Protect Client Reputations
Without the War-Room Chaos.
Stop losing 25+ hours a week manually scraping Twitter/X sentiment spikes, compiling messy media dossiers, logging urgent journalist calls, and formatting holding statements during live incidents. From Brandwatch, Meltwater, and Cision media monitoring to war-room briefing decks, dark-site CMS staging, stakeholder notification trees, and retainer invoicing. Supervised by a Dedicated Project Manager at $0 extra charge.
Dedicated Project Manager Model
Crisis management consultants earn premium retainers for real-time strategic counsel, board advising, and high-stakes media handling—not transcribing broadcast interviews, verifying journalist emails, or logging media calls at 2 AM. You coordinate with one dedicated project lead who enforces strict rapid-response SOPs.
- 24/7 Media & Social Listening Feeds: Tracking brand mentions, sentiment spikes, and viral hashtags across Brandwatch, Meltwater, and Talkwalker.
- Press Inquiry Logs & Reporter Backgrounding: Logging incoming journalist inquiries, verifying publication deadlines, and extracting reporter coverage history.
- Holding Statement Staging & Dark Sites: Formatting reactive holding lines, Q&A talking points, and staging emergency press release drafts in WordPress or Webflow.
- $0 Fee for Supervision: 100% of your invoice goes strictly to actual productive crisis response support and advisory hours worked.
Software & Monitoring Platforms Our Crisis VAs Operate Daily
Zero training lag. Our managed assistants plug directly into your media monitoring feeds, intelligence suites, secure communication vaults, and incident command boards.

"When a high-profile corporate product recall erupted on a Friday evening, our SageDoer assistant had boolean listening streams active in Meltwater within 20 minutes. They logged 65 journalist inquiries and kept our press log flawless throughout the weekend. We couldn't have managed the surge without them."
"Our dedicated PM set up standard operating procedures for post-incident debrief reports and media audit books. Within 24 hours of resolving a corporate governance crisis, our client received a comprehensive 40-page sentiment recovery report in Pitch. It solidified our seven-figure annual advisory retainer."
"We handle emergency litigation communications. Having an assistant who understands Muck Rack reporter dossiers and doesn't get overwhelmed by aggressive media outreach is invaluable. Our media inquiry response SLA went from hours to under 10 minutes."
