Banking and Finance
With backgrounds in banking, capital markets, the law and journalism, our team is equipped to help banks, specialist lenders, price comparison sites and fintechs communicate effectively in these regulated and scrutinised sectors.
Our work includes building thought leadership platforms and supporting clients when they are under scrutiny, for example when they are raising capital, pursuing M&A, driving major internal change, addressing regulatory reform, or responding to a crisis.
Insurance
Insurance companies know only too well that it pays to be properly covered when things go wrong. We help with unexpected communications risks like challenges from campaign groups, politicians, competitors and business partners. Insurers are at the heart of a changing world as it affects health, society or the environment.
Investment Management
Our 20+ consultant investment management team is expert in the different asset classes, investment strategies and funds that make up the investment management sector, as well as the public challenges and expectations it faces.
We help managers build their firms and reputations, and in managing their problems, ranging from performance issues to personnel changes, regulatory challenges, wind-downs and M&A. Happily the bulk of our work focuses on helping clients build awareness for their products available to institutional and retail clients, and intermediaries, across markets. With most investment media content written in English, we serve clients seeking to gain profile in all global financial centres.
Fintech
Despite bringing efficiencies and innovation to financial services and payments the sector faces challenges of regulation, credibility and valuations. Effective communications helps companies attract the talent, partnerships and capital essential for growth.
Investment trusts
The challenge for Boards of keeping trusts in the public eye is well known to us. We are familiar with all the techniques to maximise exposure using media, social media, websites and corporate newsflow.
