Investor Relations & Strategic Advisory
Strategic investor communications that build confidence and attract capital
We help ASX-listed companies, pre-IPO businesses, and growth-stage ventures communicate their value to investors, analysts, and capital markets. From IPO roadshows to quarterly reporting narratives, we craft the story that moves markets.
Strong fundamentals, communicated poorly
Third Hemisphere's investor relations practice was built because we kept seeing the same problem: companies with strong fundamentals and genuine innovation struggling to attract capital because they could not articulate their value proposition to investors. The gap between what a company does and how it is perceived by the investment community is a communications problem, and it is one we solve every day.
A listing, a pre-IPO programme, and capital raises
We supported Gelion through its ASX listing. Its story reached institutional investors through coverage in Bloomberg, Reuters, and the AFR ahead of its market debut.
For OpenMarkets Group, we ran a sustained media programme ahead of its planned IPO. Regular market commentary from its executives placed the company in tier-one business and financial media, beside established market participants.
MONEYME has worked with us since 2014. Over that partnership we have secured over 60 media placements across national business and fintech media, and supported the company through multiple capital raising cycles.
The Waterfall Strategy: one story, every audience
Our approach to investor communications is built on what we call the Waterfall Strategy, ensuring that what you tell investors, what you tell media, what you tell customers, and what you tell employees is one consistent, authentic story that builds trust with every one of those audiences.
This consistency is critical in capital markets where mixed messaging creates uncertainty and erodes confidence. Every ASX announcement, investor presentation, and quarterly narrative we develop is designed to reinforce your investment thesis and demonstrate progress against the milestones that matter to the market.
- IPO and capital raising communications
- Quarterly reporting narratives and ASX announcements
- Investor presentation development
- Analyst and institutional investor briefings
- AGM and shareholder communications
- ESG and sustainability reporting

Our Investor Relations Approach
- Investment Thesis Development We work with your leadership team to crystallise the investment thesis: the clear, compelling story of why an investor should back your company, supported by evidence, milestones, and market opportunity.
- Audience Mapping We identify and prioritise the analysts, institutional investors, retail investor communities, and financial media that are most relevant to your company, sector, and capital structure.
- Narrative Integration Using our Waterfall Strategy, we ensure your investor narrative is consistent with your media messaging, customer communications, and internal narrative, building trust with each of those audiences.
- Communications Execution We draft ASX announcements, quarterly reporting narratives, investor presentations, AGM materials, and media statements, ensuring every communication reinforces your investment thesis and meets regulatory requirements.
- Market Monitoring We monitor analyst coverage, investor sentiment, peer company communications, and market trends to identify opportunities for proactive investor engagement and narrative refinement.
Who this is for
- ASX-listed companies that need to improve market communication and analyst coverage
- Pre-IPO companies preparing for listing that need to build the investor narrative and media presence
- Growth-stage companies raising capital who need to articulate their value proposition to institutional and VC investors
- Companies managing sensitive market events including capital raises, acquisitions, leadership changes, or regulatory challenges
- CFOs and company secretaries who want strategic communications support for quarterly reporting and AGMs
What this delivers
Capital Raising Advantage
A listing or a raise lands better when investors already know the story. For Gelion, we secured Bloomberg, Reuters, and AFR coverage ahead of its ASX listing. For OpenMarkets Group, we built a sustained profile in tier-one financial media ahead of its planned IPO. For MONEYME, we supported multiple capital raising cycles.
Analyst and Media Coverage
Analyst initiation and sustained media coverage are critical for listed companies. Our combined PR and investor relations approach ensures your company stays visible to the analysts and financial journalists whose coverage influences institutional investment decisions.
Regulatory Confidence
Our team understands ASX Listing Rules, continuous disclosure obligations, and ASIC guidelines. Every investor communication we produce is reviewed for regulatory compliance, giving your board and legal team confidence in what goes to market.
Does Third Hemisphere work with ASX-listed companies?
Yes. We supported Gelion through its ASX listing, with coverage in Bloomberg, Reuters, and the AFR. We work with listed companies and with companies preparing to list, and we plan every investor communication around the ASX Listing Rules and continuous disclosure obligations.
Can Third Hemisphere build a company's profile before an IPO?
Yes. For OpenMarkets Group, we ran a sustained media programme ahead of its planned IPO. Regular market commentary from its executives placed the company in tier-one business and financial media, beside established market participants.
How does continuous disclosure shape investor media?
Market-sensitive information goes to the ASX before it goes to a journalist. We plan media around that sequence, so coverage follows the announcement and never runs ahead of it. We draft every announcement and media statement for your board and legal counsel to approve before release.
What is the difference between investor relations and financial PR?
Investor relations speaks to the people who fund a company: shareholders, analysts, and institutional investors. Financial PR earns coverage in the media those people read. Third Hemisphere runs both from one team under the Waterfall Strategy, so investors, media, and customers hear one consistent story.
Can Third Hemisphere support a listed company through repeated capital raises?
Yes. MONEYME has worked with us since 2014. Over that partnership we have secured over 60 media placements across national business and fintech media, and supported the company through multiple capital raising cycles.
What does an investor relations engagement include?
An engagement can cover IPO and capital raising communications, quarterly reporting narratives, ASX announcement drafting, investor presentations, analyst and institutional investor briefings, AGM and shareholder communications, and ESG and sustainability reporting. We scope each one to the company's stage and its next market event.
