SPINOFFs

Complex Events Require Proactive, Strategic Communications

Wall Street has fallen in love with corporate spinoffs, and activists often see them as ways to create long-term value.  

However, whenever you break an organization into pieces, you lose years of collective goal setting, organizational alignment, and shared mission, vision, and values.

Further, whether structured as an equity carve-out or full spin, both companies will have significant internal and external communication challenges across every stakeholder.  

Alpha’s integrated communications team has the experience, deep IR roots, and multi-stakeholder processes to ensure long-term success for both entities before, during, and after the transaction is complete.

"Alpha has been a trusted and strategic partner of ours for the past five years. As Powell has grown, the Alpha team has supported management and the Company across all aspects of our increasingly important IR function. Their strategic and Board-level counsel on important issues have been invaluable along with their help navigating a significant expansion of our visibility with Wall Street. They have become an integral part of our team at Powell."
