Who We Are
African Is Cool was formed in 2006 to promote and implement web-based corporate
communications to enhance corporate governance and investor relations in Africa.
We do this not as a sideline to broking or public relations, or any other business,
but as our core focus.
Our definition of “investor relations” is that:
“Investor relations is a corporate governance responsibility that integrates finance,
communication, marketing and securities law compliance to enable effective, secure and
simultaneous two-way communication of critical financial information primarily through
the Internet, but also via a broad range of communication channels, to all shareowners
and stakeholders in order to promote fair equity valuation, management credibility and
enhance overall corporate reputation”
We provide listed companies in Africa with a complete, Africa-relevant investor relations
solution in order to ensure that African listed companies fulfill their basic corporate
governance obligations as they relate to shareholder and stakeholder communications. In
addition the implementation of best investor relations practices further refines the corporate
governance obligations which, in Africa, are primarily referenced to the King Code on Corporate
Governance, 2002.
Our core objectives are therefore to:-
- Remove all barriers to the use of technology in corporate communication and investor
relations in Africa
- Ensure that communications obligations toward shareholders and stakeholders are met
- Promote best investor relations practices and provide tangible improvements in corporate
governance
- Be at the forefront of innovation in communication for the benefit of our clients
- Promote investment into Africa
Our products mean that directors and management can concentrate on running their business
safe in the knowledge that all of the fears and issues that come with the management of
running a corporate website are removed, whilst at the same time differentiating their
company and their company’s management from their peers.
African Is Cool achieves these objectives in a seamless, effective, low cost way.
