Global capital markets, complex regulatory frameworks and intense competition are forming the architecture of the contemporary business arena. Financial communication requires deep understanding of key market elements along with the regulatory environment, analysts’ and investors’ prospects and overall market trends. Handling cases such as poor market reports, corporate leaks, rumors, speculation and even legal actions is also imperative. The goal is to safeguard the corporate investment narrative, through the development of appropriate storytelling, accurate messaging and spot-on target group identification.
Financial communication requires an incremental strategy. The investment community is rarely impressed by bold yet sporadic moves. At V+O, our people start from analyzing the financial statements and after deep understanding of the situation, proceed with the development and the implementation of a tailor-made communication plan. V+O has a deep knowledge of financial communication and investor relations issues, that can lead to the development of strategic, impactful and effective communications programs, aligned with our clients’ key business drivers and financial goals. Our wide network of contacts with the financial media and the governing bodies of the financial markets, along with our extensive knowledge of the legal framework concerning disclosure procedures and the Athens Exchange functions are some of the reasons why V+O has been the financial communication advisor of most major IPO and M&A projects in Greece, including among others Credit Agricole’s acquisition of Emporiki Bank, Societé Generale’s acquisition of Geniki Bank, Global Finance’s acquisition of Nikas, and baked goods giant Katselis’ merger with Allatini Mills.
