Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

Funding Round and IPO Announcements

PR is a fundamental need for funding rounds and IPO announcements. It’s a rare moment in time when the media will be especially interested in what your company and spokespeople have to offer. As a result, these announcements point to a company’s growth and expansion and should be shared in an effective manner with all a company’s internal and external stakeholders, including the media, investors, employees and others. All too many times, we’ve been approached by new clients, who came to us after a poorly executed funding round, looking to not make the same mistakes with the next. 

Beyond deep strategic planning, PR activities include the creation of content like press releases, blogs, social media posts and more. These materials will then be leveraged across their appropriate channels to inform and reach relevant audiences.

PR can have a transformative impact on these types of announcements. If done effectively, it reaches and attracts investors, partners, customers and brand advocates and helps to grow a company’s reputation and financial position. In addition, from an internal organizational perspective, it can help increase employee morale.

Our senior-level team has been trusted to run business-critical funding rounds and IPO announcements by a host of brands, across different sectors and levels of capital. As a team of former journalists, we have the skills to ensure your brand is prepared to make the most out of such announcements and support across brand messaging, media relations and social media.
