Stocks and Money is a full service Investor Relations firm. We offer highly effective, innovative solutions to help grow your shareholder base, increase shareholder value and get your message out to the investing community. Unlike most, we are not a pump and dump facilitator.
We only take on a very limited number of clients at any given time. This ensures that each client is given maximum attention from ourselves, but also the investing community. Too often we see IR firms attempting to promote tens, if not hundreds, of companies at the same time to the same audience. This kind of saturation does nobody any good except lining the pockets (or bank accounts) of these firms.
Furthermore, we only deal with companies serious about engaging a top tier IR firm with a focus on increasing their corporate profile within the investing community. As such, we perform our own due diligence on potential clients to ensure we are dealing with serious, honest and reputable individuals.
Once engaged, we partner with our valued clients to deliver an exceptional service that enhances your company’s shareholder wealth through building a long-term sustainable and loyal shareholder base.
Stocks and Money provides tailored, out-of-the-box solutions to all clients. Below is some of the standard services we offer:
- Company Profiles and Research Reports
Stocks and Money provide custom company profiles (fact sheets) detailing your company’s business, strategic plans, product/service information, management biographies, recent news, opinions on potential company valuation and any other pertinent information that will create buzz within the investing community. We will distribute your report through various channels including our wholly owned websites, opt-in email lists, social media, message boards, investing chat rooms, forums and blogs, as well as our list institutional investors, bankers, funds, brokers and market makers.
If your company would benefit from extensive, institutional quality research and investment options, we can organize that too. We partner with one of the finest, most reputable organizations in this field, to produce outstanding quality research reports that enhance your company’s visibility with key Wall Street players and institutional investors.

We maintain several highly trafficked websites each with their own organic opt-in email lists. This audience is particularly engaged because they have come searching for us, and we constantly experience high open rates and action. All information relating to your company including the company profile, research, press releases and stock technical analysis is distributed through our email lists.
We also use the services of outside stock awareness websites. For more information, see Quarterbacked Campaigns below.

We focus on running quality, innovative social media programs to ensure your company and message is not lost in the crowd. In addition to our own high traffic websites, we have a large social media following on services such as Twitter and Facebook accounts. We have the ability to reach a large captive audience. We also employ various techniques to utilize the growing popularity of social networking sites like LinkedIn, and social bookmarking sites like StumbleUpon, Digg and del.icio.us and many more. We keep our audience engaged in our social media platforms through providing highly valuable information such as trade alerts, stock scans, market moving news, company earnings and more, all while consistently delivering your company’s message.
- Direct Mail Campaigns
The use of direct mail is once again on the rise, and is a proven method of increasing awareness about your company within the investing community. We have experience in running various size direct mail campaigns reaching audiences from several thousands to millions. Our database is a combination of opt-in subscriptions as well as shareholder lists from the stock market exchange websites. A large portion of our target audience are motivated investors, and many are high net worth individuals. All direct mail campaigns will have details of your company, its message, as well as contact details including a toll free number where potential investors can seek more information.
- Internet Presence Enhancement & Monitoring
It is important your company has a dominant and favorable presence on the internet. We will distribute your company’s message to popular finance, and non-finance, websites, message boards, forums and chat rooms through our network of highly trusted and respected investors and traders. As we have long term strategic relationships with many of the owner/operators of these websites, this form of marketing can be the most effective in creating high levels of interest in your company.
In addition, our team will ensure your company has an impeccable online reputation by responding to any negative, false or misleading comments that have been made. We also employ highly effective backlinking and SEO techniques to ensure such comments do not rank highly in Google and other popular search engines.
Where appropriate, we will also engage industry related websites, blogs and forums (non-financial) to assist in getting your message across.
- Management Visability
We will record interviews with your company’s CEO/Senior Management and broadcast on various web 2.0 sites and finance forums that allow multimedia streaming. We can also publish other video presentations of your company.
- Quarterbacked Promotion
From time to time, and depending on client requirements, it may be desirable to engage the services of outside stock awareness firms. Typically we do so in order to capture a wider ranging audience, casting a wider net. If we undertake such an approach, we only deal with highly reputable and effective firms that meet our strict requirements.
There are only a very small group of stock promotion / stock awareness websites around that are effective at generating the kind of liquidity you are seeking. Whilst this is generally only short term, we only deal with the best. We keep up to date with all stock awareness campaigns and continually monitor the performance of our stock awareness partners.
