Investor Relations & Financial PR

We recognise that we're currently living through a particularly difficult communications era.

Nimbleness is essential, as is hard-won experience: that is what we deliver.

How We Can Help

The biggest current issue facing listed companies and those preparing for an IPO is balancing shareholder needs against ASX requirements of good governance and compliance. The burden on rapid growth start-ups can be particularly onerous.

For private companies looking for capital, or listed companies engaging with their shareholders, it has never been as important to cut through the cacophony of the financial markets. Responsive communications that engage investors while navigating the compliance hurdles of a more demanding regulator, are increasingly a ticket to play.

Our approach is strategic, with an ability to respond to short-term issues with an eye to long-term sustainability.

We consider ourselves as part of your team, either to support your corporate affairs person(s), or advising the CEO and board.

Our specialist team has specific experience in:

Shareholder relations
Crisis & Issues management
Board governance
Hostile takeovers
Mergers & Acquisitions and other complex stakeholder engagements
IPOs
Negative media and stakeholder perceptions
Investor roadshows
Corporate compliance
ASX requirements
Financial Results
Executive and board profiling
Positioning the brand
