Investor Days give companies a rare opportunity to control the story they present to investors, analysts, and the media. What happens at Investor Days can move stock prices significantly and affects the long-term perception of investors.
There’s a lot riding on a successful outcome. That’s why many large companies spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on these events. Investor Days are especially high-stakes for Investor Relations Officers (IROs), who are responsible for organizing them.
For IROs, it’s a time to juggle multiple hats. Besides their “day” jobs, your 1-person or small Investor Relations (IR) teams are now also tackling event coordination, attendee invitations, messaging, and presentation design. With so much at stake to deliver a successful Investor Days, many IROs choose to outsource the time-intensive part of presentation design to Outkreate.
If you’re an IRO, we want to help you deliver a successful Investor Day by taking on the heavy-lifting parts of presentation design.
We’ve developed best practices for Investor Day presentation design
We’ve enhanced messaging, content and elevated visual design for a number of Investor Days for IROs. We understand what it takes to create a successful outcome. We’ll help you take uncertainty off the table by sharing our best practices for I-Day presentations.
We’ll advise you on messaging (not just create pretty slides)
When the media puts out headlines after your Investor Day, they won’t focus on how attractive your slides are. They’ll focus on your event’s messaging and any newsworthy takeaways that were emphasized. While we won’t tell you what to say, we’ll advise you on how to incorporate your key messages, help you refine the story and structure of your presentation, and make your content clearer and more emotionally engaging through visual storytelling.
We help IROs focus on higher-impact tasks
An investor day has a better chance of success when you’re able to focus on the 30,000 foot view, rather than focusing on the tactical details of presentation design. We free up your time so you can focus on the bigger goals that you’re most equipped for, i.e. influencing your C-suite, sensing your analysts / investors, and staying focused on the strategic outcomes of the I-Day.
As an IRO, it’s easy for you and your leadership team to get stuck negotiating the content of individual slides or the design of a presentation.
The fact is, these tactical details are a poor use of time.
We’ll start working with you early in the planning process of your Investor Day. This allows us to play an advisory role based on the Investor Day best practices we’ve developed. We can help you save time by avoiding common pitfalls in setting your agenda, messaging, and storytelling.
Our first goal is to learn the main messaging and goals for your Investor Day. We don’t advise you on what to say. Rather, we help you tell your story in a more clear and impactful way.

“Verra Mobility engaged Outkreate for our July 2022 Investor Day and we were incredibly pleased with the results. Outkreate delivered a visually appealing presentation that was highly effective at telling our story. They were a pleasure to work with, requiring very little oversight and very efficient at producing presentations.
In addition to design expertise, Harry and his team have strong business acumen, which allowed us to convey strategic ideas that Outkreate turned into slide content, resulting in a successful Investor Day presentation.”
