PrecisionIR Introduces an Enhanced Digital Media Platform to Enable Public Companies to Connect With Millions of Investors Worldwide

RICHMOND, Virginia, March 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Today, PrecisionIR has launched Company Spotlight, a new one-of-a-kind platform which enables public companies to create a custom investor experience.  This platform leverages the latest in digital media technology and connects a company's content to millions of investors through over 100 of the world's most respected financial publications and websites.

http://www.CompanySpotlight.com not only offers companies the ability to tell their story, their way; it also offers investors the unique ability to access content that is traditionally located on a company's website.  Rather than shift from one company website to another investors will now be able to view content for thousands of companies all in one location.  On March 1^st investors will have access to over 20,000 of the most sought after companies from around the world. In addition, Company Spotlight's recommendation engine will help uncover investment opportunities that match the investor's interest. This unprecedented access will be offered to investors on a free and unlimited basis.

"Company Spotlight represents a continued commitment from PrecisionIR to help companies put their investment story in the hands of investors when and where they conduct their research," says Bob Maguire, President of PrecisionIR.  "Company Spotlight also offers investors the ability to compliment their quantitative research conducted on the world's leading financial media outlets with the qualitative research that is often reserved to a company's website.  In effect, investors will have access to thousands of company micro-sites in one portal."

Company Spotlight will be accessible through the PrecisionIR media partner network.  This network includes more than 100 of the world's largest and most respected financial outlets.  The Wall Street Journal, The Toronto Stock Exchange, The London Stock Exchange, Yahoo! Finance, Barron's, NASDAQ OMX, Handelsblatt, Boursorama, and Dagens Nyheter are just a few examples of media partners within the PrecisionIR network.  The network in its entirety reaches more than 200 million investors daily.

"Company Spotlight's unmatched distribution network, coupled with the ability to provide the most relevant and timely investment information in an easy to use, dynamic platform offers my clients a tremendous opportunity to garner the interest of real investors in today's highly competitive environment," says Jody Janson, President of ISD, Inc., a Rochester, NY-based investor relations consulting firm. 

"Company Spotlight is a great addition to Investopedia. The digital media content covers a wide range of investments and is complimentary with our content offering," says Mark Ly, Vice President & Technology for Investopedia.

Today marks the beginning of how PrecisionIR plans to change the way companies communicate with a global investor audience and the way investors compliment their quantitative research with the equally important qualitative content.
