Rapid Response

TL;DR: An always-on capability to act on breaking news within hours, not days.

What is Rapid Response?

Rapid response is an always-on PR capability to act on breaking news within hours rather than days — surfacing the right executive, drafting commentary, contacting reporters, and securing inclusion in stories already in production. Dramatically more effective with AI-assisted monitoring. Crackle PR runs rapid-response monitoring with AI-assisted news scanning and pre-briefed executive commentary tracks — the difference between hours and days is often the difference between being quoted in the story and reading it.
