@PRO_PR1 Just to clarify, it wasn't my intention to imply that women can't work. Having never seen it, I'd thought it was a film about a single father & so was surprised when that was not the case. I apologise, I could have worded my initial comment to say that better

@CommsChat She was a Suffragette. You know, busy getting votes for women. You should prob research your content before you post.

(I've never seen Mary Poppins before (sacrilege, I know) but I am baffled as to why there's a wife and a nanny). Not-quite- #commschat

G'night all #commschat

Check back for the post of the recap tomorrow morning #commschat

Alright that's the hour. Many thanks to Alastair from @alvareputation for the excellent topic tonight #commschat

We'll turn to @alvareputation for any final thoughts before the hour is up? #commschat

Final topic: What impact does the pandemic have on reputation? How can companies protect their reputations at this time? #commschat

@CommsChat I think some people are starting to crave different stories but brands will need to tread carefully when they making the decision on what to engage on or not. There was a convo earlier about April Fools and my gut would say to stay away from that #commschat

Topic 3: What topics or areas should brands not engage with during this time? #commschat

@PRO_PR1 No not like that. I was just under the impression that there was a Mr Banks, but no Mrs Banks. It's not a statement on working mums in 1910.

@CommsChat Your comment suggests that women who are married are not allowed to work? Even if they don’t have a job, why can’t they have a nanny?

@PRO_PR1 yes and I am being shamed for it! #commschat #poppinschat

@CommsChat Are you serious?

Alright, I think everyone is on 'home-mode' at the moment, rather than comms-mode. We're probably going to call it a night soon #commschat

@MattCartmell @CommsChat Yes anything that is too sharp, commercially focused or risks being seen as profiteering is risky – pharma companies in particular have to be very careful on how their vital research efforts are being positioned #commschat

@alvareputation And Brewdog! They're making hand sanitiser in the brewery #commschat

@CommsChat Good examples have been AstraZeneca making face masks, Dyson & Tesla ventilators and Mercedes breathing aids. Likewise, Pret’s free coffee and supermarkets’ dedicated shopping hours for NHS staff #commschat

Topic 2: How should they engage with the current sentiments around healthcare workers and public health? #commschat

(I'm told there are penguins) #commschat #poppinschat
