Media, Reputation and Investor
communications advisory
With the rise of the reputation economy, the rules of engagement have fundamentally changed
Relationships have been redefined.
The rules have been rewritten
AT MORELL & CO WE LISTEN HARD, ENGAGE CONSTANTLY AND AMPLIFY YOUR MESSAGE.
The currency of the new economy is trust, influence and reputation capital. But today we face a new world order - a fundamental shift in trust, where technology is rewriting the rules and redefining every relationship.
At Morell & Co we help position your company as a long-term and trusted brand by building the bank of trust and effectively communicating the brand promise with business storytelling that has impact.
One of the biggest challenges facing companies and leaders today is how to build reputation capital and preserve it, restore it and manage it in a complex, ambiguous and volatile environment that is rapidly changing.
Coupled with today’s dramatically changing news and information landscape, and the terminal pressure of digital disruption, it has become increasingly difficult to build reputation capital and successfully engage and influence.
Managing your message and building a contagious, authentic story platform is crucial. We achieve this by developing and positioning the most relevant, informative and engaging stories for your leaders, brands and organisation across traditional and non-traditional channels. We bring powerful narratives to life that build connections and credibility, and drive audience behaviour.
Businesses trade on trust and reputations run very deep and wide. Our goal is to build a chorus of advocates and cheerleaders for you and your brand by amplifying your message with investors, consumers, employees and media.
We help build, enhance and protect enterprise value.
At Morell & Co we believe insight is everything. Spotting coincidences, trends, connections and contradictions can help ensure you see what others don’t. Insights are at the heart of our strategic approach to building reputation capital.

The changing regulatory environment and IPO communications
IPO communications, media relations and marketing is a specialised exercise as ASIC and the ASX proactively regulates the process to maintain confidence in our capital markets. Prospectuses are important for investors considering an investment in an IPO, but there is real scope for improvement to enhance credibility across the spectrum.
In ASIC’s most recent report on the subject, it found that investors are impacted strongly by financial media, including mainstream and subscription services. ASIC is currently considering the following steps to improve investor decision making: engaging with stakeholders to encourage them to provide greater accessibility to management for investors, reviewing online investor forums and social media, broadening its regular monitoring of financial media, and providing additional information about the IPO process to retail investors. It is critical to keep on top of these changes to manage a successful IPO program in the future.
