How to convey your brand through digital investor relations? BT
- 2. © British Telecommunications plc
Context
• We have one of the largest share
registers in the UK, with many
retail shareholders, who are also
our customers
• The Annual Report is much more
than a compliance document…
• … It’s an opportunity for us to
communicate better
• Balancing the needs of retail
shareholders with analysts and
institutional investors
• Just one element in a suite of
communication tools

Our approach
• Combined Annual Report and Form 20-F
• Multi-format
• online, PDF, smart PDF, print, plus
accessible options
• one content source file
• An integrated Annual Report but with a
separate, ‘Delivering our purpose’ report
• Strong alignment with corporate brand
and website
• Willing to be challenged by the designers
• Willing to act upon feedback/analytics

Looking back 3-4 years
• Introduction of richer media
– e.g. video messages from the
Chairman, CEO and CFO
• Introduction of theme-based
‘case-studies’
– (see timeline)
• Html version of the full printed
document dropped in favour of a
‘slimmed down’ summary version
Looking ahead
• More of the same …
• … but we'll keep listening to
audience feedback
• More video and animation
(if/when appropriate)
• More social media?
• No 'app' for the time being
