Bankruptcy Public Relations Help

Crisis, Reputation & Stakeholder Communications

Strategic PR for companies navigating Chapter 11, restructuring, creditor negotiations, or insolvency — safeguard your reputation, stabilize stakeholder confidence, and position for a successful exit or turnaround.

Why Specialized PR Matters in Bankruptcy

When your company faces financial distress, every message matters. Traditional PR agencies may not understand the heightened scrutiny of bankruptcy, creditor boards, regulatory filing obligations, investor communications, and media narratives around insolvency.

At Red Banyan, we specialize in bankruptcy‑stage communications, helping you:

  • Clarify complex restructuring developments in plain language
  • Protect your board, stakeholders and transaction partners from reputational fallout
  • Lead the narrative on leverage, creditor outcomes and business continuity
  • Anticipate media, investor and regulator questions before they become crises
