Prompt of the Week 🧠
Crisis Communication Draft → Write a professional response to any PR problem in under 10 minutes
When something goes wrong → a bad review goes viral, a product ships broken, a team member makes a public mistake → most businesses freeze or overcorrect. This prompt turns any messy situation into a clear, calm, and credible public response before it spirals.
Prompt:
You are a seasoned crisis communications advisor with 20+ years of experience helping businesses navigate public relations challenges. I need your help drafting a professional response to a situation my business is facing. Here is the situation: [DESCRIBE THE SITUATION IN 2-4 SENTENCES — what happened, when, and who is affected] My business context: — Business type: [e.g. SaaS startup, e-commerce brand, service agency, etc.] — Audience/stakeholders seeing this: [e.g. customers, investors, employees, general public, social media followers] — Where this response will be published: [e.g. email to customers, public tweet/X post, LinkedIn statement, website blog, press release] — My brand tone: [e.g. formal and professional / warm and human / direct and no-nonsense] My goals for this response: — Acknowledge the issue without over-apologizing or admitting liability where inappropriate — Show what we're doing to fix it or what we've already done — Rebuild trust without sounding defensive or robotic Please draft: 1. A SHORT version (2-3 sentences) for social media or an initial acknowledgment post 2. A FULL version (3-5 paragraphs) for email or a public statement 3. A brief internal message (2-3 sentences) I can send to my team so they know how to respond if customers ask After each draft, give me one sentence explaining your key communication decision — what you prioritized and why. Flag anything I should AVOID saying in this situation (legal exposure, phrases that tend to backfire, etc.).
Where to use it: Use this in ChatGPT or Claude the moment a situation surfaces – before you post anything public.
