Crisis communication

Effective crisis communication is all about speed, clarity and control of the situation. Every minute matters and every message shapes how your organisation is perceived. Our PR agency supports international and local clients with rapid crisis response in Poland. We protect your reputation, guide your team and keep communication consistent across all channels.

Why crisis communication matters so much in Poland?

Polish audiences react fast. A single unclear message can spark a media storm, spread quickly across digital platforms, and damage a brand’s reputation within hours. With 75% of Poles active on social media, stories travel fast. Misinformation spreads even faster.

Topics that brands should pay special attention to:

  • Religion – sensitive topics, symbols or language can easily provoke strong backlash.
  • Politics – associations with political parties or controversial issues are risky.
  • Money and wealth – campaigns targeting only the wealthiest or careless communication about finances often trigger negative reactions.
  • Consumer rights – any violation of law, especially related to product safety or customer rights, can quickly escalate.
  • Influencers and celebrities – working with controversial figures may backfire and damage trust.
  • Brand’s social media activity – unprofessional tone, jokes taken out of context, or poor moderation can spark immediate criticism.
  • Organisational change – mishandled layoffs, restructuring or internal disputes becoming public.
  • Alcohol and lifestyle topics – marketing linked to drinking, appearance, sex or gender roles is highly scrutinised.
  • LGBTQ+ issues – sensitive and polarising in Poland, requiring careful, respectful communication.

Journalists and media outlets expect immediate, consistent responses, and silence is often seen as an admission of guilt. That is why good crisis management here must be precise, trustworthy, and tailored to the local market. The right strategy protects company’s credibility, manages perception, and keeps your brand in control when it matters most.
