The types of firms that typically turn to Anreder & Company include:

Service & Technology Vendors for Banks, Business and Wall Street. These firms have developed specialized knowledge or technology-enhanced services that increase productivity, reduce costs or help manage new laws and regulations. We help them launch new businesses, drive growth, build partnerships, and create trusted brands.

Investment Banking Firms. Investment banks have become increasingly specialized, focusing on target markets, activities or asset classes. We help them communicate their accomplishments in M&A, advisory and restructuring, as well as private equity investing, to attract new business and recognition within specific industries.

Hedge Funds & Private Equity Firms. Some like to keep a low profile, others want to be better known in order to attract investors and/or investment opportunities. Our deep experience and understanding of the industry and media enables us to counsel and implement effective strategies.

Publicly Traded Companies. With cutbacks on Wall Street, new communications technology and high frequency trading, it is daunting for small and mid-caps to strategize and implement well-managed and cost-efficient IR programs. We help these companies deal with everything, including quarterly results, conference calls, corporate announcements, M&A activities and offerings, corporate PR outreach, and building relationships on Wall Street.

Issuers of Municipal Bonds. As a result of SEC concerns about disclosure and transparency, states, counties and municipalities are leaning that it’s a new game maintaining investor support. Having significant experience with one of the largest issues of municipal bonds, we know how to formulate and implement effective IR programs aimed at credit rating agencies, and institutional and retail investors.

Companies / Executives in Crisis. A crisis can occur anytime these days. We have successfully assisted companies and executives in some of the most difficult and complex issues and situations, while mindful of business and legal proprieties.

Non-Profits Supported by Wall Street.  A growing number of private equity and hedge funds are “giving back” by supporting worthwhile causes.  We have developed special expertise in helping Wall Street and non-profits promote their causes so that all interested parties are viewed appropriately by the business, financial and consumer media.

We are passionate about serving our clients, taking advantage of our deep experience, knowledge and, when appropriate, the latest digital communications and social media technology.

Marketing Communications.  We develop and implement programs designed to help clients expand their business and reputation in line with their strategic goals.

Corporate Public Relations.  We manage responses to media inquiries, and prepare and distribute effective news releases.

Investor Relations (small and mid-caps).  Counseling and services for implementing and managing effective IR outreach or for assisting in-house IR executives.  It is not unusual for companies to completely outsource their IR department to us.

Investor Relations (large caps).  Discreet, behind the scenes data, insight, or other intelligence needed to support IR programs.

Crisis Communications.  We advise companies or executives in strategizing and managing timely communications.  Situations typically range from the disclosure of sensitive information, bankruptcy, and product recalls, to legal and criminal matters.

Intelligence.  We compile customized email newsletters, on a daily or weekly basis, for tracking competitor or industry information or other issues of interest.  We also perform specialized research projects.

Content.  We develop whitepapers, speeches, presentations, websites, blog and Twitter posts, sales oriented PDFs, or other content to help a company and/or its executives market or position themselves.  We also helped a client author a best-selling book.

Digital & Social Media.  We use existing free or low cost technology platforms to develop websites, blogs, Twitter feeds, email marketing programs, or customer relationship management programs, for clients to communicate and market to their target audiences.
