Investor Relations and External Communications
Thought-Leading Investor Relations and External Communications
As a strategic, fit-for-purpose healthcare investor relations and external communications agency, we integrate with each client team to develop tailored messaging and a bespoke strategy; we leverage data to inform our recommendations; and we execute flawlessly to help companies access capital and, ultimately, deliver transformative benefit to patients.
Our Solutions
Value Message Development and Amplification
Our deep industry knowledge and research on best practices assist each client in crafting key messages. We integrate vision, the value and impact of scientific innovation, differentiation from peers, and specific expertise into narratives that build credibility and value and importantly, resonate with key external stakeholders: investors, media, and industry thought leaders. We leverage our creative and digital capabilities to amplify company messaging across all interactive channels.
Investor and Industry Events and Corporate Access
We plan and execute virtual and live events to attract key investors, analysts and other stakeholders. From traditional analyst and investor R&D days to KOL roundtables and events at medical conferences, we facilitate partnerships within our global network of thought leaders and stakeholders. Our premier corporate access event each January in San Francisco is one of the largest in the industry!
Sell-Side Engagement, Investor Targeting and Outreach
We identify and connect clients with potential partners in equity research and investment banking who can further expand access, industry intelligence and support. In addition, we have extensive knowledge and resources to ensure clients identify the right healthcare and biotechnology investors. We help manage these relationships, and provide tactical support on outreach and scheduling.
Financing Strategy and Preparing for Life as a Public Company
We work with companies from the very earliest stages, supporting company branding and website development, Series A financing, and the public launch. We also support companies in their transition to the public markets—via an IPO, SPAC, or reverse merger—and beyond! In each instance, our team is ready to guide clients through all the mission-critical infrastructure-building events and financing decisions, supporting everything from crossover rounds and syndicate selection to bakeoffs and roadshow support.
Newsflow Planning
We strategically plan how, when, and where to disclose clinical, corporate, and financial news to generate the most value.
PR
We build credibility across channels, platforming the insights of key opinion leaders to gain the coverage and positive impressions each client deserves, and using strategic earned media to expand share of voice and build momentum at and between milestones.
