Investor engagement for public companies
For companies on OTC Markets, the CSE, the TSX Venture Exchange, Nasdaq, and NYSE American, we run the investor relations, awareness, and communications work that keeps a company visible between news events, with every paid placement disclosed.
Situations we're built for
- You listed, and nobody noticed
- New listings and RTOs often start with a thin, unfamiliar shareholder base. We build the story, the channels, and the first months of news flow.
- Your news isn't reaching anyone
- Real milestones, no new eyes. We fix distribution with a news calendar, official channels, and disclosed awareness.
- You're planning to uplist
- We map the gap to Nasdaq or NYSE American standards and build the investor story for the new market.

Public company questions
Which markets do you work with?
We work with companies quoted or listed on OTC Markets (OTCQX, OTCQB, and the OTCID Basic Market), the Canadian Securities Exchange, the TSX Venture Exchange, Nasdaq, and NYSE American, and with private companies preparing for any of them.
Is paid stock promotion legal?
Paying to publicize a stock is legal in the United States when the content is truthful and not misleading and the compensation is disclosed. Section 17(b) of the Securities Act of 1933 requires anyone paid to describe a security to disclose that they received payment and how much. Promoters are also subject to the anti-fraud rules, and paid creators must follow the FTC's endorsement disclosure rules.
Can you run a campaign while we're raising capital?
Only if your securities counsel approves the timing. Promotional activity during an offering can create legal risk, so we plan awareness work around offerings and blackout periods with your counsel.
What is uplisting?
Uplisting is moving a company's shares from a lower-tier market, such as OTC Markets, to a national securities exchange such as Nasdaq or NYSE American. It requires meeting the exchange's initial listing standards and corporate governance rules, and it is usually a project of several months.
