An Interim Communications Director, profiles presented within 72 hours
Reputation crisis, reorganisation or the sudden departure of your Communications Director: Delville Management presents within 72 hours an Interim Communications Director who takes charge of the function from day one.
The responsibilities of an Interim Communications Director
The Interim Communications Director is a senior executive who temporarily heads a company's communications department. They step in during an emergency, a vacancy or a transformation, lead internal and external communications and protect the company's reputation with all its stakeholders.
Communications strategy and brand image
They carry out a rapid assessment of existing communications, redefine the positioning and brand platform, then build a communications plan aligned with the company's strategy and approved by senior management.
Crisis communications and reputation
Restructuring, redundancy plan, industrial incident or social media backlash: they set up the crisis response, prepare key messages and talking points, coach executives for media appearances and limit the impact on the company's image.
Internal communications and change management
During a merger, a reorganisation or a change of governance, they inform employees at the right time, mobilise relay managers and secure the teams' buy-in to the project.
Press relations and public affairs
They take back control of relations with journalists, elected officials, investors and partners, prepare executives' public statements and can act as spokesperson at sensitive moments.
Digital and editorial communications
They bring the editorial line, social media, website and intranet back into line, and set up media monitoring to anticipate issues that could affect the company.
Team management and agency oversight
They lead the communications team, reorganise roles if necessary, manage agencies and the budget, and track precise indicators (press coverage, engagement, awareness) until handing over to their successor.
When communications become urgent, every day counts. We present qualified Interim Communications Directors within 72 hours, able to take over the function without a learning phase.
Each profile is selected according to your context: reputation crisis, merger, transformation plan, replacement of a Communications Director or structuring of a communications department. The selected manager has already dealt with this type of situation.
Unlike an external agency, the Interim Communications Director works within your company, sits alongside senior management and makes decisions. Their outside perspective, free of internal habits, speeds up decision-making.
Used to sensitive situations, the Interim Communications Director steps in where reputation, team confidence or message consistency must be secured quickly.
Our interim communications managers are former Communications Directors of large groups, mid-sized companies or institutions, with 15 to 20 years of experience in corporate, internal and crisis communications. They know how to work closely with a CEO or a board of directors.
They turn communications into a management lever: clear messages in times of uncertainty, mobilised teams, and a company image that is protected and strengthened.
