Darrow Associates Introduces Innovative Non-Deal Roadshows

Initial Four-Day Virtual NDR for Semiconductor Industry Offers Unique Structure Placing Four Companies with One Institutional Investor

AUSTIN, TX and NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / June 22, 2023 / Darrow Associates, Inc., a national investor relations (IR) consulting firm, today announced the launch of a new corporate access investor outreach and marketing concept. The innovative Non-Deal Roadshow (NDR) approach commences with a Semiconductor industry event that will introduce four select clients of the firm in a series of virtual meetings with institutional investors and fund managers on a 4:1 basis over a four day period during the week of June 26, 2023. Meetings will be arranged by Darrow Associates and a select investment bank with specialization in the industry for that particular NDR.

Investors interested in scheduling a meeting as part of the Semiconductor sector NDR may contact Darrow Associates. Please see the contact details at the end of this press release.

Darrow Associates' unique concept for investor outreach utilizing NDRs ties in several important facets of impactful IR implemented by outsourced agencies, including:

1. Creativity in IR strategies, including the use of efficient technologies
2. Client support, particularly during challenging times for the equity markets and for smaller public companies
3. IR productivity and efficiency, with an emphasis on maximizing ROI on program implementation
4. Mutually beneficial leveraging of the relationship between an investment bank/brokerage and an IR firm
5. Mutually beneficial leveraging of the relationship between the buy-side and the investment bank/brokerage along with an IR firm

Each participating company will provide an abbreviated 5 minute overview presentation for a combined 20 minutes. After the presentations, the process becomes far more intimate and illuminating as the investor will have an additional 25 minutes to ask the public company executives questions on topics of interest shaping the growth and operating performance of the sector and the individual companies. Each 45-minute meeting provides more time than a standard 30-minute interval at most investor conferences and comes with an added-value component of having the ability to analyze different perspectives from industry experts. With the NDR focusing on a vertical market, with the initial event built around the Semiconductor industry, investors will be provided with an invaluable education along with insights from the public company executives. All participating companies will be clients of Darrow Associates, which has one of the largest practices among investor relations firms focused on the semiconductor industry.

"We are excited to launch an innovative and in depth process for impactful investor relations through this new NDR format with Titan Partners," said Jordan Darrow of Darrow Associates. "The unique approach offers a way for public companies to expand their investor base. In doing so, we enable investors who may have an immediate interest in one client to learn of other companies in the same sector. This platform allows investors to see a basket of ideas in the same sector in a single meeting, which lowers the barriers to getting a constructive conversation started for each participating company."
