We offer companies across sectors, regions, and transaction sizes a unique and proven approach to IPO communications – from start-up to grown-up.
An IPO is one of the most intense, high-profile events a company will ever undertake.
A complex set of participants, a rigid process, potential external detractors, and a new universe of stakeholders all need to be managed. Strategic communications help tailor the equity story, build support for the offering, and sustain momentum for life as a listed company.
Our Approach
We help craft a strong equity story that resonates with institutional investors, while guiding clients through the rigorous IPO process – from filing, the roadshow, listing day, to post-IPO communications and beyond.
