WHEN EVERY MOMENT MATTERS

Preparation Rooted in Relationships

Crisis planning demands a team that treats every issue as a unique challenge — not one solved by generic playbooks or off-the-shelf responses.

At Blue Highway Advisory, we believe that a trusted relationship with your crisis team before a crisis strikes is essential to success. We take the time to understand your organization’s voice, structure and decision-makers, ensuring that when the unexpected happens, your response is clear, confident and authentic.

THE FOUNDATION: CRISIS PLANNING & STRATEGIC COUNSEL

Our planning and advisory services include:

  • Media and spokesperson training

  • Scenario planning

  • Reputational risk assessment

  • Strategic counsel

  • Retainer relationships

  • Playbook audits (for pre-existing assets)*

  • BHA “Crisis Essentials” guide

We don’t sell playbooks. We build partnerships that prepare you for the real world.

*We gladly review existing materials as part of a crisis asset audit and provide our confidential Crisis Readiness Essentials framework.


But if you’re seeking high-cost, low-value "playbooks", we’re not your firm. Blue Highway doesn’t siphon retainers or waste time.

 

We prepare you for what truly matters.
