Offense vs. Defense: How to Shape Your IR Strategy in a Market Downturn.

A market downturn can be one of the most demanding times to be involved in investor relations. While some management teams choose to retrench and communicate less in difficult times, it's typically not the best solution. Staying proactive and educating investors about where and how you’re focusing your efforts can be challenging—but it’s crucial to protect your credibility and trust with the investment community.

In this webinar, we'll discuss:

  • The importance of maintaining an active marketing program during a downturn.
  • Selling management on a proactive path and strategy forward.
  • Where and how to focus your efforts that lead to the best outcomes.
  • Getting ready for an upturn and what to think about next.

Speakers Include:

  • David Whyte, CEO & Co-Founder - Irwin - Moderator
  • Gus Papageorgiou, Head of Investor Relations, Lightspeed HQ
  • Michele Robitaille, Managing Director, Head of Responsible Investing - Guardian Capital
  • Ian Tharp, Capital Markets Communications, LodeRock
