Bold Ideas Are a Double-Edged Sword
As a PR firm or marketing agency, you thrive on bold ideas — the kind of brand moments that make headlines, light up social feeds, and win awards. These are the campaigns that put you — and your client — on the map.
But here’s the catch: The bigger the moment, the bigger the risk.
High-visibility activations leave no room for error. If something goes wrong — a structural failure, a last-minute design compromise, a setup delay — the story changes. Instead of “brilliant brand experience,” the headline becomes “PR disaster.” And no matter where the problem started, the public sees it as your failure.
The Pit: When Big Ideas Backfire
We’ve seen it happen:
- Safety issues – Poorly built structures that don’t pass inspection or fail mid-event.
- Timeline meltdowns – Missed deadlines that force event delays or cancelations.
- Off-brand execution – Builds that deviate from the approved creative vision.
- Negative press – Social media coverage focuses on the problem, not the brand.
When a bold idea crashes, it’s not just the campaign that takes the hit — it’s your agency’s reputation.
