Simply put, investor relations (IR) is a strategic function focused on communicating information about a company to its investors. In practice, however, IR is anything but simple. IR integrates finance, communication, marketing, and securities law to give an accurate account of the companys affairs so that investors (and other stakeholders) can make informed decisions about investing in a company. In the resource sector, exploration companies also need to communicate complex technical information, often running IR programs on singularly small budgets. This critical course will give you the tools you need to develop an effective, strategic, and scalable investor relations program on a shoestring, boots-strapping budget. A key focus will be on creating and delivering easy to understand news releases and engaging presentations.
