How fast can your team respond once I contact you?

We respond immediately on WhatsApp and begin the assessment on the first call. The full crisis protocol is in motion inside the first hour.

Is my situation kept fully confidential, even during intake?

Yes. Intake is handled in a private, confidential channel. Only the core crisis team sees the information, and we do not involve third parties without your approval.

How do you work with my existing legal counsel during a crisis?

We operate in full alignment with your lawyers. Every public statement, internal communication, and strategic move is coordinated to protect your legal position.

What happens if the crisis is already going viral before I reach out?

We stabilise the situation first, then redirect the narrative. Even fast-moving incidents can be slowed, reframed, or neutralised when handled with discipline.

Do you handle both online attacks and traditional media?

Yes. We cover social platforms, digital publications, mainstream press, influencers, and search visibility. All channels are managed in a single coordinated strategy.

Can you remove or suppress negative content once it spreads?

In many cases, yes. When removal isn't possible, we suppress, counterbalance, and overshadow the content through strategic media placements and SEO control.

What level of direct involvement does Sheeraz Hasan provide?

Sheeraz leads the strategy personally. He oversees narrative direction, media positioning, and key decisions throughout the crisis.

Do you take on every client or is there a vetting process?

We vet all cases. FAME 9-1-1 accepts only situations where we can create a real strategic impact and maintain the level of discretion required.

What if my case involves sensitive personal issues or legal exposure?

We handle highly sensitive cases regularly. Our process is built to protect privacy, coordinate with legal counsel, and manage the situation without unnecessary visibility.

How do you protect my family or company from future incidents?

After containment, we create a forward strategy: narrative repositioning, media restructuring, digital hygiene, and protocols that reduce future risk.

Can you coordinate with security teams if there is a physical threat?

Yes. For cases involving physical threats, we coordinate with professional security teams. Containment extends beyond media when personal safety is at stake.

Glossary · The First Hour

The First Hour

The first 60 minutes after a crisis breaks publicly — the most leveraged window in any reputation defence.

Full Definition

In modern crisis work, the first hour is when more reputational damage can be prevented than in the next seven days combined. Inside that window, the story is malleable: the narrative hasn't yet calcified, the press hasn't yet committed to a framing, and the social-media cycle hasn't yet hit saturation. What happens in the first hour: facts are verified (or quickly corrected if wrong), the legal team is on the line, friendly editors are alerted, the subject is briefed on what to do in the next four hours, the platform's policy team is contacted (if a takedown is possible), and a holding statement is prepared. Practically, the first-hour window is why FAME 911 maintains an always-on intake channel — by the time a typical agency would have signed an NDA, the cycle is past saturation.

In practice

Within 47 minutes of a video going viral, the strategist has spoken with the principal, the lawyer, the affected platform's escalation contact, and the journalist preparing the lead story — and a unified response is being drafted.
A leak is intercepted in the first hour by negotiating with the publisher to delay 24 hours in exchange for exclusive context; the delay is used to prepare a counter-narrative.
