Shareholder Activism & Proxy Contests
The outcome of an activist shareholder campaign or proxy contest is ultimately determined by how persuasively each side makes its appeal to investors — so it is critical to have an effective communications strategy in place.
The August team – which includes former journalists, investment bankers, and attorneys – works closely with investment professionals, executive and finance teams, boards, legal counsel, and other 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 narrative itself. In addition to implementing effective traditional shareholder communications, we leverage our extensive connections with relevant news agencies and our experience organizing targeted digital and social media campaigns to maximize the impact and reach of our clients’ positions.
We tailor our services to the requirements of each client regardless of the size or scope of their needs.
