Building and managing a company’s reputation and the perceptions of stakeholders, be they shareholders, analysts, clients, or the media, is critically important for all businesses. A strong company image is a valuable asset that contributes to driving new and repeat business and attracting and retaining clients, shareholders and employees.
For listed companies, providing more frequent, detailed reporting and regularly interacting with current and potential stakeholders to keep them informed of strategic direction, financial performance and business activities is simply good practice.
With this ever increasing need for engagement and the demand for specialist investor relations and corporate marketing services, boutique consulting firm, communicaterelate consulting, was established in 2009.
Drawing on the extensive experience of Founder and Principal Consultant, Christine Bowen, communicaterelate consulting assists listed and unlisted companies with a range of services that ultimately strengthen their engagement with key stakeholders in a planned and on-going manner.
Working alongside clients, Chris provides counsel and resources to help them to better engage with key stakeholders, particularly the investment community and the media, to build more effective and long-lasting relations.
As a boutique consultancy, most clients will deal directly with Chris. As and when required, Chris has a pool of additional consultants to work with her on client assignments.
The breadth of our services is extensive, working with clients on retained engagements, defined projects or on an as needs basis.
Our services help our clients to:
- Deliver financial results or financial calendar activities
- Review, plan and implement their on-going investor relations activities, and
- Develop and strengthen engagement with an often diverse stakeholder group.
Specific assignments may involve working with clients to:
- Prepare communications for an impending corporate action;
- Manage specific issues that have the potential to affect the company’s reputation or share valuation;
- Undertake a corporate (re)branding; or
- Build public relations and marketing strategies.
Proudly, many of our client relationships are long-term, which we believe reflects our personalised manner and the responsive approach to our engagement with clients.
