It’s common for companies to rebrand even after they have been established. Businesses rebrand for various reasons, such as expanding to international markets, adopting new philosophy or changing strategic plans.

No matter what reason for your rebrand, the process is a brilliant way to breathe new life into your business. Your rebrand is a perfect opportunity to reestablish your company's vision and mission as you rethink about your market and investor audience. It’s the best time to redefine the way your company presents itself through every communication channel, especially your website.

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards are crucial now more than ever for your business. As ESG criteria has gained importance among regulators and stakeholders, so investors are advancing investments in companies with high ESG criteria.

If your business has a strong ESG focus, you will be in a better position to attract interest from investors. Showcasing your corporate citizenship is one of the ways to demonstrate the impact you have on economic, social and environmental aspects of society.

Amid uncertainties in the prevalent market, you’ll need to increase your communications with investors to bring them up to date with your company. Enhance your online presence through your website, emails, webinars and online events. Get to them through videos and podcasts as well as social media to keep them in the loop.

All around the world companies are going digital in their workflows, including in their investor relations (IR) efforts. Adopting digitalisation as an essential part of IR was fast tracked by the pandemic and the progressively global nature of capital, according to a recent industry report.

Embracing this new face of IR enables businesses not only to gain smarter workflows that promote efficiency. It also empowers them to thrive during tough times, particularly in the past two years wherein working remotely and on mobile have become commonplace.

June year-end companies, how are you going with your annual report design this year?

Will you have it designed in house or outsourced? Will you be taking on a design agency or an investor relations (IR) focused design team?

Communicating to the investor market calls for a dedicated expertise, particularly for collateral such as annual reports. That’s why companies engage IR design professionals with a wealth of experience to craft these compliance documents that doubly serve as marketing tools.

Getting your website ready for your initial public offering (IPO) is important even before a formal announcement of your move to the market.

Setting up your website prior to your IPO launch will help investors know about your company, your management, and your investment proposition. It will help broadcast your intention to float and will be vital for your investor roadshow.
