Prepare for real crises - without the real-world risk


With Social Simulator, your team is placed at the centre of a high-pressure, fast-moving crisis scenario. They respond in real time to simulated media stories, social media noise, internal emails - mirroring the multi-channel nature of a crises.

Throughout the drill, participants take on key roles, collaborate under pressure, and make rapid decisions - all while receiving real-time feedback. Behind the scenes, our experts dynamically manage the scenario to test your team’s response capabilities.

Whether you’re in Sydney, Auckland, Melbourne, or Wellington, Social Simulator is your go-to partner for building crisis resilience.

Responding to a crisis without a plan is like trying to make a movie without a script.
