By Amanda Hamilton, CEO of NALP

It’s important for a business, especially an online business, that your customers know clearly what they are purchasing and what your terms of business are.

Top Tips for Monetizing Your Followers Through Publishing

By Dan Kieran, co-founder and CEO of Unbound

As a result, 75% of Generation Z, the first generation with no concept of life without the internet, are considering a career in online video.

Even though publicly quoted companies first sought funding through stock exchanges in the 17^th century, the concept of Investor Relations (IR) – as a crucial part of this process – is a relatively modern discipline: the first actual IR department did not emerge until the 1950’s.

Nowadays, the importance of investor relations cannot be overstated – in Brazil, Egypt and Bulgaria, companies are mandated by law to have an IR function – and it is no coincidence that the most successful, global giants consistently lead the field in ‘best practice’ awards: the 2018 winner – as voted for by the IR Society – was Easyjet. Morrisons and Tesco were also shortlisted.

There are five key reasons why maintaining good investor relations is critical to your success:
