(This blog post was inspired by insights Peita Diamantidis shared at “Amplify Your News: Using Digital Media to Grow Your Investor Following,” a recent IR event presented by IRM and Computershare.)

Digital media can help you engage with your investor community and advance your business. Particularly if you’re an ASX-listed small cap company. This means of communication will provide you a unique opportunity for personal connection with your investor audience.

What was the first thing you did when you woke up this morning? Checked your email? Twitter or Facebook?

Digital media, a combination of technology and content, is so much a part of our daily lives. Whether or not we choose to tap into it first thing in the morning, we turn to it one way or another at some point during the day.

Seen the latest website of Incremental Oil and Gas Ltd (ASX: IOG)? It just became more investor-friendly! Here’s how the oil and gas producing company tweaked its site for the better.

As part of efforts to boost investor relations, Incremental got down with IRM to redesign the website with modern colours and style. Advanced functionalities were also added to the site, which runs on HQi, IRM’s proprietary content management system.

We guess you’re as passionate about your online investor relations presence as we are. Reaching investors online, at the touchpoints of their choosing and at the time they choose, is the main challenge of online IR activities. We’re happy to help with our suggestions, specifically tailored for you.

Perhaps your email strategies need a lift, or your social media presence needs to work harder for you. Does your home page help people like you, get the key messages through, and “Sell” the first click?

Maybe your Investor Centre could use more pages? You’d want your current dividends or capital structure to stand out, right?

Australian Potash Limited (ASX:APC) rolled out a brand-new website to enhance its online investor presence.

The minerals exploration company picked out its colours, content and images for the full website powered by HQi, IRM’s proprietary content management system. Essential info about the company, its board and management team are well presented in the site. Its many projects are detailed, with vibrant photos laid out in an image gallery.

IRM unveiled investor-focused websites for Seymour Whyte Limited (ASX:SWL) and its two divisions. The infrastructure, engineering and construction firm holds a group portfolio that consists of Seymour Whyte Constructions and Rob Carr Pty Ltd, its civil and utilities infrastructure divisions, respectively.

When was the last time you connected with your investors? Communicating with shareholders is undeniably a vital element of a well-managed ASX-listed company. And a corporate blog is a simple yet direct channel you can use to meet this communication need.

A company blog is a user-friendly platform that empowers a business to engage with the investor community, including current and potential stockholders. Think of it as a short thoughtful letter that contains timely and relevant information to your stakeholders. It’s also a reliable source of data where venture capitalists and angel investors can consider a prospective investment in your business.

IRM worked in partnership with Pilbara Minerals Limited (ASX:PLS) to develop the latest website of the emerging lithium and tantalum producer. Pilbara is focused on the development of its world-class 100% owned Pilgangoora Lithium-Tantalum Project in Western Australia.

IRM deployed its HQi content management system to build and run the cutting-edge webpage, using Pilbara’s selected colours, content and images. Among its many purposeful facets, the website’s home page showcases a share price promo box and interactive 3D animations on projects.

Some readers of ASX Announcements containing links to web pages (or email addresses) have been frustrated with an apparent inconsistency in whether the links are clickable or not. This note provides some guidance on a way to include links in a PDF document so that they will (almost always) work on the recipients’ technology.

IRM recently revitalised the website of AUB Group Limited (ASX:AUB) as part of efforts to reinforce the company’s investor relations. AUB Group is a leading equity-based risk management, advice and solutions provider in Australasia.

Under the direction of AUB Group, IRM implemented a fresh design for the site’s home page that includes a live share price chart and ASX updates, among other modifications. Powered by IRM’s HQi content management system, the webpage likewise carries a visual timeline to showcase the company’s rich corporate history.

Melbana Energy (ASX:MAY) partnered with IRM to launch a robust website in a bid to expand the company’s online presence. Presently, the oil and gas enterprise has a portfolio of exploration, appraisal and development stage opportunities in Cuba, New Zealand, Ashmore Cartier and Bonaparte Gulf regions in Australia

IRM launched a state-of-the-art web page of Tap Oil Limited (ASX:TAP), an independent oil and gas exploration and production company. TAP is based in Perth and has interests in South East Asia and Australia.

IRM implemented its scalable HQi content management system to develop and power the site based on TAP’s desired layout and colour theme. Though the web page is now live, HQi still gives TAP the option to modify the site’s content, images and navigation as needed.

IRM and Dawson Insurance collaborated to launch an innovative website for the New Zealand-based insurance and risk specialist.

Dawson Insurance provides specially tailored business and personal insurance, as well as coverage for specialist industries. The insurer engaged IRM’s HQi content management system to create easy-to-navigate pages that offer a wide range of risk management options for clients’ personal or business protection.

As part of our improved support arrangement and ongoing efforts to make all work on your site transparent we have now updated the HQi content management system to include your support history, which includes status and notes from our Support Team.
