When a crisis hits, communications professionals are called to help ensure that their key stakeholders – whether it’s residents, customers, employees – are well informed about what’s happening. Beyond simply providing information, communications during a crisis can also play a role in bringing people together and uniting communities. At the City of London, the Strategic Communications team has worked through emergencies that include everything from the explosion on Woodman Avenue and the collapse of the building on Teeple Terrace to the horrific terrorist attack on the Afzaal family, where they worked in collaboration with partner agencies to communicate about these unthinkable events.

Join us on January 26, 2022 at 5:00 p.m. for Building Connections through Crisis, where we will hear from Patti McKague, Director, Strategic Communications and Government Relations at the City of London and winner of the 2021 IABC London Outstanding Communicator Award. She’ll talk about how her team supported some of the most difficult events in London over the past few years, and about the way that the team, in partnership with other public sector agencies, was ready to respond.
