投資者關係職業發展前景如何?
本人現在香港某外資公關公司做財經公關工作,工作主要內容偏投資者關係(Investor Relations)。目前IR越來越為世人所認識,而且對於一個上市公司而言,好的IR重要性非同小可,相信未來是朝陽的行業。
但其實一直以來個人興趣是在marketing和social media的strategy方面,作為非業內人士來看用一個時髦的話講是覺得這個領域比較「酷炫」,做的事情好像比較有趣,但實際如何也不曉得。目前在思考未來的發展方向,因為這兩條路截然不同,如果堅定IR方面後面可能會開始CFA的準備了。想請教大神們分析下利弊。
我覺得,如果,你之前有廣告和營銷行業的學習工作經歷或者職業背景,且個人職業興趣非常強大就是非常明確地在social media marketing 領域內工作,那不妨嘗試。
但個人觀感,social media或者廣告營銷行業未來的發展大趨勢是數據和技術導向,也就是計算廣告學,大數據分析驅動下的廣告技術邏輯驅動的,比如推薦演算法設計下的廣告營銷產品,通過大數據分析設計出最好的具備社交營銷爆發點的產品。除此之外,除非是廣告營銷創意(那本身就是傳統廣告行業邏輯範疇內的) ,其他不存在非常清晰的social media strategy的可持續職業發展路徑。
投資者關係IR,雖然也是一個小型的窄門,但是專業性是積累的,需要懂金融、財務會計、法律、資本市場,還需要懂商業邏輯,中英文流利。 但是通常外部的乙方財經公關機構,比較側重的是IPO上市前的財經公關和上市後的投資者關係,前者是搭配投資銀行的證券承銷工作(專業性和業務涉及深度有限) ,後者一般是針對中小型企業,因為IR一般是一個公司內部非常核心機密的部門, 對於真正意義上的大公司而言,很少會外包這部分職能,只有中小型的海外上市公司,對海外資本市場IR不甚熟悉了解,平時又很難養得起一個合格的IR人員全面運作,才外包的。 所以,比較明確的IR領域的職業發展路徑是: 在中小型乙方IR機構,熟悉IR業務2-3年後,去大型的公司,從事內部IR工作。當然,其實更合理的一個方式,最好是,先在賣方研究機構做分析師,然後轉去做IR,通常IR是很難反轉去做分析師的,該職位的人選需求量取決於上市公司是否正好釋放出這個職能的人員。 好的IR 和分析師的職業技能軸應該是一致的甚至更強的,否則hold不住分析師,只是IR的精力可以更專註於一家公司某個特定的行業,比較適合女孩子發展,分析師工作畢竟比較辛苦,還是比較適合男生,cover的公司和子行業可能很多。social media 和 marketing 領域,的確是你所謂地看起來「炫酷」,但由於人員缺口大,入行門檻低,導致起薪就不太高(當然高級人才是例外,任何行業都是如此)。另外,以後的營銷,人為的影響越來越不明顯,數據和演算法會代替大量低階職位的工作,至於消費者洞察、創意能力、展現技巧……哈,說實話你如果在這個領域達到極致,不做營銷也大有可為,比如羅永浩 :)
IR 有一定的門檻,英語水平、商業常識、財務知識起碼要有一個基礎,稍加積累之後找機會進入企業內部就會相對穩定和有前景,我在騰訊跟 IR 部門接觸的心得是,IR 人員的發展核心是要懂業務,要學著去了解業務,不管你是進入了快速消費品、移動互聯網、智能硬體類或者任意要在 A 股吹泡泡的公司,還是 BAT 這樣的大型美股上市公司。本人在美上市IR部門工作七年,投資者關係職位做起後轉向董事會現在任董秘,有些感觸與您分享,不足之處還請看到的各位朋友指出!投資者關係,1. 顧名思義就是和投資者搞關係,但並不是喝個小酒咖啡就能解決的,當然這也是必不可少的一點,最重要的是你要對公司有著極其深入了解,你的成本是多少,你得戰略方向是什麼,你得渠道你的市場必須了解深入才能給投資人畫一個又大又好吃的餅,這樣你才能提升你的股價,增加你的市值,只有讓投資人吃高興了,才能在每季度的ER結束後給你一個buy;與此同時投資者日,各路展會,路演你的曝光率也在很大程度上有影響,除非你的公司牛刀我不找你你得追我的地步,競爭對手可能有10個分析師寫,你們就有可能才5個,那麼所觸及的投資者就少啦。2.投資者關係應該是年報季報發新聞對外披露口徑一套的服務提供部門吧,所以有點財務知識很吃香,至少寫財報的時候可以和財務部門理直氣壯的干仗,我就是因為這方面不行,好多時候都是求著財務部門的幫忙,比對我們CFO還客氣,當然如果跟財務好的不要不要的另說。投資者關係作為對外窗口必須有一套對內對外口徑,怎麼忽悠投資人媒體就得看嘴皮子功夫和公司實際情況給力否3.投資者關係你得做路演吧,在入行之前麻煩把PPT做做好,免得以後招人嫌棄。其實投資者關係是一個很有意思的工作,喜歡就去做,嘗試也未嘗不可。太晚啦,明天給大家詳細說說董事會,電視上演的很多都是騙人的,明天跟大家八卦一下上市公司董事會的台前幕後,另外呢,如果有同行看到啦可以多交流啊,最喜歡聊天啦……晚安么么噠
跟樓主路徑正好相反。。。4A PR出身,corporate,marcom,social都有cover,目前拚命想往IR轉,乙方甲方都OK。感覺IR市場好小,我只知道香港皓天和博達,local的九富什麼的,後來了解到Brunswick,Citigate,Finsbury之類的,如果能讓我去外資這幾家,高興死了~PS:之前待過的4A是宏盟和陽獅的,覺得好無聊啊,炫酷卻膚淺……
乙方IR公司職員,已經做了幾年了。總的來說,對於二代系列的女孩子還是個挺不錯的工作,輕鬆愉快,也有底氣不陪客戶喝酒。沒有背景的女孩子真的要考慮考慮,能做內部IR那最好,如果做乙方。。。一封業內流傳已久的信大家不妨讀讀,也是行業縮影吧。背景是一個新加坡的乙方IR公司(該公司在大陸和香港也有分店)的女孩被客戶潛規則,後來女孩把事情曝光了:
Former MP Chong Weng Chiew involved in extramarital affair with 25 year old
Dear Members of Parliament, Investors and Management of United Envirotech, Family of Chong Weng Chiew, and local and international journalists:
