Shield of Athena – Crisis Management

After the Shields only service van was stolen – we work on a traditional and social media crisis management plan (press releases, talking points, social media postings) that not only helped the Shield get a new van but also increased awareness for the Shields Family Services and various projects including their women and children’s (victims of domestic abuse) shelter and their second stage shelter.
