Navigating Change with Confidence: Communication in Mergers, Acquisitions and Restructuring Processes
The acquisition of a company is a complex undertaking. Employees, the capital market, trade unions, and even politics at both the local and national levels must each be addressed and convinced with the right messages. Media statements, texts, websites, Q&As, and much more need to be prepared. And for everything, there must be a Plan B in place, in case things don’t go as expected.
It becomes even more challenging when your company is the one being acquired. In this case, there is no preparation time. Yet, it is crucial that no mistakes are made. We will help you quickly define the course your communication should take. We can seamlessly complement your internal communication teams with our own manpower, ensuring your company operates at a high professional level from the very first hours.
In economically challenging times, restructuring is increasingly necessary—even for well-managed companies. It’s beneficial to have control over the process and take proactive steps against negative developments. We shape your communication strategy to ensure your company retains its voice and doesn’t become a pawn of external interests. We support you in maintaining trust in your leadership, making the restructuring process a success.
