Wienerberger proves bricks aren't boring

By IR Web Report on April 14, 2008

AS CORPORATE reporting moves increasingly to the web, annual report designers are learning that it’s incredibly difficult to create attention-grabbing online communications. We often see their feeble attempts in the form of online annual report splash pages, covers or homepages. If you’re lucky there’s some dancing text and flashing video, but most often even these [...]

How to fix e-proxy

By IR Web Report on April 4, 2008

A WEEK ago, I called the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) notice-and-access process for delivering annual meeting materials on the web “one gigantic flop from an investor protection perspective.” I think it’s worth beating that drum a little louder in light of the latest statistics from Broadridge Financial Solutions showing a sharp drop in [...]

AS MORE companies add blogs and other social media tools to their online communications, knowing how to handle errors in posts has become an important practice point. Business Wire (BW) is one company that hasn’t yet learned how to do this properly. And that’s a problem because part of BW’s business is advising companies and [...]

NIRI members' discontent posted on Web

By IR Web Report on March 4, 2008

ABOUT eight months ago, I let my membership of the National Investor Relations Institute (NIRI) expire. I wasn’t happy with the direction of the organization, and I felt that being a member would restrict me from speaking my mind about it on this blog if I wanted to. Since then, however, I’ve kept my mouth [...]

Watching two tech drunks rumble

By IR Web Report on February 11, 2008

OUR research has long found that big technology companies are among the weakest when it comes to online investor relations communications — and we’re now seeing that manifest itself in the Yahoo!-Microsoft dust up. I’ve already highlighted how neither company is making effective use of its website to keep shareholders informed, and I’ve complained aloud [...]

Real IR magazine, R.I.P

By IR Web Report on February 7, 2008

AND then there was one. Last month, Real IR magazine ceased publishing after less than four years as Europe’s magazine for investor relations professionals. The bright, high-quality publication launched by UK-based Caspian Publishing brought healthy competition to a market that has long been dominated by Cross Border Group’s IR Magazine. In a letter to subscribers [...]

Shareholder forums vs. board blogs

By IR Web Report on July 6, 2007

THE U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s concept for an electronic forum where shareholders can discuss and possibly vote on corporate governance issues is too prescriptive and costly, and will mostly benefit a small group of vendors only. At their roundtable on proxy access in May, the SEC floated the concept of an electronic forum in [...]

SEC chairman's clarion call to IR communicators

By IR Web Report on April 2, 2007

By Dominic Jones JUST over a week ago, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chairman Christopher Cox gave an important speech that has so far gone unreported by the investor relations profession’s main associations and trade press. In his closing remarks to the Second Annual Corporate Governance Summit at the USC Marshall School of Business in [...]
