Crisis communication in Albania.
Gledis Bozo advises organisations in Albania on crisis communication: preparing before an incident, responding in the first hours and rebuilding trust afterwards. The approach draws on running a national newsroom, managing reputation for a US law firm and more than 15 years of campaigns for institutions, banks and telecom brands.

- Social media response
- Internal communication, so staff do not learn from the news

After: recovery
- Reputation assessment
- Narrative repair
- Process fixes so the same crisis does not repeat

Why the Albanian context matters
Albanian news cycles are fast and portal-driven: a social post can reach national television within hours. A response has to account for how local outlets, portals and social pages pick up and amplify a story, and it has to work in Albanian, not only in the language of the head office.
Questions
- Can you help if the crisis has already started?
- Yes. The first step is a rapid assessment of what is already public, who is affected and what must be said first.
- Do you act as spokesperson?
- The role is to advise leadership, draft communication and prepare spokespeople. The organisation's voice stays its own.
- Do you work with international companies facing an issue in Albania?
- Yes. The most common need is bridging head-office communication and the local media reality, in both English and Albanian.
