TV fixers make it look glamorous: quick decisions, confident monologues, and suspense that always wraps up neatly before the credits roll.. But when a real crisis hits your brand, business, or reputation, there’s no audience, no pause button, and no guaranteed ending.
At Red Banyan, we’re not playing characters. We’re a crisis management firm that addresses real reputational threats with the same urgency and strategy you’d expect from Hollywood’s most famous fixers. We don’t walk red carpets or deliver dramatic speeches, but we solve high-pressure problems with precision and speed.
We often operate behind the scenes, quietly resolving high-stakes issues before they explode. From legal threats to viral scandals, we move fast, stay sharp, and shut problems down before they blow up.
Fixers On-Screen vs. Fixers in Real Life
On Scandal, Olivia Pope leads a crisis team that defends powerful figures from scandal, legal fallout, and public scrutiny. She’s a reputation management expert disguised as a political insider. On Ray Donovan, the title character protects celebrities and executives by making problems disappear, quietly, often forcefully, and always off the record.
In pop culture terms, these fixers have become shorthand for high-stakes crisis response. In real life, they reflect something more crucial: the growing recognition that reputation is an asset, and when it’s under attack, you need professionals who know exactly how to protect it.
What Red Banyan Actually Does
As a strategic communications agency, we specialize in situations where speed, accuracy, and discretion are non-negotiable. Our crisis PR consultants provide:
- Crisis management for negative media coverage, online backlash, and other types of crises
- Message development and rapid response under public scrutiny
- Long-term brand and reputation rebuilding
- Litigation PR and strategic media relations for attorneys, law firms, and individuals involved in litigation
- Crisis prevention services for businesses and non-profits
- Media training for celebrities, high-profile individuals, and organizations
We’re the PR crisis response team trusted to deliver when there’s no margin for error.
Real-World Results
From tabloid-fueled allegations that threaten careers, to viral accusations that spread before the facts are clear, to cancel culture fallouts that put life-long reputations at risk, Red Banyan has experience managing crisis communications of all kinds.
When a crisis hits, we act fast. We figure out what the legal team needs, what the media will ask, and what the public is likely to assume. Then we shape the story before anyone else does. These aren’t case studies; they’re real reputations, real headlines, and real pressure. And we deliver.
Why You Need a Real-Life Fixer—Not a Scripted One
On television, the fixer arrives just in time with a dramatic solution. In reality, waiting that long can make the damage worse. Reputational harm moves fast, and recovery takes more than just luck. It takes strategy, timing, and experience. Engaging a crisis PR consultant early gives you more control over the narrative, more options, and a better shot at protecting what matters.
The right public relations firm doesn’t wait for problems to erupt; it builds the defenses that keep crises from ever taking hold.
Why Red Banyan Is Different

We’re trusted by attorneys, public figures, global brands, and executives because we don’t just understand reputational risk. We know how to neutralize it, reshape it, and rebuild stronger than before.
