INTERVIEW
In each episode, I interview a public sector marketing pro that is stepping up to the challenges facing their organisations in the Digital Age.
This episode’s public sector marketing pro is Alex Aiken who is the Executive Director of Communications with the UK Government.
Alex recalls a recent PR crisis and a decision to put the Prime Minister Theresa May on YouTube Live to fight fake news.
The Executive Director of Government Communication is responsible for government communication strategy, managing the combined Prime Minister’s Office and Cabinet Office communications team and serves as Head of Profession for the Government Communication Service.
Alex was appointed in December 2012 and has been responsible for creating the Government Communication Service and developing cross-government campaigns.
In this interview, Alex shares insights on digital communications for UK Government communications, the role is plays in crisis management and he is also very forthright on the role social media plays in defending the truth.

JSB’s Live Coaching Column
In JSB’s Live Coaching Column this month, I share a question I got from a Government agency who were facing a social media storm. They were in the midst of it and so I decided to pen this column.
So, the big question is:
How can we be more prepared for what we cannot predict?
So, the big question is: How can we be more prepared for what we cannot predict? #publicsectormarketingprosClick To TweetJSB Response:
I have been on all sides of a PR crisis throughout my 18-year communications career. From reporting them as broadcast journalist, shielding my clients as a PR practitioner and now preventing them in the digital age.
Those crises have come in many guises and across all media formats. Trust me, the landscape has changed dramatically in the space of 10 years.
The disruption of news and media, a shift in consumer behaviour led by the smartphone revolution, combined with the dynamic of real-time information flows, provides new challenges for PR professionals working in Government and in the public sector.
The role of traditional PR manager has evolved into a digital media specialist. However, the core skills of communications professionals have never been more important. The explosion of content online and the introduction of the citizen journalist voice has muddied the waters of news like never before.
We need expert Government officials to produce content that makes clear fact in the face of an Internet full of opinion and fake news.
To highlight the value of a traditional skillset and how those competencies can be adapted in the age of social media, I am sharing my own formula of how to put out a fire on a PR nightmare which ignites on social media.
PR crisis prevention is better than disaster management cure
It’s inevitable that any PR crisis will escalate on social media. It doesn’t matter whether you believe the opinions of keyboard warriors are worthy or not. The bottom line is, trust is the currency of public interest messaging.
News desks are watching social media and taking the public temperature of topics on Facebook and Twitter. This influencing editorial decisions and so you should care about what’s being said on social media.
Social media, community and digital marketing managers don’t always come with a PR or journalistic background so it’s important your management team meet to discuss the potential for any PR crisis on your social networks.
Being prepared for a digital PR crisis will help mitigate the damage to brand trust and it should be prioritized as much as any other function in your organisation.
From cyber-attacks to terrorism, economic crashes and political turmoil, external factors are beyond your control, however, how you react, can give you some of that control back.
Internally, you should be able to define what possible threats pose damage to your organisation and having a plan to deal with each gives you a head-start in any crisis, from announcing job losses, to white collar crime, workplace accidents, technology failures or cyberbullying.
“When the chips are down you need to rise up.” JSB
