Alpha IR & Alpha Advisory Groups
Situation: Alpha’s client had grown from an orphaned small-cap company near death into a rapidly growing mid-cap concern within just a few years. Growth had been achieved both organically and through a number of intelligent acquisitions. The IR function and the Company’s materials were fairly reactive as a result of such a rapid transformation. The executive team felt their messaging […]
Situation: Alpha’s client was a niche small-cap company that had recently undergone a management transition and restructuring plan. The shareholder base included a combination of legacy investors (one of which had filed a 13D) and ten new activist-oriented holders (two of which had filed 13Gs). These new investors were led by one primary activist who had courted others to the […]
Situation: Alpha’s client was a high-growth small-cap company that had never held an Investor Day. While its products were all well known, the stock had fallen off Wall Street’s radar. Further, the client had a new product in development that could positively alter the future growth profile of the the Company and wanted to better articulate its three-to-five year vision […]
Situation: Alpha’s client was a recent mid-cap spinoff in an industry that was about to undergo significant growth. This client had used a purely quantitative and software-based approach in the past, and wanted a more sophisticated and tailored answer to its targeting needs. Most importantly, the client wanted a targeting solution that would maximize its IR efforts and reduce management’s […]

Situation: Alpha’s client was a highly regarded large-cap company that had used a quantitative and anonymous approach to perception studies in the past. However, the client wanted to improve the sophistication and impact of these periodic studies, so the Company hired Alpha IR to perform a perception study with both a qualitative and quantitative review of all of its key investors and analysts. Solution: […]
Situation: Alpha’s client was an energy Company and a recent IPO. Within a few months of becoming a public company, the Company had a large fire that caused a death at one of its facilities. As a newer company, the client had a series of crises mechanisms in place to handle the event locally, but not at the national level (i.e. the investor level). Solution: Alpha […]
Situation: Alpha’s client was a rapidly emerging small-cap company, with a dominant (near monopoly) position in its core business. The Company had few direct peers and had also invested the large majority of its profits over the prior three years on a new product that could dramatically shift the Company’s profile. That said, investor confidence had become extremely negative through this “investment phase,” driving sentiment to an all-time low. […]
Situation: Alpha was engaged to help a client communicate around the strategic acquisition of a significant interest in another public company. This deal was both creative and somewhat unique, so the client’s investor communication was fairly complex. Further, the primary audience for this transaction was the investment community. Thus, the client wanted to avoid the excessive fees that a crisis/PR firm would charge for an event […]
