Conclusion
Getting the right messages to the right people at the right time is still the essence of success. However, it should be pointed out that the greatest public relations strategy in the world can only succeed if the senior management of the company are doing their jobs well and recognize the important role that communications has to play in any public company.
Financial public and corporate relations people, however successful, should keep in mind at all times that they are only part of the communications process. Like comedians who long to play Hamlet, we need to be aware that most of us have a talent to communicate and amuse, but that does not necessarily qualify us to run the whole operation.
A ‘good’ public relations campaign is one that is effective, not necessarily one that gets noticed. Financial public relations may require more discipline and more technical knowledge than most aspects of communication activity: it also needs to be every bit as creative as the most sophisticated consumer public relations.
A checklist
A new company flotation requires a different financial public relations campaign to a company’s presentation of results or a new stock market listing. However, there are a number of key points that need to have been addressed before embarking on any campaign.
Do you know what are the objectives of the campaign and what is the preferred timescale for achieving these objectives? Do these objectives fit with the long-term strategy for the organization?
Have you clearly identified the key strengths that are going to be the core of the campaign message?
Have you identified the weaknesses of the organization and its management, and developed a communications plan for dealing with them when they arise?
Have you identified who will be the principal spokesperson ensured that they are properly prepared and media trained, and decided who will support them in presenting the case?
Is your campaign coordinated with all the other public relations and marketing activity being carried out by the organization?
Have you a clear timetable of events, checked that it fits in with the rest of the company’s financial calendar and with all Stock Exchange rules and regulations?
How are you going to measure your success?
