Their comprehensive services cover creative and content, integrated communications and PR, digital, data, analytics, and technology. Notable brands within the group include Hotwire, CPR, BMF, Orchard, and OBMedia.
In early 2019, Enero Group engaged Automic for board management technology to create efficiencies for board and executive-level meetings.
Enero Group had an existing relationship with Market Eye for investor relations. When Automic acquired Market Eye in 2022, Enero saw the opportunity to consolidate the service offering.
In 2023, Enero Group transitioned their share registry to Automic Group for the compound value of integrated registry, board management and investor relations technology, managed by one go-to customer success manager.
Enero Group faced significant challenges with their existing share registry provider, including long turnaround times for simple requests and difficulty understanding the reports they received. Additionally, the incumbent platform interface was complicated to navigate.
As virtual and hybrid board meetings became the standard, Enero sought a modern board meeting software solution to enhance their experience.
Enero Group was eager to improve accuracy regarding the register, the management of meeting agendas, annotations, documents, board meeting discussions, and meeting minutes.
The burden of manual tasks and administrative slowed the ability to respond to investors and manage expectations effectively. The lack of technological functionality particularly fueled growing frustrations.
Automic has delivered cost-efficiency and operational effectiveness. Enero sought advanced insights into their shareholders through an integrated registry and investor relations analytics solution.
By leveraging the combined offering of board management, investor relations and registry, Enero maximises efficiencies.
“The registry portal has delivered better self-service functionality so the internal team can access information on demand. Also, Automic’s ability to manage overseas shareholders for dividend payments is far superior and made quite a difference when we recently had overseas share issues.”
