TMC focuses on financial, international and corporate public relations, investor relations and global capital solutions, linking a comprehensive understanding of your business with our practice areas to deliver superlative, senior-level service.
Financial Public Relations
Our corporate communications practice spans media relations, M&A, divestitures, bankruptcy and restructurings, crisis communications, marketing and thought leadership, pivoting off an extensive track record to build and implement winning programs that reach each of your key audiences the right way.
Your success is our success.
M&A, Buyouts, Divestitures, Restructurings, JVs, Financial Events, Startups & Crisis
When the stakes are high, the caliber and integrity of your advisers becomes mission-critical. This is particularly so when your company becomes involved in a transformational event such as a merger, acquisition, divestiture or restructuring.
When these transactions occur, you need to know how the news of your strategic moves will be interpreted by all of the audiences critical to your company's success, and you need to reach out to each one of them in the right way, delivering the right messages, at the right time.
Pivoting off our extensive track record in this arena, we help you create and implement winning media, investor relations and employee communications programs to reach each of your key constituencies in the most logical, productive and effective fashion.
Our methodology in this area reflects the need to:
- Identify key messages and the appropriate communications vehicles for them
- Pinpoint all key audiences
- Develop a communications timeline
- Rehearse key principals
- Implement the strategy
- Monitor and report on the results
In merger, acquisition and crisis situations, we bring more than 45 years of combined experience gained from deals that made the headlines, often across borders. We know the communications demands these situations dictate, and we deliver on them.
Media & Crisis Training
Media training involves the specialized preparation of executives and officials to meet the media and effectively communicate key messages (about your company's strategy and capabilities, a new product, or industry trends) and may involve specialized approaches for effective communications in a crisis.
Among the benefits media training provides are:
- Better control of interviews through a positive, proactive approach to telling your company's story
- A deeper understanding of how journalists work and how to maximize opportunities for positive coverage
- Greater clarity in presenting complex information concisely
- Enhanced focus on key messages and positive information; less rambling
- Ultimately, more effective media interviews and better editorial coverage
In a high-stakes crisis situation, where the very future of your organization's image, and even its existence may be at stake, our training helps you minimize potential damage to both your image and your bottom line.
A typical session begins with a brief, focused presentation, “Understanding The Media,” including the key message points that provide the road map for the interviews that follow. The majority of the session is then spent practicing interviews, which are videotaped for immediate playback and an in-depth, constructive critique. Our sessions are highly tailored and personalized. There is nothing generic about them.
Thought Leadership: Multi-Platform Writing
Thought leadership is a way of marketing by articulating your views on the issues that matter to your audiences. It is an opportunity to show clients, prospects and the business community that you have the knowledge and insights to solve their most pressing problems, through a speech, a bylined article, analysis of a survey's findings or numerous other modes of communication.
It might encompass your proprietary view on a specific issue, cutting-edge thinking on tomorrow's challenges, or general insights into an industry's outlook, but your response must be grounded in your intellectual capital and speak specifically to your audience's concerns.
Whether you are discussing critical economic issues or a specific short-term problem, your response should cut right to the heart of the matter. You must have a point of view and be able to back it up with facts and figures. You can have an agenda, but making a sale should not be central to it; issues-based marketing is a subtle means to that end.
Investor Relations
TMC's goal in investor relations is to enhance your company's market value, our clients' communications, and level of visibility with current and prospective investors in both debt and equity markets, as well as the buy-side and sell-side analyst communities.
Your success is our success.

Capital Advisory
We focus on complex capital solution needs that best serve our clients' needs, drawing on deep understanding of credit, capital and the derivatives markets.
Your success is our success.
Capital AdvisoryOur Approach
If you are trying to raise money, you face several variables irrespective of broader market conditions. Not all investors have the same risk appetite and profile, and financial institutions do not invest easily. When an investment proposition becomes international, further complexities enter the picture, and you need the edge that a well-crafted, farsighted capital-raising effort can bring.
Our capital-raising efforts build upon many years of capital markets, corporate finance and international deal knowledge, based on transactions we have worked on first-hand across M&As, restructurings, bankruptcies and buyouts, in different risk profiles, industries, global locations and cultures.
Our experience, topped with deep and longstanding relationships in the marketplace, is the basis of our approach: making our clients' investment propositions well understood, coupled with tailor-made study and outreach to carefully selected investors who best suit the deal at hand. We work as your partners for as long as you need us, never losing sight of your ultimate goal: fundraising success.

Our capital advisory support is particularly geared to your funding needs, M&A, divestiture and joint-venture endeavors, as well as restructurings. Our multicultural experience and understanding of local markets, and how they work, are valuable assets to build upon as you look to raise the capital you seek.
We provide counsel on local and international deals that fall under the radar screen of investment banks, whether for size, risk or compensation requirements.
Our capital advisory support is geared to your local or international financial events of:
- M&A
- Divestitures
- JV endeavors

The content of your investment proposal can make or break your success. We first help you see it through the eyes of your target investors, and prepare it in Wall Street's precise financial language. We start with optimum capital-structure suggestions and ensure your proposition gets across with the right content embedded in it.
Our team consists of US and international capital markets professionals who, throughout their careers at leading investment banks and accounting firms, have worked on innumerable investor presentations and information memorandums. We couple this with the nearly unparalleled market and credit-cycle seasoning of our team, anticipating critical investor concerns and addressing them ahead of time. If you already have a presentation and information memorandum, we fine-tune it with the eyes of an investor to enhance your overall success ratio.
Capital Raising
As your advisor, we can help you raise capital, in the US or internationally, depending on your needs and investor targeting. Each type of capital requires its own specific expertise, and we tailor each investment proposition in the most advantageous way possible, factoring in all key variables.
