Financial Communications

The capital markets are one of the most influential and ruthless determinants of corporate reputation. Our team advises companies from the FTSE 100, through to small caps in every major sector on how to best communicate with investors, analysts, the business media and other key stakeholders, including government. We advise on and deliver communications strategies for all financial calendar moments, complex M&A, executive change, restructurings and high-profile corporate crises, leveraging our deep relationships across the media, the City and wider international markets.

Reputation is a key determinant of valuation not only for listed business, but also for private companies – particularly those working towards an IPO or other change of ownership and those with listed debt. At Headland we help private companies articulate their core investment case and corporate narrative, build profile and manage their relationships with key stakeholders including the media, colleagues, industry bodies and governments.

In an increasingly complex and competitive environment, strategic communication is a key differentiator for private capital firms, serving to both protect and promote reputation. Headland has extensive experience in this area and deep relationships across the stakeholder landscape, enabling private capital firms not only to demonstrate to investors the strength of their distinct strategy and portfolio, but also convince potential targets of their value creation strategy.
