When to respond, when to hold, and how to choose the right voice.
Crisis Communications Decision Tree is part of MarComm Hub's Guides collection — practical, format-light artefacts that integrated marketing teams can adapt into their own working documents. Each resource is editorial, not commercial: there is no gated download, no lead capture, and no vendor sponsorship behind any of these pieces.
Who this is for
This resource is written for in-house marketing leaders, agency strategists, and procurement teams who need a defensible point of view fast. It is deliberately opinionated; readers should treat it as a starting structure to argue with, not a finished answer.
How to use it
Read the framing carefully before reaching for the worksheet. The most common failure mode with this kind of artefact is using the structure without reading the rationale — the structure works because of the assumptions baked into it.
What's inside
- An overview of the problem the resource is designed to address.
- A working frame teams can apply within a single planning cycle.
- Inputs, decision points, and outputs explicitly labelled.
- Recommendations on what to escalate and when.
