DC Politicians Have CommCore on Speed-Dial, But It’s More About Prevention

Business Insider listed CommCore among the “best crisis experts politicians call to manage scandals and crush bad press reports,” but CEO Andy Gilman believes it’s more about prevention than the cure.

“In politics, even the whiff of a scandal can prove ruinous, prompting party leaders to unceremoniously cut ties with undesirables, campaign contributors to hide their checkbooks, and jittery staff to rush for the exits,” says Business Insider in their August article. “In business, losing credibility can tank the market and trigger congressional investigations.”

CommCore is a top crisis communications firm relied upon by C-level executives for crisis communications planning and reputation management services beforeduring, and after a crisis. We believe crisis communications planning is an investment, not an expense.

Gilman told Insider he doesn’t see himself as a “fix-it guy.”

“My philosophy is that crisis communications experts are generally not fix-it people,” he said. “They are people that bring experience, knowledge, and perspective that help the organization or client come
up with a better solution.”

CommCore’s experience includes:

  • COVID-19 employee communication counsel
  • Cyber-attack/Data Breach Crisis communications
  • Tylenol/Johnson & Johnson crisis media training
  • SARS risk communications
  • Columbia and Challenger space shuttle accidents
  • Congressional investigations
  • Plant closings
  • Class action litigation
  • Product recalls
  • Ethics issues
  • “#MeToo”
