Now that we’ve spent the past week learning about and creating amazing brand searches, it’s time to take those skills to the next level. This week’s Objective is one we try to avoid, but is vital to the toolset of any communicator: Monitoring a Brand Crisis. Now, here is your Playbook with everything you need to achieve this goal:
Week 2 Objective
Your mission this week is to create an Advanced Search specifically to monitor the unfolding conversation around a crisis pertaining to the Summer Olympics brand. Using what you learned in this and last week’s training, as well as the resources below, create a “crisis” custom category to use as a filter on your search from last week.
Feel free to use the sample crisis provided in the workshop to build your custom category, or invent your own!
Once you’ve created your custom category, share your boolean in this thread for feedback so we can all work together and create the ultimate crisis monitoring filter!
Workshop
Thanks to everyone who attended yesterday’s workshops! Great news for those who didn’t - the recording of yesterday’s Americas timezone workshop is now available right here in the community:
The product workshop Monitoring a Brand Crisis is offered at two different times. Please register for the one that works best for your schedule*:
*If you are unable to attend either of these sessions, the recordings will be made available in mCommunity within 24 hours of the workshop.

Share your Custom Category Boolean for Points
Once you’ve created your crisis custom category, share your boolean in this thread for feedback, so we can all work together and create the perfect crisis monitoring search! Please copy and paste your boolean string into a comment on this post, along with any tips, tricks, or feedback about this week’s exercise.
Pro tip: You’ll earn points for both submitting your Boolean string as well as for giving feedback on others’ posts in this thread!
Just like last week, there is no bonus for “winning” this week’s challenge. We all win when we learn together and create the best possible search. Not only will sharing and critiquing in this thread score you points now, it will benefit you down the line when it’s time to create your report at the end of the Games - not to mention that it will improve all of our skillsets when it comes to crisis and risk awareness, monitoring, and management
Last week was amazing - let’s take that electric energy and channel it into the next round of this Boolean Bonanza! And don’t forget to share your Crisis custom category in the comments
