Shareholder Activism & Proxy Contests

The August team – which includes former journalists, investment bankers, and practicing attorneys – works closely with investment professionals, executive and finance teams, boards, legal counsel, and other strategic advisors to develop impactful communications strategies and narratives that shape the opinions of important shareholders and proxy advisory firms.

August applies decades of collective experience and deep institutional knowledge of how effective proxy campaigns are run to quickly get up to speed and help our clients craft a compelling narrative that will resonate with shareholders.

August believes that how a narrative is delivered can be just as important as the message itself. In addition to implementing effective traditional shareholder communications, we leverage our deep media relationships and experience organizing targeted digital and social media campaigns to maximize the impact and reach of our clients’ positions.

We tailor our services to each client’s individual objectives and circumstances, providing support regardless of the size or scope of their needs.
