SPINOFFs

Complex Events Require Proactive, Strategic Communications

Wall Street has fallen in love with corporate spinoffs, and activists often see them as ways to create long-term value.  

However, whenever you break an organization into pieces, you lose years of collective goal setting, organizational alignment, and shared mission, vision, and values.

Further, whether structured as an equity carve-out or full spin, both companies will have significant internal and external communication challenges across every stakeholder.  

Alpha’s integrated communications team has the experience, deep IR roots, and multi-stakeholder processes to ensure long-term success for both entities before, during, and after the transaction is complete.

“Alpha was a trusted advisor for GreenSky as we worked through a team member departure and needed to simplify our messaging for investors, providing both strategic insight and tactical support. The team's Perception Study and IR Audit/Engagement Plan also provided key insights and a roadmap for engaging a wider investor audience.”
