    • Positioning and Transformation

      Good communication is a coherent overall picture. It is made up of many mosaic pieces. The starting point is usually perception: how do different target groups view a company, a high-profile individual or an important change? How can these perceptions be changed, guided and shaped so that they become congruent? On that basis, the specific characteristics of institutions or individuals need to be brought out clearly. IRF develops analyses and concepts for positioning and change processes. And supports implementation.

    • Financial and Capital Market Communication

      Listed companies are particularly exposed and their communication is highly regulated. IRF supports them in ongoing communication with the capital market and in special projects. IRF knows the institutions and players in the financial market, along with their needs and priorities. We are financially literate and familiar with the rules of the stock exchange and financial market supervision.

    • Media Relations and Social Media

      Because of their independent analysis, the media play a key role in the public perception of organisations and individuals. IRF has long-standing, excellent relationships with business media throughout Switzerland. At the same time, however, traditional media are losing interpretive power and reach. Meanwhile, social and digital media have gained in importance. IRF is familiar with their mechanisms.

    • Crisis Communication

      When decisions have to be made under stress and uncertainty, IRF shows what those decisions mean for reputation and recommends an approach appropriate to the situation. IRF also provides operational support, from developing the messages and preparing executives to coordinating and implementing internal and external communication. And we remain a critical mind and constructive partner until the crisis has been overcome.

    • Public Affairs

      Regulatory pressure is increasing worldwide. Managing political risks and processes is becoming ever more important for companies. IRF combines political, capital market and industry expertise for clients operating at the intersection of business and government, and expands their room for manoeuvre through advice on strategy, organisation and processes, as well as contacts with political decision-makers.
