Kekst CNC successfully advises OQGN on global financial communications for delivery of historic IPO on MSX

Dubai: Kekst CNC, a leading international strategic communications consultancy, worked with OQ Gas Networks (OQGN) and the OQ Group on the landmark transaction. The firm was appointed to develop a global and regional communications strategy, support the equity story development in close collaboration with banks and legal advisers, media train the executive team, speech writing, analyst/investor meeting preparation, corporate narrative creation for the website and IPO page, and delivering strategic media relations with global media and financial newswires resulting in unprecedented international coverage for the IPO. The success of this project reflects Kekst CNC's core competency of delivering financial communications advisory on complex transactions requiring carefully regulated disclosure. The global team, consisting of Kevin Soady, Katherine Fennell, Gregor Riemann, Victoria Douglas, Christopher Deifuss, and Stephan Göttel, worked closely with Kekst CNC partner agency OHI Leo Burnett in Muscat, which supported creative content, design, media buying and branding. The team provided a blend of close on-the-ground support in Muscat with remote advisory from London, Frankfurt, and Dubai, providing OQ and OQGN with regional best practices, combined with global know-how and expertise. The OQGN IPO was a complex endeavour, marked by bilingual requirements, and a significant number of stakeholder groups involved. These
