Awards honour the brands and partners who deliver exceptional customer experiences and meaningful business results.

LONDON, Sept. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Invoca, the leader in revenue execution platforms, today announced the recipients of its 2024 Impact Awards. Now in its 7th year, this program celebrates the brands and partner teams that have mastered alignment between marketing and sales, resulting in wins across many key business metrics, such as revenue growth and ad spend efficiency. These awards recognize B2C companies that have optimised the buyer journey, embraced revenue execution and driven meaningful business results.  

Invoca’s The State of B2C Revenue Execution Report 2024 revealed how poor alignment between B2C marketing, sales, and contact centre teams significantly impacts revenue growth, especially in high-consideration purchase industries. The 2024 winners exemplify the potential for B2C companies that prioritise tightly aligned revenue teams to deliver an exceptional customer journey from first click to final sale.

“B2C brands are operating in a more competitive, fragmented buyer landscape than ever before,” said Jennifer Lovette, SVP of Customer Success at Invoca. “We are incredibly proud to celebrate the brands and partner teams that are using revenue execution to its fullest potential to deliver exceptional customer experiences and drive meaningful business results.”

The 2024 Impact Award finalists include notable brands across a range of industries from telecom to home services, healthcare and more who stand out for the impressive business results they’ve seen through their adoption of revenue execution, as well as partners who are helping Invoca shape the next generation of industry tools and cutting edge solutions. Get inspired by their stories here.

This year’s Invoca Impact Awards winners are:

Best Revenue Team
Winner: T-Mobile

The Best Revenue Team successfully aligns marketing and sales teams to unlock a company’s full revenue potential. Through their use of the Invoca platform, they successfully connect their paid media investments directly to revenue, improve digital engagement, and deliver seamless buyer experiences.

The Buyer Journey Excellence Award winner provides the best experience to consumers by equipping their sales team with high-value insights about incoming calls. Sellers effectively use this information to optimise the buying experience and convert more calls.

AT&T has integrated Invoca with Neustar, routing highly qualified callers directly to agent queues, resulting in a 39% lift in answered calls and a 23% rise in sales opportunities.

“The work we’ve done with Invoca to enrich visitor profiles and enable audience-first routing has truly been a game changer that is giving us meaningful conversion lifts, and we’re seeing the impact on both the consumer and the business side,” said Ben Downing, Director, Marketing Technology and Digital Enablement at AT&T. “We’re thrilled to see where this takes us next – thank you for the honour!”

In just one quarter, CenterWell has positioned Invoca at the core of their data-driven decisions. They seamlessly transitioned over 6,000 numbers to Invoca’s PreSense platform to improve agent call outcomes, set up sophisticated integrations, and used advanced Invoca analytics to optimise their media campaigns, better allocate ad spend and create operational efficiencies.

Forward Global responds to surge in UK shareholder activism with launch of UK Corporate Contests Practice

Published

forward-global-responds-to-surge-in-uk-shareholder-activism-with-launch-of-uk-corporate-contests-practice

LONDON, March 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — International risk management firm Forward Global launched its UK Corporate Contests Practice on Tuesday in response to what is described as “all-time high of shareholder activism” in London and Paris. 

Speaking ahead of the launch on Tuesday night, Brendan Foo, Partner and Global Head of Corporate Contests at Forward Global, said “As activism gains currency as an asset class, savvy investors are looking toward the UK and Europe to generate alpha. Indeed, in 2025 alone, we have seen an unprecedented demand for our services not just in our traditional strongholds of the US and Canada, but also in the UK and Europe. This reflects the surge in activist (and active) engagements, with which our team is uniquely well-placed to assist.”

Forward Global’s Corporate Contests Practice was established to meet demand from law firms, investors, and advisers to provide a comprehensive suite of services to support companies in high-stakes shareholder engagements. In keeping with the firm’s established activism practice in the US, the new London offering will deliver investigative and intelligence work such as vetting board nominees, relationship mapping, scrutinizing the track records of both incumbents and challengers, and conducting deep-dive reputation analyses. In Europe, Forward Global’s Patrice Lambert-de Diesbach offers clients battle-tested expertise in investor relations and financial communications.

Shareholder activism in the UK has expanded significantly, with campaigns becoming more frequent and sophisticated. In 2023, the number of new public activist campaigns in Europe surged by 68%, with the UK remaining a primary target. US-based activist investors have also increased their focus on UK firms, launching 40% of all UK activist campaigns in 2024. With contested boardroom battles and regulatory shifts on the rise, the expansion of Forward Global’s Corporate Contests practice into the UK is well-timed, equipping issuers with the intelligence and strategies needed to navigate this evolving landscape.

The firm launched the new practice at an exclusive gathering at the International Institute of Strategic Studies in London, bringing together leading voices from the shareholder activism space to discuss the evolving landscape of transatlantic shareholder activism.

The panel discussion, featuring Brendan Foo, Patrick J. McHugh of Okapi Partners, and Sebastian Fain of Freshfields, explored critical considerations for US investors entering the UK market and vice versa, differences in engagement styles across jurisdictions, and strategies for issuers to proactively engage with both activist and active investors. Panelists also examined the impact of anti-DEI and ESG sentiment on investor relations in the UK, as well as how issuers can adapt to evolving regulatory and institutional expectations.

John Watts, Managing Partner of Forward Global UK, added, “Forward Global’s new UK Corporate Contests Practice is designed to provide companies with the strategic intelligence and investigative depth needed to navigate an increasingly complex activist landscape. Our team is committed to equipping clients with the tools to engage proactively with investors, safeguard their strategic interests, and strengthen shareholder relations across Europe.”
