  • Problem.AIM-listed company Crimson Tide wanted to better understand their shareholder base and identify their retail investors. The leadership team were looking to communicate more frequently with both existing and prospective investors without incurring recurring fees for external distribution channels. Traditional IR methods left them without direct ownership of investor relationships or a clear way to gather actionable feedback.
  • Solution.With InvestorHub’s D2I approach, Crimson Tide took control of their investor journey. They launched a campaign around their interim results webinar, driving investors directly to their site, inviting questions, and making the webinar accessible anytime.
  • Impact.The response was immediate: an investor described the webinar as “illuminating and encouraging,” then increased their shareholding. By owning the audience and engagement, Crimson Tide gets direct feedback from their investor base, allowing them to refine their messaging and build stronger relationships with investors.

    Owning the retail investor journey.

    Crimson Tide’s shift to InvestorHub’s D2I (Direct-to-Investor) strategy is the perfect use case for how companies can create real ownership over real investor relationships.

    Traditionally, webinars and events are managed through third parties, resulting in a fragmented audience and minimal follow-up capability. With this approach, companies often lose touch with retail investors after the first point of contact – this is particularly frustrating as there is often not an answer to “what next?” after webinars.

    With the D2I approach, every engagement—whether it’s an announcement, webinar, or Q&A—is hosted on Crimson Tide’s own channels, capturing valuable data about their investors. It’s simple, the company gains unparalleled insights into investor sentiment which they use to tailor communications and continuously refine their engagement strategy.

    By owning these relationships, Crimson Tide creates a seamless and informed investor journey, strengthening trust and transparency.
    "The recent webinar we hosted through the InvestorHub platform was eye-opening... not just for our investors but for us as well. One passionate investor even called afterward to say he found it ‘illuminating and encouraging’ and later increased his shareholding.

    Having investors able to access content on their own time and engage and provide feedback to us directly means we get valuable insights that drive our future communications.”

    D2I in action

    Crimson Tide's interim results webinar.

    Awareness

    To increase awareness around their interim results, Crimson Tide launched a multi-channel campaign. Emails, social media posts, and direct communications all pointed investors back to their interactive hub, where the shareholder Q&A webinar was hosted.

    These efforts consolidated all communications and created a single source of truth for investors. The webinar served as a high-impact touchpoint to capture investor attention, introducing more retail investors to the company’s narrative.

    Results: Rather than relying on traditional third-party platforms, Crimson Tide ensured that awareness didn’t stop at event attendance. By driving traffic to their own investor hub, the company ensured that investors remained within their ecosystem for future updates and interactions.

    Intent

    Post-webinar activities were just as critical as the event itself. Feedback loops were built directly into the process, allowing investors to share their thoughts and ask additional questions.

    The recording was made accessible asynchronously on their hub, allowing Crimson Tide to maintain a two-way dialogue with their audience well beyond the webinar.

    Results: One standout example came from an investor who reached out after viewing the webinar, describing it as “illuminating and encouraging.” This feedback not only validated Crimson Tide’s approach but also strengthened the relationship with this investor, who ultimately increased their shareholding.

    Insights like this were only possible because Crimson Tide had the infrastructure to gather direct and feedback from their investor audience.

    Conversion & Retention.

    Crimson Tide’s D2I strategy allowed them to establish a repeatable model for investor engagement. Each stage—from webinar promotion to post-event interactions—was designed to drive investors back to them, ensuring data and feedback were captured in-house.

    Results: Crimson Tide successfully turned a single webinar into a long-term communication strategy. By hosting the webinar themselves and capturing first-party data, management gained valuable insights into investor behaviour, including identifying which investors bought, sold, or held shares after the event.

    Owning the investor audience made it possible to maintain meaningful communication well beyond the webinar. They streamlined communication workflows, reduced time and resource demands, and gathered actionable insights to shape future communications.
