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.

Rapid Response

Crisis-management work executed inside the first hour of an incident — when the public narrative is most malleable.

Full Definition

Rapid response is the operational mode of the first hour of a crisis. It assumes the strategist has either an existing relationship with the subject (so context-gathering is fast) or a structured intake protocol that produces a usable strategic picture in under 30 minutes. Inside the rapid-response window, the team: confirms facts, identifies the worst-case spread vector, contacts the legal team, decides on a public-statement posture (silence, acknowledgement, or denial), drafts holding statements for stakeholders, and identifies the friendly publishers and creators who will help shape the next 24 hours. A rapid-response unit is the difference between a crisis that's contained in 72 hours and one that becomes a permanent fixture in the subject's biography.

In practice

A celebrity's manager calls FAME 911 at 11:42 pm. By 12:30 am the strategist has spoken with the celebrity, their lawyer, and the publication preparing the story — and a coordinated response is being drafted.
A crypto founder is named in a leaked legal filing. Within 90 minutes, the team has identified which outlets received the filing, which haven't, and what the response posture will be for each.
