In this week’s Quick Fire Friday episode, Michael interviews Keryn Nylander, a Strategic Communications, Media, Brand, and Public Relations Specialist, and Principal of Nylander Consulting. She’s based in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. Keryn is a former journalist that covered print and electronic media until she decided to transfer to the field of public relations. Now she has a consultancy firm that aids her clients’ public relations.
A business has three vital parts: advertising, marketing, and public relations. Like the other two, public relations is essential in a business and shouldn’t be treated as the lesser of the two. Keryn specializes in that field, giving strategic communications to small-medium business owners, refining their Social License, and preparing businesses to withstand any drama when the chips are down.
According to Keryn, what she’d recommend small-medium business owners do on Monday is, “You should have a crisis comms plan; what are you going to do? If something doesn't go right?” a risk management strategy to maintain the excellent reputation of your brand.
