communications to achieve fair long term market value. The firm’s principal focus in recent years has been on U.S. investor and public relations for a growing number of foreign and domestic small and micro-cap companies, including several in the “ about to go public” stage. Working with smaller companies, they are able to use their extensive “big cap” experience to establish a credible IR and PR function and couple this with a well honed talent for scoping out and building upon what makes each client uniquely attractive. As needed, they bring into each situation a wide network of reliable contacts and associates to assist in such areas as boosting trading volume, adding market makers, developing research coverage, obtaining financing, as well as bringing companies public. They also have an outstanding track record in media placement, both electronic and print.
