Shareholder communications
Effectiveness
The effectiveness of shareholder communications is too rarely measured by companies, but our work has tangible effects, such as:
- Independent investor research shows that Ericsson's annual reports have played a tangible role in changing perceptions among its investor base.
- Positive coverage for MFI in the broadsheet press, including The Times and The Telegraph.
- Saving 40% of Ericsson's annual report budget through innovation of format, production and distribution.
