Financial Public Relations & Investor Relations

Our Financial PR and Investor Relations team specialises in communications associated with financial and sustainability reporting, capital raises, company mergers, restructurings, banking, equities, foreign exchange and debt markets.

We are former journalists who’ve worked for business media and financial news wire services in the US, UK, Australia and New Zealand, holding roles that include finance editor and economics specialist. Our consultants have studied investment analysis and taught business journalism students.

We’ve run corporate communications teams for large New Zealand companies and worked for fund managers, so we are well equipped to advise you on your investor relations strategy, complying with NZX listing rules and shareholder communications in general. We can assist with annual reports, annual meetings, media relations, presentations and offer documents.

We enjoy the business of business and know how to connect with prospective investors, mum-and-dad shareholders, business reporters and financial commentators.
