Transaction Communications
Gain Stakeholder Support During Complex and High-Stakes Deals
The Challenge
Strategic transactions—including mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, privatizations, restructurings, and capital raises—are often transformational. But they also come with heightened scrutiny, market speculation, regulatory hurdles, and stakeholder uncertainty. MCI has been involved in $5.7 billion in corporate actions that include $3.1 billion in acquisitions and $2.6 billion in financings-all successful. But we have also watched how poor communication by companies can lead to valuation loss, reputational damage, employee attrition, deal failure, and even shareholder revolt.
Without a well-managed transaction communications strategy, companies risk losing control of the narrative and weakening stakeholder trust at a critical inflection point.
