Best practice no. 1: Act like a public company “Acting like a public company way before filing the S-1 – Regardless of how far away listing day actually is, a key part of building alignment and preparedness is acting like you’re already public. “This means transparently disclosing financials and announcing news regularly (e.g., 1-2x/month).” — V2 Communications ✍️📰 #privatecompany | #publiccompany | #preparedness 👍👌🙌 | Kristen Leathers 🤝

Communications is the foundation from which all aspects of a business start. Effectively communicating to everyone from employees, investors, and customers/clients can mean the difference between growth and momentum, vs. missed opportunities, stagnation and operational damage. A strategic approach to communications (internal and external) is essential and should be treated as an imperative, not an after thought. 1903 PR starts with the end in mind, accounting for all stakeholders, developing hyper-specific messaging that resonate with each and driving meaningful impact.

Financial services has a trust problem. Why, and what to do about it, have long been questions for discussion. But does the dawn of a new era in corporate communications offer a new answer? I’ve penned some thoughts on the subject which you can read below. My key takeaways: 1) The asymmetry of information theory says that financial services firms benefit commercially because there is an imbalance in knowledge between those building the products and providing the services, and those using them. But to benefit reputationally, perhaps financial services needs to address that imbalance 💹 2) Across corporate communications, we’re seeing signs that teams are prepared to embrace a more creative approach to reputation management. This approach may hold the key to unlocking greater trust for financial services brands 🔑 3) Looking to the future, creativity in how businesses in financial services communicate, how they explain what they do and demonstrate their value to society, should be front and centre of the communications approach 📢 Read my thoughts in full - and if you’d like to attend our event in September, where we delve deeper into creativity in corporate communications, click on the link in the blog post to RSVP. https://lnkd.in/eeCvD9cm #corporatecomms #financialservices #pr #thinkbolder
