LONDON, October 22, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- We are in the age of connectivity. The rapid proliferation of online social networking means brand management is now relationship building; a way of fostering consumer loyalty with clear and human communication. Of course, the most important relationships for an organisation to strengthen in this manner are surely the ones with its shareholders. The recent downturn has seen many investors spectacularly let down, disappointed and ultimately failed by previously trusted companies, and it is vital that the corporate world as a whole rebuilds the trust abused by the few.

The World Finance Investor Relations awards recognise those companies prioritizing accurate, clear and accessible communications with its shareholders.
