Financial communications
Our business is rooted in the capital markets. We understand how to deliver effective and considered communications to investors, analysts, regulators and the media to enhance long term shareholder value. Our advice covers not only quarterly or half yearly reporting but how to maintain a continuing dialogue throughout the year through events such as investor days, site visits or seminars. We also ensure that clients are using all available channels to reach key audiences including both conventional and digital media.
Corporate communications
We work with our clients to create communications which support the strategic priorities of their business. This includes helping clients to identify and encapsulate the underlying purpose of their business. Our advice is always based on a thorough understanding of the business and the wider operating environment.
Investor relations
We advise clients on their engagement and communication with the investors to ensure that the investment case is properly understood in the context of their performance and the market environment. This involves analysis of investor sentiment and where appropriate advice on targeting of new investors.
Transaction and activist communications
Effective communication is vital for successful transactions in capital markets and for dealing with activist investors. We have experience of multiple very substantial transactions and activist battles and can operate effectively under intense pressure, in complex and time sensitive situations.
Crisis and issues management
We are used to dealing with the unexpected. We deal regularly with a range of critical situations where an effective communications response is vital. This includes product, environmental and safety issues; leadership changes; cybersecurity breaches; investigations; restructuring and insolvency; and litigation.
Environmental, social and corporate governance
Business leaders are increasingly expected to demonstrate that they have considered the societal impact of what they do. We advise clients in developing their narrative on environmental, social and corporate governance issues to ensure that they reflect not only regulatory requirements but also the expectations of their investors, employees, customers and the wider public.
Policy and regulatory advice
Business and politics are increasingly intertwined. We help clients to understand the specific impact of public policy of their business and how to communicate effectively with policy makers. We offer unrivalled insights on navigating Westminster and Whitehall; help businesses engage with the decision-makers who matter; and advise on effective advocacy of their positions.
Employee and key stakeholder engagement
Employees, customers, suppliers and the wider community are all crucial stakeholders in our clients’ businesses. We advise our clients on how to communicate effectively with each of these groups to strengthen trust, build lasting relationships and drive cultural change thereby enabling them to achieve their strategic objectives.
