Key findings – KWD Webranking 2011

In-depth IR content
• 87% of respondents wanted information on financial targets and achievements
• Only 10 of the 500 companies provided both in detail

Management profiling
In the current climate, key audiences want to get underneath the skin of management
Yet vast majority of European corporate websites offer just a dull, short “two cats and lives in Surrey” biography
But this is the change to converge CEO information:• Skills, experience, CV• Thought leadership pieces• Interviews• Press cuttings• His / her views on the company• Q&A• Company and industry presentations

Other key findings in Europe
• 80% want information on Risk Management – 70% don’t provide it
• Most companies slow to encourage or engage in stakeholder dialogue – even simply through offering feedback – or properly maintained and relevant corporate social media channels
• Group careers portals becoming relevant with large companies with disparate operating companies
• Interactive press sections with multimedia becoming more prevalent, and we are seeing the start of full social media newsrooms
