Investor relations services & press release distribution

A full IR desk, run as a system. Automated where it should be, human where it must be. Same-day distribution on an established newswire — AP, Bloomberg, Yahoo Finance, OTC Markets and hundreds of financial sites. Wire distribution is billed per release at a published rate. Who signs off →

The four services below are what most issuers come to us for. Every deliverable is produced by our agent systems and reviewed, approved and signed off by a qualified senior person before it reaches an investor — final approval of anything filed or issued in your name rests with you and your counsel. Mix and match; our plans bundle everything at three depth levels.

🤖 Agents do the production. People do the judgment.

💼 One engagement fills a dozen roles

Hiring these specialists individually is impossible on a micro-cap budget. One FoundryIR retainer is all of them — every role a real capability, every output human-reviewed before it publishes.

⚙️ Our four core services

The core offering

🏛️ 1 · Investor relations services

The full IR desk, run as a system:

Automation keeps every deliverable current and consistent with your public disclosure; a qualified person directs the strategy and signs off the judgment calls. A documented Q&A base keeps every answer aligned with what you've filed. See what's included →

🗞️ 2 · Press release distribution

Get your news release on the wire the same day — typically on the wire before lunch for a morning approval.

  • Established newswire (GlobeNewswire / Newsfile) with guaranteed pickup across AP, Bloomberg Terminal, Yahoo Finance, OTC Markets and hundreds of financial news sites
  • SEDAR+/EDGAR filing context where required; full-text, logo and multimedia releases
  • TSXV, CSE, TSX, OTC, Nasdaq and NYSE American
  • Legacy wires bill hundreds per release and nickel-and-dime every logo, photo and extra region. Your retainer covers the drafting, compliance review and sign-off; wire distribution is billed per release at a published rate (from C$575) — no production markup, no surprise line items, and you see the rate before it sends

See what's included →

🤖 3 · Automated press release writing

A publish-ready release, drafted in minutes by our automation and shaped by a person:

  • Plain-language rewrites of technical results
  • Quote development
  • Headline and lede that earn a click
  • A structure investors and editors actually read

Compliance-ready by construction — paid-content and forward-looking disclosures injected automatically, claims kept inside your public record. Smart automation drafts; a qualified human edits and approves; you and your counsel sign off before anything is filed or issued.

📡 4 · Media monitoring & coverage reports

Know what your shareholders are reading before they do.

  • Daily monitoring across the news, Reddit, StockTwits, CEO.CA and community boards — every mention classified, not just counted
  • A short thesis or coordinated negative narrative flagged the same day with a recommended response
  • Monthly coverage reports — pickup and reach on your releases, retail-sentiment trend, peer comparison and liquidity analytics, a five-minute read for your board

📋 The full service menu

Bundled into the plans alongside the four above — additional ways we build and defend your investor visibility.

📰 Financial PR (financial public relations)

The disciplined, disclosed cousin of stock promotion — and never the promotion itself. We build your standing with the financial press and the market:

  • News-release drafting and distribution
  • Media monitoring
  • Message development and spokesperson prep
  • The corrective, on-the-record response when coverage gets your facts wrong

Every placement carries the required paid-content disclosure (TSXV Policy 3.4 / Form 3C, SEC §17(b)). Financial PR, not stock promotion — we tell your story accurately; we never tell anyone to buy the stock.

📄 Investor materials

Corporate decks, fact sheets, one-pagers, FAQ documents — written for generalists, accurate for specialists, and regenerated whenever your story changes instead of rotting in a drawer. Technical review included — 43-101/QP-sourced content on resource mandates, and product, roadmap and benchmark claims on technology mandates, each handled with the care its disclosure regime demands.

🔍 Investor targeting & outreach

Who owns your peers, which funds and family offices buy your stage and sector, which retail communities actually move volume — mapped from primary 13F filing data (not bought lists), overlap-ranked, and worked through personalized, disclosed outreach sequences. Includes a standing 13D/G watch on your own register — if an activist position appears, you know the day it's filed.

📅 Conferences, roadshows & call prep

VRIC, PDAC and sector conference prep: briefing books, ranked target lists, booth materials, and the follow-up sequences that turn badge scans into shareholders. We prepare; you or your broker book the meetings — conference one-on-ones run through the event's own partnering system, and FoundryIR does not book investor meetings or make introductions.

⚖️ Environmental & regulatory communication

The ESG label is fading; the disclosure obligation is not. Climate and environmental reporting rules are tightening, and a resource issuer's environmental, permitting and community-relations record is disclosed whether or not anyone calls it ESG. We translate what your technical consultants and counsel produce into something an investor can actually read — materiality mapped, data requests specified, honest gaps stated as gaps. No greenwashing, and no framework theatre: we write the communication, your consultants and counsel own the underlying report.

💬 Social & community

A steady, factual presence where small-cap investors actually are:

  • X, LinkedIn, StockTwits, Telegram and Reddit
  • Canadian community boards that move small-caps — CEO.CA, Stockhouse and AGORACOM
  • Monitored and engaged with disclosed, on-behalf-of posts — up to ~60 pieces a month at full service

🎥 Video, newsletters & distribution

YouTube corporate updates and news explainers (script → production), a recurring investor newsletter (monthly to weekly), and release amplification across every channel — each piece carrying the required paid-content disclosure, automatically injected, in every jurisdiction.

✉️ Direct investor outreach

Managed sponsored placements in established third-party investor newsletters. FoundryIR does not run an investor list of its own — we match you to audiences that already exist: your own shareholder list, vetted investor newsletters, screened finance creators, and advisors who cover your sector. Every placement is opt-in, disclosed, and fee based. We do not buy lists and we do not solicit trades.

🎙️ Investor media & appearances

Get your CEO onto the investor YouTube channels, podcasts, newsletters and forums your shareholders watch — booked, briefed, disclosed and syndicated, priced by audience reach from micro channels to marquee 250k+ features. Our discovery engine continuously maps and vets the creator landscape — reach, cadence, audience fit — and screens out pump-style channels your company should never be associated with. Fee based, fully disclosed, disclosure written into every placement agreement. See media packages →

📡 Media & expert connections

Journalists and podcast hosts are looking for expert sources right now — through outreach channels most issuers never see. We watch them for you, and put your CEO in front of the ones that fit.

Get your CEO quoted & booked

🎙️ Press queries & podcast bookings, curated for your sector

Financial journalists post source requests, and podcast hosts post guest calls, every day. Individually they are impossible to keep up with. We monitor these outreach platforms continuously and surface only the ones worth your time:

Earned media, not paid placement: these are genuine journalist and host requests. Where a placement is sponsored rather than earned, it carries the required paid-content disclosure and is quoted first — see media packages. The outreach platforms we monitor are included at no extra cost; our curation and drafting is the work you pay for.

🚫 What we never do

These aren't just principles — most are securities rules (TSXV Policy 3.4, BC Instrument 51-519 context, U.S. Securities Act §17(b)), and they're why our clients' credibility survives us being paid. Details on the Disclosure page.
