Who we are ?
We believe
“We bridge the gap between compliance and communication,
because what you say is only as important as what your readers understand”
Labrador is a maverick company.
As a communication agency with expertise in compliance, we bring together two worlds with historically conflicting goals to better communicate compliance.
In today’s world, compliance alone is not enough to persuade your stakeholders. Plain language and design are essential tools in presenting your company’s governance and compensation story to better attract and engage your target audience.
The 3 Best Proxy awards won by Labrador’s clients over the past 6 years is a testament to the power of these tools.
Communicating compliance takes time and we know that you don’t have extra time in your busy day. Labrador’s focus is on helping you save time in the proxy production process.
With this in mind, we developed EOL, a unique, fully-secure, cloud-based, collaborative platform, exclusively aimed at producing proxy statements and 10-Ks. EOL allows you to update your fully designed documents, 24/7, wherever you are, reducing your production time by up to 50% and concentrate on what really matters: turning your proxy into a valuable shareholder engagement tool.
Imagine what we’ll design for you.
We are
