Expert Crisis and Reputation Management
A crisis can have a profound impact on your business or personal reputation. Telamon Consulting specialises in crisis communication and media management services to help you navigate crises and emerge stronger on the other side. We have guided and supported management teams and individuals through hundreds of live crisis scenarios, including workplace accidents and fatalities, product recalls, cyber-attacks, natural disasters, court proceedings and of course, COVID-19.
Our approach is to work closely with you to develop and implement effective crisis communication strategies that seamlessly integrate with your operational and business recovery responses to protect your reputation.
Strategic Communication Services
Timely and effective stakeholder communication can make or break a business. Whether you are announcing an executive appointment, negotiating a new enterprise agreement, expanding or reducing your services, or revising your org chart, you will be judged by how often, how honestly and how well you engage with your key stakeholders, both internal and external.
Our experts will work with you to develop a strategic communication plan that is tailored to each audience you need to address, in the order you need to address them. We understand that every business is unique, which is why we take a customised approach to developing targeted messages that align with your commercial and cultural objectives, and improve your stakeholder relationships.
Government and regulatory affairs
We know that dealing with government and a multitude of supporting agencies and authorities can be a confusing and sometimes daunting experience. We also now that finding the right person, program or pathway for your business or organisation can be frustrating and time-consuming.
Every member of our team has extensive experience working in or with political offices, large bureaucracies and regulatory agencies. We harness that experience and insight to advise businesses and organisations on who to speak to, what to say, and when and how to engage effectively.
Deep Experience Across Multiple Sectors
Telamon Consulting's team is equally at home on a building site or a solar farm as we are in a boardroom. We have a proven track record of success for clients across a broad range of sectors including healthcare, property development and construction, resources and energy, sustainability, aged care, hospitality, gaming, banking and finance, professional sport and NFPs.
We have helped organisations of all sizes shape public affairs outcomes, win new business and manage crises and complex issues.
