Timing
Start: ASAP
Duration: ~1 week
Deliverable: client-ready deck by next Friday

Day rate highly competitive

I’m looking for a senior freelance strategist (ASD / Director level) with strong crisis / issues management experience to support the MD on a short project for a major regulated-sector organisation.

We’re developing a crisis communications protocol and strategic framework, building on existing risk scenarios and Q&A, and need someone who can help shape the overall approach and translate it into a clear client-ready deck.

This isn’t just a PR response plan — we’re looking for someone who understands how crisis management works across integrated campaigns, including the role of advertising alongside earned and owned channels.

The work will likely cover:
• escalation and governance frameworks
• real-time monitoring and intelligence processes
• integrated response planning across channels
• how live campaigns should adapt in a crisis context

We’ll be working alongside an advertising partner who can input on channel specifics — the role is really about structuring the strategy and making the framework clear and usable.

If this sounds like you, or you can recommend someone great, please DM me.
