An Interdisciplinary Approach to Crises

Our database and analytics improve high-stakes decision-making

Marketing Scenario Analytica measures and monitors socio-economic risk by tracking crisis events, activism issues and other related, increasingly common business challenges. We’re seasoned communications, PR, risk management and data analysis professionals who turned our attention to tracking communications crisis situations when it became apparent that companies were encountering a new era of frequent and extreme activism. 

Since then we’ve monitored and tracked thousands of individual crisis events.  We’ve pioneered and developed crisis event classifications, covering socio-activism, corporate communication and branding miscues, workplace and workforce issues, and many more.  Our data has formed the basis for research efforts pursued by leading universities. By tracking and classifying communications risk events, we are helping companies avoid relying solely on gut instinct for how they now respond in high-stakes crisis situations.

With MSA, make better decisions after you “see what the data says.”
