IPO PR
Crafting strategic communications campaigns for IPOs and SPACs
An initial public offering (IPO) is a key milestone for a growing business. In a crowded marketplace, it is critical that companies looking to list communicate a clear equity story to the audiences that matter. Sapience Communications helps businesses accomplish this.
An IPO is a natural step for many growing companies. Listing on the public market deep pools of capital from institutional and retail investors that are critical to your business’ growth and expansion. A float on an exchange can be a complex undertaking – one that involves maintaining good relations with a number of key stakeholders. As such, sound PR and investor relations is key to ensuring a smooth IPO process.

Frequently asked questions
How is pricing determined?
We will work with you to help you choose the particular PR, investor relations, and digital marketing services that are right for you and your IPO journey. Pricing will largely be determined on this basis, along with the length of the engagement.
How long should we prepare for an IPO?
The IPO process is a complex undertaking with many regulatory requirements to be met and disclosures to be made. Because of this, we advise beginning the process around two years ahead of a planned float.
How do you measure success?
Sapience uses its data tools to produce a variety of metrics such as audience numbers and click-through rates on email marketing. These help ensure that our work is making a positive contribution to your IPO.
Can you run communications campaigns in multiple countries?
Certainly. We have extensive contacts with the international media and maintain an office in Dubai – another key financial centre.
Can you help us produce SWOT assessments as part of the pre-IPO campaign?
Yes. A rigorous SWOT assessment is a standard part of any communications strategy we develop.
How important are investor relations for IPOs in general?
Investor relations are a critical part of a successful IPO. The confidence of existing shareholders must be maintained during what is a highly complex undertaking – one which almost always brings about significant changes to a company. This calls for consistent and proactive action to build trust in a company’s leadership and its plans for the future.
Do we need PR post-IPO?
A company, once listed on an exchange, will generally have a much larger public profile and will be exposed to greater amounts of outside scrutiny. PR services can help a newly listed company navigate these opportunities and challenges.
