Jeremy Jacobs, who has more than 25 years of financial PR experience, has joined August, the strategic communications shop, as a senior advisor.
From his DC perch, he will focus on financial transactions, shareholder activism, IR and business development.
Since February 2024, Jacobs had run Key Message LLC in the nation’s capital.
Earlier, he was managing director at H/Advisors Abernathy, senior VP at FleishmanHillard, and managing director at Joele Frank, Wilkinson Brimmer Katcher.
Jacobs “has worked on many of the most complex and high-stakes corporate transactions and proxy contests of the last few decades," said Steven Goldberg, CEO of Los Angeles-based August. “He will add tremendous value to our clients and support the continued growth of the firm’s financial communications practice.”
Joele Frank handles C.H. Robinson Worldwide as the freight transportation company acquires RXO Inc. in a stock and cash transaction pegged at $5.8B to create a company with an enterprise value of more than $25B.
Brunswick Group handles France’s Schneider Electric as it acquires Boston’s PTC, maker of engineering software, for $22.6B cash.
Burson Buchanan handles AAR Corp as the supplier of parts and services to the aviation market acquires a 65 percent stake in MRO Holdings.
The financial services industry thinks it needs more communications, when the real issue is credibility—and that requires entirely different solutions.
Starting out with the goal of creating a “different model” for communications, Tier One’s leaders discuss creating value for firms in financial/fintech, professional services and other high-tech industries.
