We’re pleased to provide you with the February 2009 edition of The AGORACOM Client Intelligence Report. For those of you who didn’t receive our last report or are new clients of AGORACOM, you can now find an archive of these reports on our blog here. Â For confidentiality reasons, all “Off The Blog” items mentioned in these reports are not mentioned in the blog posts.
WHY AN “INTELLIGENCE REPORT”
For the benefit of our new clients, we call this an “Intelligence Report” because it provides you with important information, data and trends that impact your business – information that you normally don’t have time to find. We often write about these in The AGORACOM Blog, so we call these “On The Blog” Stories.
In addition, this newsletter gives you a chance to look into our crystal ball and know what AGORACOM is working on months before the general public. You can’t find these tidbits on our blog, so we call them “Off The Blog” and ask that you keep them confidential.
As you know, we move faster than any IR firm on the planet, so knowing what we’re doing in advance helps both of us coordinate our activities. This is especially true for what we expect to be an extremely fast moving and exciting year in 2009.
In short, greater market intelligence that puts you ahead of all of your peers.
I can’t stress enough my recommendation that you review our monthly newsletter carefully for the purposes of incorporating some of our market intelligence into both your IR and business initiatives.
AGORACOM is now the largest small-cap IR firm and site on the continent thanks to our effective use of web technology. As such, following us will help you achieve your goals.
OFF THE BLOG … Shhhhh
