposed, we work to remove the leaked content, suppress search visibility, and manage stakeholder communications.

Executive Misconduct Allegations

We protect executives and their organisations from the reputational fallout of misconduct allegations, whether founded or unfounded.

Competitor Attacks

Targeted smear campaigns by competitors require a strategic response combining legal action, content removal, and positive content generation.

Review Bombing

When your business is hit with a coordinated wave of fake negative reviews, we work to remove them and restore your ratings.
