Our Services
Here’s how we deal with scandals when they hit hard and fast. These aren’t fluffy “packages.” These are specific services designed to solve very real problems.
We’re not here to babysit reputations. We’re here to fix them, and we speak the language — legal risk, media handling, narrative reconstruction, and social audit.
Crisis PR And Media Defence
The moment your name hits a negative headline or trending topic, you’re in a race against time. We respond within hours, not weeks. We prepare reactive press statements, deflection narratives, and quote-ready material that can be handed to journalists.
We deploy holding statements, crisis comms frameworks, and reputation triage protocols that have already helped Canadian clients weather influencer scandals without long-term career damage. Our media watchlist and real-time monitoring keep us 3–5 hours ahead of traditional wire reports.
Reputation Rehabilitation Campaigns
When an influencer’s image is damaged, we execute multi-phase recovery strategies using earned media, strategic partnerships, influencer rehabilitation content, and targeted outreach to reframe public perception.
We use sentiment tracking tools, monitor click-through attribution across media coverage, and measure share of voice compared to competitors or brand-affiliated talent. We focus heavily on Google SERP correction and long-term name association management.
This isn’t just about news — it’s about search, sponsors, and staying employable.
Social Media Sanitisation And Precedent Mapping
Old tweets? Problematic posts? Threads that now look horrible in context? We perform forensic-level account audits, conduct archival sweeps, and implement platform-specific crisis clean-ups using tools like Xpire, Jumbo, and proprietary flagging scripts.
We also map precedents based on similar scandals within the Canadian influencer ecosystem (across fashion, wellness, crypto, and lifestyle sectors), helping prepare statements that are more likely to land well with media and followers.
Brand Relationship Management
We liaise directly with brands, sponsorship teams, agencies, and corporate PR departments on your behalf. When partners threaten to walk, we give them reason not to.
We’ve negotiated influencer-brand tensions for clients who had lost 70% of projected Q4 income before we stepped in. We helped close £120,000 in deals post-crisis by reframing the client’s value proposition and building trust with brand teams through carefully constructed press timelines.
Legal Coordination With Counsel
If your scandal has legal teeth, we coordinate with your solicitor. We’re not your lawyer,— but we align comms with litigation strategy to avoid self-incrimination or prejudicing a case. We’ve worked alongside firms across Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, and Calgary to help preserve legal standing while calming the media cycle.
We understand the defamation thresholds in Canadian libel law. We write accordingly. No guesswork.
Media Placement And Controlled Narratives
Once damage control is underway, we move to proactive placement. This includes syndicated content, sponsored interviews, controlled narratives through known outlets, and interviews with media that understand what to ask — and what not to.
We’ve placed our clients in Canadian publications like Toronto Life, Maclean’s, and The Star, as well as niche podcasts, Instagram Live features, and YouTube collaborations that help correct the message.
Search Engine Reputation Management (SERM)
What people see when they Google your name matters more than any apology video. We use search suppression strategies, Google News index manipulation, backlink recalibration, and content clustering to shift focus away from scandal-related results.
On average, within 3–5 weeks, we’ve moved damaging articles off page one for 70% of influencer clients we’ve worked with. We maintain pressure through content refreshes and article velocity pacing.
Whisper Campaigns And Controlled Public Sentiment Loops
When silence is more effective than statements, we coordinate whisper campaigns. These are third-party-led social shifts that gently reframe your narrative without your fingerprints on them. We enlist media freelancers, thought leaders, and creators in your space to start seeding new sentiment, without it being obvious.
This works best when the client is rebuilding and not ready to face questions directly. It buys time. It cools down tension. It resets the story.
