The Impact of Social Media on Chinese Public Companies
·  CCG and Deutsche Bank host webinar led by IR Magazine’s Neil Stewart
 
New York, NY and Beijing, CHINA– February 21, 2012— CCG Investor Relations ("CCG"), a leading US-headquartered global investor relations and strategic communications agency, today announced an upcoming webinar that will discuss how the rapid evolution of social media is changing the way that Chinese companies communicate with investors and manage their reputations in the new split-second, viral world of always-on communications. Co-sponsored by Deutsche Bank’s ADR group, the panelists will seek to provide CEOs, CFOs, IROs and investors a broad perspective on the implications that social media is having on the capital markets on both sides of the ocean.

The event will be moderated by Neil Stewart, editor-at-large of IR Magazine and speakers in the discussion will be:

  • Crocker Coulson, President, CCG Investor Relations 
     
  • Alan Hellawell, Managing Director, TMT Head/Tech Strategist, Deutsche Bank Research
     
  • Sylvie Luk, TMT Analyst, iMeigu.com and Snowball Finance
 
“The social media revolution is creating unique challenges for Chinese companies in how they disclose information to investors, manage their corporate reputations, and respond to viral transmission of market-moving information,” said Crocker Coulson, President of CCG Investor Relations. “The number of Facebook’s active users has grown to 845 million and will eventually surpass the population of China if growth trends are sustained. And yet Chinese citizens cannot access common social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, which have become a core part of many global companies’ marketing strategies.
 
“At the same time, domestic platforms such as Sina Weibo have become increasingly important sources of unmediated corporate information and market-moving rumors. In this fast evolving landscape, Chinese companies are well advised to develop a comprehensive social media strategy that encompasses branding, disclosure, investor relations and crisis communications. The webinar will offer the perspectives of experts on the front lines of capital markets, IR and financial journalism.” 
 
Among the topics that the speakers will address include:
 
  • What are the implications of the pending Facebook IPO for social media and Internet stocks from China?
  • How are leading global companies employing social media to drive greater engagement with their shareholders?
  • How are domestic social media platforms changing the way that analysts and financial journalists research and cover Chinese companies?
  • Who will be the winners and losers in the coming social media consolidation in China and what role will government policy play in this fast evolving market?
 
The webinar will take place on Thursday, March 8, 2012 at 9 a.m. Beijing/Hong Kong time, (Wednesday, March 7, at 8 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time) and is designed for CEOs, CFOs, and IR officers of Chinese companies listed overseas, as well as interested investors and advisors to Chinese public companies.

CCG和德意志银行将主办“社交媒体对中国上市公司的影响”网络研讨会，会议由《投资者关系》杂志主编 Neil Stewart主持

纽约和中国北京-2012年2月16日，全球领先的投资者关系和战略传播机构CCG投资者关系（“CCG”），宣布即将举办“社交媒体对中国上市公司的影响”在线研讨会。该研讨会将探讨在网络社交媒体迅速发展的今天，中国上市企业如何利用这个新兴平台与投资者进行沟通，以及在这个信息瞬间共享化和持久化的时代，如何管理企业在线品牌和网络声誉。本次活动由德意志银行美国存托凭证（ADR）部门共同协办，嘉宾们将就上市公司首席执行官、首席财务官、投资者关系总监们关心的相关问题，提供视角广阔的见解和理念，同时对于社交媒体在大洋两岸中美资本市场上的作用和影响，阐述各自的看法。

本次活动将由《投资者关系》杂志的主编Neil Stewart主持，发言嘉宾包括了：

  • Crocker Coulson， CCG投资者关系总裁
  • Alan Hellawell，德意志银行研究部董事总经理，电信、媒体和科技战略行业总监
  • Sylvie Luk ，i美股和雪球财经电信、媒体和科技行业分析师

“社交媒体革命为中国企业而言带来了许多挑战，例如如何正确及时地对投资者披露信息，如何管理企业声誉，如何预防控制对市场波动有影响的信息的病毒化传播，”CCG投资者关系公司总裁Crocker Coulson评论道。“Facebook的全球活跃用户数已增长到八亿四千五百万人，随着这一数字的持续增长，它将最终超过中国人口的总和。然而，中国内地民众目前无法访问像Facebook和Twitter这样的公共社交媒体平台，虽然它们很多已经成为许多国际化公司的营销战略核心。”
 
“与此同时，中国国内的社交媒体平台，诸如新浪微博等，已经成为企业信息和各种市场情报越来越重要的来源和移动中介平台。在这个快速变化的领域，中国企业应制定一个全面的社交媒体战略，包括品牌推广、信息披露、投资者关系和危机公关沟通各个方面。本次研讨会将提供来自资本市场前沿的权威人士以及投资者关系和财经新闻领域专家的观点和见解。”
 
研讨会的主要议题有：
  • 作为社交媒体典范，Facebook首次公开募股的影响，以及其对中国互联网和社交媒体概念股将带来什么影响？
  • 大型跨国企业如何运用社交媒体推动其与投资人之间的沟通？
  • 社交媒体如何改变分析师和财经记者获得中国企业信息的方式渠道，及如何影响他们研究观点的形成？
  • 谁将成为未来中国社交媒体行业竞争整合舞台上的赢家和输家，以及政府政策将如何在这个快速发展的市场上发挥作用？
 
本次研讨会将在北京/香港当地时间2012年3月8日周四上午9时举行（美国东部时间3月7日周三晚上8时）。本次研讨会为境外上市的中国公司首席执行官、首席财务官和投资者关系总监量身定制，同时也欢迎有兴趣的投资者和中国上市公司的顾问团队参加。
