Perspectives on transactions, reputation, and communications strategy.
Notes from the file. Practical thinking from the work, written for the people who do the work.
What investor communications actually win in a contested deal.
The narrative window in a transaction is shorter and noisier than most teams plan for. Here is what consistently moves the needle.
The first six hours: what a crisis response should look like.
Most reputational damage is decided before the second statement goes out. A practical playbook for the early window.
Profile raising for founders who would rather not.
Visibility done well compounds. Done badly, it costs trust. A framework for executives who want the right kind of profile.
What media training actually prepares you for.
Message discipline is only part of it. What most preparation misses is how stories are built after the interview ends.
Capital raise communications: the work that happens before the announcement.
By the time the announcement is public, the investors who matter have already formed a view. That is when the real work should have started.
When the regulator calls: what the first meeting decides.
The tone of the first regulatory conversation is read as intent. Most organisations arrive at it without a communications strategy.
Stay in the loop.
