ProActive Capital Resources Group CEO Interviewed by Investor Business Daily --Article Cites Success of Social Networking Site ProActiveNewroom.com
NEW YORK, NY: June 16, 2010: ProActive Capital Resources Group, LLC (“Proactive” or “PACRG”) is pleased to announced today that Founder and CEO Jeff Ramson was interviewed by Investor Business Daily in the article “Investor Relations Expanding Deeper Into Social Networking,” which was posted online on June 14, 2010. The article cites ProActive's recent success stories in representing public companies in the “new online frontier” of investor relations, social networking.
An excerpt from the article follows:
“Unilife (NASDAQ: UNIS), a small medical device maker, had no U.S. investor audience in February when its shares were first listed on the Nasdaq shortly after it relocated its headquarters from Australia to Pennsylvania. Unilife hired ProActiveNewsroom.com to host an investor relations site. The online platform includes helping Unilife spread its message by feeding posts through social and financial networks, including Twitter, Wikinvest.com and the Seeking Alpha blog.
“Keryx Biopharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: KERX) is another small firm that's reaching investors through social media. The stock has nearly doubled to about 4.50 since the biotech firm expanded its online presence with ProActive Newsroom this year.
“'Social networks act as echo chambers where both good and bad views of a stock's performance can be amplified,' says Jeff Ramson, founder and CEO of ProActive Newsroom.com parent ProActive Capital Resources Group. 'ProActive Newsroom seeks to raise awareness among investors and hopefully improve their opinions of the stock,' Ramson says. It's tricky. He says savvy users of social media don't appreciate blatant advertising or stock hyping.
“'What we try to do is create interesting content about the company, but we try not to be too promotional or invasive, Ramson said.'”
