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.

"I was referred to Alpha several years ago when we were undergoing a transition within our internal IR team. They came in to coach and support our new team and brought valuable insights that helped us ensure a smooth transition and develop a strategic direction going forward. A few years later, we had another unexpected change, and the Alpha team took over the IR function for a handful of quarters, which once again ensured that our IR program didn't miss a beat. I'd highly recommend the team during any IR transition, coaching or other strategic IR need."