You are all addressed in this email because you are familiar with the name Chong Weng Chiew. He is a former Member of Parliament, the former Medical Director at the Thye Hua Kwan Moral Society, the current Senior Deputy CEO of Corporate Affairs at United Envirotech, and the married father of two.
Unfortunately, Weng Chiew"s life is nothing but a facade.
In 2014, I was an Associate at FinancialPR and Weng Chiew, as the head of corporate affairs of United Envirotech, a company owned by CITIC and KKR, was our valuable client. As a client, we would often be invited to wine and dine with the management of United Envirotech at extravagant restaurants at the client"s expense. At first, these would occur in group settings, but eventually, Weng Chiew would ask me to dine with him alone.
Given his position of power and the fact that I really needed the job, I reluctantly agreed. We would dine at fancy restaurants and frequent karaoke bars. Each and every event was filled with an abundance of alcohol. One day, he invited himself over to my house where he proceeded to undress me and have his way with my body.
For the next three months, the affair continued. He would ask to come over to my home a few times a week when his wife wouldn"t suspect. I felt dirty. I felt sick, but I didn"t dare tell a soul. Three months later, a friend of mine saw us together and confronted me. She gave me the courage to end it. In November 2014, I told him that I had enough. He tried to make me feel guilty. He faked tears. He claimed that his wife also had an affair. He complained that his parents and siblings made his life miserable. He professed that he wanted to take me to a far-away island.
The management of United Envirotech has been well-aware of this incident but has decided to turn a blind-eye. I guess this is what I should have expected, given that this kind of behavior is acceptable under the culture of the firm. I know for a fact however, that most Members of Parliament would find this abhorrent, given that our country was founded on the bedrock of family values.
At first, I wanted to forget the whole incident and bury it. But my friends encouraged me to pursue every legal and public avenue to ensure that other young girls would not be harmed by Chong Weng Chiew. They believed, and rightly so, that he felt no remorse for his actions and would continue if there were no ramifications. What Chong Weng Chiew did was despicable and I will dedicate my life to ensuring no Singaporean girl will ever have to succumb to the pressures of men like him.
