Your Business & Position

No client or assignment is the same.  But we have learned that people often share similar concerns and issues when it comes to communications, profile and the reputation of a company.

Company chairman or CEO
M: offers genuine experience built over 20 years in the heat of the financial and corporate markets.  We pride ourselves on providing winning solutions on your behalf.  We are a 24/7 "no time-zone" operation.  We regard ourselves as insiders, entrusted with privileged information which will be treated with absolute discretion.  Our recommendations are objective, based on high-quality intelligence and a practical approach to problem solving.

We know your time constraints and we understand your needs.  We know how to cram years of experience and hours of research into a ten-minute meeting or conference call.  You can trust us to deliver.

Finance director
Our people are financially literate and fully trained in the changing and evolving standards of financial reporting and modelling.  We operate at the cutting edge of website and annual report presentation.  We can provide expert feedback from buy-side and sell-side alike and we are a useful secondary channel for you to communicate with the financial media about specific financial issues which differentiate you from your competitors.

You can consult us on best practice and the latest developments in your sector as well as in the crucial understanding of the numbers themselves.

Corporate communications director
We believe the job should hold executive board member status and we are strong advocates of the importance of the role.  Our best client relationships stem from being empowered by the corporate communications chief to operate as company insiders, part of your team; where it’s impossible to distinguish between “in-house” and “external” because all tasks are defined and the team is working as a unit.

We are an extra resource for the unexpected occurrence and are also able to operate as a think tank and sounding board for new ideas.  We can be front line troops or behind the scenes tacticians and advisers.  We don’t pretend to know your company better than you but we do know the marketplace and we can help you look at the business context to provide perspective and differentiation.

We aren’t going to get in the way!  But we have an insight and a contact book that will add serious value whenever you need it.

Investor communications director
We are a logical extension of your internal resource allowing further reach into the international capital markets and providing additional intelligence for your IR decisions.  As independent, objective consultants, our reputation is based on a rigorous and structured approach, derived from extensive experience of both bull and bear markets.  Our clients use M: as additional ears and eyes on the market, often accessing sensitive opinion from the buy- and sell-side.  We can act as a sounding board for your institutional outreach programmes – are you talking to everyone you should?  Do you understand how they will react to specific corporate actions?

From our vantage point of both IR and financial media perspectives, we can help manage the communication process to minimise share price volatility.  We have worked with some of the most complex companies across Europe, from large to small cap, and we know how to improve IR effectiveness on an ongoing basis as well as how to handle a crisis.

Non-executive director
We have many years of experience in providing objective advice and managing judgment-call situations for boardroom members when an independent view needs to be taken or an opinion sought.

We can provide discreet research and recommendations and help take the temperature of investor sentiment.

We are well-qualified to advise non-execs in the changing rules and best practice surrounding corporate governance, executive pay and conditions, options and contractual terms.  And we are versed in the latest techniques of annual report and website presentation, the nuances of regulatory and political audiences and the wider arena of corporate social responsibility.

We are also plugged in to an effective network when it comes to seeking out other boardroom recruits…an increasingly demanding role to fill!

Investment banker & capital markets adviser
Our experience of difficult or hostile transactions is second to none and you can rely on us to fight our mutual client’s corner, backed by an unerring understanding of markets, regulatory requirements, competitor activity and the need to work seamlessly with your team on a 24/7 “no time-zone” basis.

We have excellent IPO experience in the UK and across Europe and we are a market leader in project managing multi-country campaigns.  Another specialism is in helping pre-IPO clients build their own Investor Communications expertise, especially in emerging markets.

We are strongly financed and here for the long-term.  And the senior people we volunteer WILL be the ones handling the account.  We refuse to compromise on that commitment and we will never let you down on that or any other score.

Marketing director
M: has extensive experience of helping organisations develop and raise the profile of their brands and manage their reputation.  In practice, this ranges from offering high level strategic advice on branding and delivering integrated marketing programmes through to using media relations as a tool for raising and managing profile in national and trade publications.

M: friend or relative
Life is great!  Hard work but good for the soul.  We work about 50% longer, harder, more effectively and more enjoyably than in our previous existence(s).  We see much more of our clients because that’s what we like doing best and we’re properly set up to make sure it happens.  And we still get to see our kids, lovers, husbands/wives, dogs and cats, although not all at the same time.

We’re one minute from Moorgate tube, a short cab ride from the Eurostar, 20 minutes from London City airport and 45 minutes by taxi bike from Heathrow.

There’s a gym in the building, good sushi round the corner and a Corney & Barrow in the basement.  And London’s finest restaurant - Smiths of Smithfield - is a ten-minute walk.

Think about becoming a client - we’ll probably get to see more of you that way!
