NZ Investor Relations Firm Partners with Global PR Heavyweight

Emerging Wellington-based Investor Relations & Stakeholder Management firm, Intelligentsia, has broadened the scope of its offering by signing a partnership agreement with global public relations and digital communications heavyweight, Edelman.

Founded by former NZBIO CEO Bronwyn Dilley, Intelligentsia provides specialized investor relations, company perception and reputation strategies and stakeholder management services to high growth micro- to mid-cap companies, both public and private.

“One of the great strengths of this partnership is the combination of a targeted investor relations and stakeholder management offer with a much broader global strategic communications capability,” said Ms Dilley. “For growth companies looking to improve their profile and reputation in international markets ahead of a capital raising or market entry, this partnership provides them access to the best of both worlds.”

Edelman Melbourne General Manager, Grant Smith, said the addition of an investor relations offer was a key step in the company’s diversification strategy.

“We know that client service is the lifeblood of a successful consultancy, and this partnership adds another dimension to our corporate service offering” said Mr Smith.
“Working with Intelligentsia, we’ll be in a position to provide additional support to the lifeblood of the Australian and New Zealand economies – high growth companies that carry the weight of the future on their shoulders.

”The innovative partnership model will provide the right opportunity for our team to provide a diversified strategic communication offer to support Intelligentsia’s clients in a broader communication context.”

Ms Dilley highlighted Edelman’s digital capability, saying “The uptake of digital media and social networks for investor relations by Australasian companies is well behind global trends, so Edelman’s leadership in digital and social communications around the world offers a significant advantage for growth companies looking to expand.”

“Sharing our international networks and capabilities provides depth of service and global reach for micro-, small-and mid-cap companies looking to expand their global footprint; both from an investor perspective and a customer one,” said Ms Dilley.
