Crises come up quickly and unexpectedly and Public Relations need to react quickly to limit any damage to the company's brand or reputation. Omnicom Group's clients need Public Relations experts who are prepared for these type of situations.
Include in your response a specific example of a crisis situation you handled and explain how you went about managing the situation, particularly as it relates to communications. If you have not had experience in this area of Public Relations, talk about what you think would be important to consider when handling crisis communications for Omnicom Group's clients.

"Although crisis situations have not occurred frequently at companies I have worked at, there have been a couple of situations where my team had to react quickly to unexpected crises. In one particular situation, an undetected error at one of our manufacturing facilities caused our products to be shipped and sold with a safety issue. This required us to work with Operations to correct the manufacturing issue while coordinating communications to customers and our retail outlets. What I have learned from these situations is that teamwork and coordination with other departments is key to dealing with the issue. It was also helpful to have a protocol in place so that we knew what steps needed to be taken to deal with the situation efficiently and effectively."
