When a business in Paris goes quiet on social media, journalists start sniffing. When a press leak hits the wires before the boardroom even finishes its meeting, damage is already done. You’re not here because everything’s calm. You’re here because something’s shaky—or you know it could be.
Whether you’re dealing with a full-blown scandal, a simmering internal issue, or the threat of something ugly bubbling to the surface, you don’t need fluff. You need results.
Pearl Lemon PR works with companies operating in high-pressure environments, under heavy public scrutiny, across corporate, governmental, and media-facing roles. If you’re managing reputation risk in Paris or across France, and you can’t afford to get it wrong, we’re your agency.
Schedule a consultation today. Let’s stop the problem before it becomes permanent.
Our services are designed for Paris-based businesses, NGOs, and executives who understand how fast a reputation can turn. Each service is handled by specialists with frontline experience in crisis prevention, media intervention, and operational recovery.
When a senior figure is accused, misquoted, or blindsided by old content resurfacing, it hits harder in France’s tight-knit business and media circles. Our team builds executive comms plans to immediately shape public perception. We use sentiment analysis, past coverage review, and pre-approved messaging frameworks to respond within the first hour.
We work directly with your legal and HR departments to ensure consistency between public and internal messaging. No emotional overreactions. No leaks. Just hard control over the narrative.
An online backlash in Paris spreads like wildfire, especially when it involves French influencers or activist networks. Our digital unit uses social media listening tools, automated sentiment dashboards, and threat detection protocols to handle it at the speed of Twitter (X).
We deploy forensic analysis to trace the origin of the crisis, isolate source accounts, and re-establish your presence. Using high-authority content publishing and verified digital channels, we drown out negative mentions and rebalance your SERP footprint.
When Le Monde calls, you need answers before they start asking. We maintain ongoing relationships with journalists across the French national and local media. That means we don’t send out panic press releases—we attract pre-warmed contacts and use off-the-record discussions to buy time and steer the tone.
Our media protocols include pre-scripted replies, designated spokesperson briefings, and pre-agreed interview control mechanisms. We prevent misquotes, stop speculation, and reframe the story without fuelling it.
When your staff are left out of the loop, they become your loudest risk. We create crisis-phase internal communication workflows aligned with your existing HR and compliance structure. That includes workforce-wide announcements, segmented messaging (execs, frontline, contractors), and confidential Q&A systems.
We also offer crisis training refreshers, because in France, strong unions and labour laws mean one misstep with internal messaging can open new fronts in your crisis. We keep that door shut.
France’s regulatory frameworks—CNIL, RGPD, DREAL, and more—are not just compliance boxes. Mishandling a public regulatory issue can bring massive fines and permanent reputational scars.
We manage communications around regulatory penalties, whistleblower reports, GDPR breaches, and state investigations. Our plans include cross-checking with legal counsel to make sure nothing you say triggers liability, and nothing you stay silent on creates media suspicion.
When public trust is damaged—due to environmental concerns, labour disputes, or consumer outrage—your licence to operate is at risk, especially in highly conscious regions like Île-de-France. We build what we call “social closure” frameworks.
This involves third-party validations, stakeholder meetings, local community outreach, and cooperation with local élus (elected officials) to re-establish goodwill. Not with performative PR, but with practical plans that the public can see, track, and believe.
Most companies think they’re ready for a crisis because they’ve got a file somewhere with “comms” written on it. That file won’t help you when a journalist is waiting on a quote within 15 minutes.
Our crisis readiness audits benchmark your actual response capability across leadership roles, data access, legal positioning, media protocols, and digital channels. Then we create scenario-specific playbooks, contact hierarchies, and holding statements that get used when it counts.
Once the noise dies down, the damage lingers. Stakeholders remember. Journalists watch. Clients wonder.
We run post-crisis audits, rebuild your press relationships, clean up search engine footprints, and re-establish your name on terms that benefit you. Using French-language SEO remediation, sentiment-reset campaigns, and authority content placement, we move your online presence from reactive to proactive.
And we don’t stop until your search results look better than they did before the crisis.
Book a call now. The worst time to fix a crisis is during it. The second-worst is after. We’re here for both.
We’re not tourists in Paris. We understand its business culture, its media tone, and its public pressure. Our work sits at the junction of local knowledge and hard-wired crisis protocol. Whether you’re dealing with a board-level scandal or a local factory dispute, our team meets you where the problem is—and handles it without fuss.
We speak the language—literally and professionally. We know the regulations, the press cycles, and the public sentiment indicators. And we’re not scared to tell you the truth before it gets worse.
Media crisis control focuses on traditional press (print, broadcast, national journalists) while digital response handles fast-moving online crises like social media attacks, influencer backlash, or viral disinformation. Both require distinct protocols.
Yes. Our team is bilingual and experienced in managing crises for international companies based in France. Messaging tone and compliance vary by language, so we adapt all communications accordingly.
Our response window starts within 30–60 minutes of interaction, depending on access to client stakeholders and required approvals. Pre-crisis clients receive immediate execution due to pre-approved plans.
We assess existing plans, leadership protocols, stakeholder maps, messaging libraries, digital presence, and legal alignment. This is followed by a set of actionable fixes and live scenario training.
Yes. We coordinate with in-house counsel or retained law firms to align messaging with legal strategy, especially where liability, ongoing litigation, or regulatory reviews are active.
If you’re already in a mess, you need the right hands on it. If you’re not—but you know you could be—this is your warning shot.
Book a call today. The first step is simple. After that, we do the heavy lifting.
