Frequently Asked Questions

How do you coordinate crisis communications with SEC disclosure requirements?
We work directly with your securities counsel to ensure all public statements comply with Regulation FD fair disclosure rules, material information requirements, and quiet period restrictions. Our financial communications team understands 8-K filing triggers and can help draft investor-facing language that is both legally compliant and reputationally protective.
Can you help prevent a bank run during a liquidity crisis?
Yes. We deploy multi-channel customer reassurance campaigns, coordinate with FDIC on public messaging, prepare branch staff with approved talking points, and manage social media narratives to counter speculation. Speed and transparency are critical to maintaining depositor confidence during liquidity events.
How do you handle insider trading or executive misconduct allegations?
We develop communications strategies that distance the institution from individual wrongdoing while demonstrating governance oversight. This includes board-level messaging, employee communications, regulatory cooperation narratives, and proactive media outreach about compliance improvements and leadership accountability.
Do you support cryptocurrency and digital asset companies?
Yes. We handle crisis communications for crypto exchanges, DeFi platforms, and digital asset companies facing regulatory actions, platform exploits, token delistings, and customer fund controversies. We understand the unique regulatory landscape including SEC, CFTC, and FinCEN enforcement priorities.
What is the typical cost of financial crisis PR services?
Financial services crisis retainers typically range from $15,000 to $35,000 monthly depending on institutional size and regulatory complexity. Active crisis response for major incidents like SEC investigations or bank failures is scoped as dedicated projects ranging from $50,000 to $250,000 depending on duration and intensity.
