AXA:

From Expertise to Influence – Elevating AXA Investment Manager’s ESG Voice in the Americas

The Challenge

AXA Investment Managers, a global firm with $1 trillion in assets under management, sought to strengthen its voice in the Americas. While the firm had deep expertise in ESG and thematic investing, including its clean economy and biotech strategies, it faced increasing competition from peers amplifying similar narratives. The opportunity was to elevate AXA IM’s point of view, differentiate its expertise, and ensure its leaders were part of the most important conversations shaping ESG and innovation, particularly during a time when topics like clean tech and vaccines were dominating headlines.

The Solution

AXA IM partnered with Peppercomm to sharpen and amplify its thought leadership. The team developed a multi-pronged communications strategy that integrated ESG and biotech expertise into targeted media outreach.

Through in-depth discovery sessions, AXA IM’s spokespeople refined their perspectives and messaging, enabling them to speak with clarity and authority on complex topics. This foundation allowed for more compelling storytelling and stronger engagement with top-tier and specialized ESG media.
The approach ensured AXA IM was not just participating in the conversation, but helping shape it at critical moments.

The Result

As a result, we secured media opportunities with top tier and ESG outlets, and also arranged an editorial board meeting with the Wall Street Journal, where ESG was a major topic. Additional coverage was secured on vaccine thought leadership at the height of the conversation on this theme in Q4 2020, resulting in interviews/coverage with Business Insider, Quartz and Bloomberg.
