CCG Announces New White Paper on Social Media Strategy for Investor Relations

LOS ANGELES, California – September 16, 2011— CCG Investor Relations ("CCG"), a leading US-headquartered global investor relations and strategic communications agency, today announced the release of a new white paper, entitled, "Social Media Strategy for Investor Relations," which examines best practices regarding the use of social media in Investor Relations (IR) and discusses recommended planning and implementation strategies for incorporating social media into an effective overall investor communications program.

According to CCG’s new white paper, “Through social media, investor relations executives can target the right audience while maintaining a consistent image, which in turn builds shareholder loyalty and increases the return on investment of investor outreach efforts.”

The paper covers a variety of key elements for public companies to consider when developing a social media platform, such as establishing internal policies and regulatory compliance. The document also includes valuable guidance on how to:

-Create and Maintain an Attractive Online Presence

-Use Web-based Tools to Evaluate the Impact of the IR Program

-Engage, Share and Interact with Shareholders through Interactive Channels

-Apply Focused Campaigns to Target Shareholders

-Invite Ideas and Tailor Future Communications

“Many IR officers and CFOs recognize the potential power of social media but may be intimidated by the technology and regulatory issues or hesitant to take on an additional time commitment,” said Crocker Coulson, President of CCG Investor Relations. “This paper draws on the best practices derived from studying many of the most innovative public companies in the world and lays out a manageable framework to harness social media to build shareholder loyalty and awareness.”
