Philosophy

A successful corporate communication lives on perceivability oft the language, consistency and transparency as well as the right identification of information needs of the addressee (shareholder, business partner and stakeholder). Corporate communication lives on trust of journalists and addressees in the statements and images given by companies and its protagonists.

Establishing the maxims trust, transparency and continuity binds resources and takes time. In addition, a sensitive feeling for what the public needs with regard to information and an instinct for the correct timing are indispensable for a coherent overall concept for communicating new information and messages.

rikutis consulting offers hands-on support and strategic consultancy; it offers you an independent opinion and forges links to journalists and the capital market.

Communication is worthwhile for every company: a self-determined level of awareness, favorable commercial and emotional positioning with regard to the financial market, clients, suppliers, and the public. For exchange-listed companies communication targets a fair evaluation and thereby on a durable access to the capital market on attractive terms.

The impact of experienced communication consultancy can be measured – and has manifest results. That is the standard we set ourselves.

rikutis consulting masters communication.
