Societal demands on economy and industry are growing. The public is becoming more critical. Politics less transparent. The state more influential. The density of regulations is increasing.
In other words: Dynamism is a permanent condition. Transformation is standard. The stakeholder economy requires companies to deliver more than just positive business figures. With good reason, proprietors, customers, employees, politicians, and the media are asking for more.
Communication is the key to long-term success. We support you in efficiently managing this challenge. With experience, passion, and agility.
Unique in Germany: We offer the integrated Fuchs & Cie. Approach comprising strategic advice, operational support, and a comprehensive network. Or any other component critical for your success.
We combine our know-how in politics, media and economy with databased information and a strategic perspective on your business model. We develop an intelligent strategy that will convince your customers. Whether you are preparing for a sprint or a marathon.
We assist you in successfully implementing your strategy. And stand by your side throughout the day. By generating content or analyses, offering project management, research, monitoring, or personal support ahead of crucial discussions. On point, wherever you require additional resources.
Take advantage of our strategic access. Be part of our network in civil society, politics, media, and economy. We support you in communicating your issues towards all relevant decision makers – in a transparent and proactive manner. Because you will only achieve your goals with the backing of your stakeholders.
We provide you with targeted advice and support. Proprietors, capital market players, employees, customers, media, politics, or civil society. With the right strategy and convincing messages. On all channels. With all relevant stakeholders. To create true added value for you and your business.
Companies of all sizes need to actively communicate – internally and externally. Interlocked. Stringent. Strategic. Long-term entrepreneurial success requires regular contact with proprietors, capital market players, employees, customers, media, politics, and civil society. It is the only way, to understand and consolidate divergent interests. And to preserve trust and credibility.
Communication and reputation have become a measurable factor of success. Due to the breadth of social media, this applies to national and global level, to the local and regional sphere alike. The more transparent and faster markets get, the more important is active communication. We can support you in your strategic positioning and the effective representation of your interest.
It is also crucial to take emotions and needs of all internal stakeholders seriously. We can support you in all matters of internal communication. Make your company’s history, goals, and strategy understandable to establish the basis for a dialogue-oriented company culture. Make your employees ambassadors of your company.
Today, more than an excellent track record or the right business strategy is required to be a long-term successful manager. Obtaining the “license to lead” is crucial. Towards all stakeholders of the company and on a personal level. Globally. Faster than ever.
We support you in your role as CEO, member of the supervisory board or manager, to raise your personal profile. Based on a comprehensive analysis. We put your strategy in a nutshell. Ensuring that proprietors, capital market players, employees, customers, media, politics, or civil society understand it. An we can also offer you suitable training modules that prepare you for interviews or discussion rounds.
Political and civil society’s influence on companies and organizations is greater than ever. On all political levels. Regulations in Germany are increasing every day. Structures are becoming more complex, interrelations more difficult, interests and protagonists more diverse. The rules of politics are changing constantly. The “back-room” is history.
We know how politics on national, European, state, and regional level function. Also, in the digital sphere. We understand the pattern of thoughts, structures, processes, and interdependencies. We reduce complexity and clearly dissect your issues. We support you with research, positioning, and networking – from local politics to Brussels. Online and offline. Digitally and analogue. But always with a clear goal.
We analyse the political and regulatory framework for your individual project.
When a company is about to make important decisions, the following often holds true: evaluations, milieu and external stakeholders are equally important as key figures and legal risks.
We support you with Political Due Diligence. Fast, precise, with background knowledge and a comprehensive network. We facilitate strategic realignments, company acquisitions, the development of new business segments, major investment decisions, or tapping new markets.
We create transparency and a resilient basis for decisions.
Successful financial communication decisively influences the prosperity of corporations. Effective positioning towards investors, analysts, and media is key for a positive capital market evaluation. Therefore, clear and targeted messages are essential for the communication of the business strategy and equity story.
We support you in the communication of your quarterly and annual figures, the preparation of your annual general meeting and with all issues relevant for your share price. With our know-how and tailor-made solutions, we also assist you in special situations, for example with activist shareholders. For your capital market success. And to the satisfaction of your shareholders.
Legal disputes are not limited to court rooms anymore. They expand to the public, social media, TV shows, newspapers, and comment columns. Sought or not: All stakeholders get involved. Form their opinion. This directly affects your business success and shareholder value. Effective and honest communication with clear messages towards all stakeholders becomes more and more important before, during and after legal disputes.
We are at your side. Developing a comprehensive communication strategy with process-related assistance in line with your legal strategy. And in close coordination with your lawyers. To protect your interests also in the public sphere.
Every company can face situations that are not part of normal business operations. Special situation. Now, proper communication is crucial. Belittlement, appeasement and waiting to respond are no solution. The media and public begin to ask questions, especially when they assume information is held back.
Whether environmental damage, product recalls, investigations by a prosecutor, legal proceedings, critical disputes with competitors, or a sudden change of management: crises constrain your entrepreneurial scope. The number of options to act is decreasing with the hour. Crises do not allow for mistakes. Credibility is essential to prevent reputational damage. We offer support. 24/7.
We also offer special support in case of insolvency. Insolvency administrators and management need to create transparency and maintain or gain trust among employees, clients, suppliers, and the public. Professional communication facilitates the achievement of these goals. We provide strategic and operational assistance for insolvency administrators and corporate management to increase the chances of a successful reorganization.
Call it turning point or the fourth industrial revolution. Fact is: today, actions of companies are characterized by permanent upheaval. It is therefore necessary to further develop corporate organizations and transform business models in order to survive on the market and secure the “license to lead”. Sometimes, even strategic reorientation and fundamental structural redesign might be the way to go.
We support you in communicating change in a comprehensible way. Not only to the outside world. But above all to proprietors, customers, and employees. Because transformation is only successful if you succeed in convincing and inspiring your internal stakeholders. Your employees must identify with the company's purpose and your goals. Then they will support your strategy and become valuable ambassadors. And strengthen your reputation in the market and public.
