Citigate Dewe Rogerson has one of the most recognised names in international public relations.
When Citigate and Dewe Rogerson merged in 1999 it was a marriage of two companies that had been involved in some of the most significant events in the development of modern capital markets.
A major force in financial and corporate communications
Since then, the Company expanded internationally through Europe, Asia and now the Middle East. As with other professional services firms Citigate structures itself across sector lines with specialists dedicated to the industries they cover. These teams are reinforced by experts in public policy, investor relations, research, broadcast and digital communications.
Over the last ten years Citigate has grown into a company which spans all the public relations disciplines. It is ranked by the Financial Times mergermarket in 2009, as in other years, as one of the leading M&A advisers. It is also recognised as the market leader in global IPOs in all the main and emerging financial markets.
Citigate in Singapore has advised on 200 IPOs including the first Singapore company to be listed on NASDAQ and the first US Fortune 500 company to list in Singapore. Citigate Hong Kong worked on the world’s biggest IPO to date, the US$21.9 billion flotation of the world’s biggest bank, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. As capital markets have revived during the course of 2009 Citigate in the Netherlands has advised on the largest IPO in Western Europe, Delta Lloyd and that of KKR Private Equity Investors. Citigate Hong Kong has completed the IPO of CPVC, one of China’s biggest insurance companies.
Our ambition
A critical element that distinguishes Citigate from its major rivals is that it can offer the full range of communications services to companies, both domestically and internationally. Not only does this reduce its exposure to the volatility of the financial markets creating a well-balanced business but it also gives it the opportunity to expand relationships so that it can be the global agency of choice for major corporations. Citigate’s aim is to extend its network of offices to ensure it can achieve that objective.
All Citigate’s offices advise some of the world’s biggest financial institutions, banks and asset managers. Citigate’s office in Paris has recently been appointed public relations advisers to Rothschild et Cie Gestion, the investment bank, asset and wealth manager and the London office has been selected by the London Stock Exchange.
Reputation building
This financial expertise is to be expected given Citigate’s background but the range of our expertise enables us to design and execute communications programmes which build and protect corporate reputations. Our healthcare expertise ranges from fund raising for oncology companies to promoting heart health and dental implants.
We launch investment funds, broad band services and food brands. We organise grass roots lobbying via social media to influence government policy and have also advised the Chief Executive of Hong Kong, Donald Tsang on both his electoral campaigns, the first ever held in Hong Kong.
Whether you work with Citigate in Beijing or in London our paramount concern is to help clients achieve their business objectives.
