First Concern with Zombies
• Where are they?
![Page 16: Social Media Crises & Zombies](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051012/54469aebafaf9f61178b46ec/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

• New Tools (analysis)• New Risks• New Challenges for Preventative Action
![Page 17: Social Media Crises & Zombies](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051012/54469aebafaf9f61178b46ec/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Social Media as Risk
• Actions of others• Your mistakes
![Page 18: Social Media Crises & Zombies](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051012/54469aebafaf9f61178b46ec/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Paracrisis
• Crisis threat that is “managed” in public view, looks like a crisis– Respond or not– How you respond
![Page 19: Social Media Crises & Zombies](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051012/54469aebafaf9f61178b46ec/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Intended Effects
• Reduce– Reputational damage– Anger & Anxiety
• Preserve purchase intention• Minimize media coverage– Amount & Duration
• Promote acceptance of crisis message• Protect public safety (minority)

Why the concern?

media)– Financial loss

Like Zombies
• New view– Magic to Virus– Operational to Reputational
• Do not manage like a zombie– Lack strategy– Ignore social media
