This special edition podcast outlines our strategy for the next 30 days and beyond, as the Nightclub & Bar Show will rally all of its experts and resources to do everything we can to help your business survive this difficult period – and then thrive upon reopening. 

The nation and our industry are experiencing unprecedented conditions, and no one has experience managing a situation like this. We will work with our collection of experts in labor, operations, law, insurance, cash flow management, cost reduction and anything else critical to business operations. Look for a series of short podcasts and guides that contain actionable information that you can implement immediately.

Today's guests are Sarah Jenkins, owner of White Oak Communications and Brittany Keohi, their Director of Experiential Marketing. Today, we discuss how bars and restaurants know when its time to hire a PR/communications company, the best way to ensure a successful agency relationship, and their take on the potential looming coronavirus outbreak on the hospitality business. You can learn even more from those two dynamic and intelligent digital mavens in their session at NCB called 'A 360 Approach on Building Your Brand".

Todd Collins is the Chief Operating Officer of Restaurant Reputations, a company that assists bar and restaurant owners with managing their brand's reputation online.

 We cover why your brand’s reputation is so important and how potential guests perceive you before even stepping foot into your establishment. With many guests turning to social platforms to make their decisions, it's important to know what others are saying about your business, positive or negative.
