Testimonials
Pam Styles has been a treasured colleague of mine for several decades. She is the consummate strategist and investor relations professional, both a traditionalist and innovator at the same time. She is conservative in approach while innovating exciting new solutions for her clients’ communication challenges. We have enjoyed a close collaboration over the years, beginning when I was editor of the NIRI IR Update and Pam was a leading commentator on trends and developments affecting the IR profession. Since then, I have looked forward to the new things that we do together on behalf of our clients. And Pam always delivers – in strategic steps that are amazing. Thank you, Pam, for many years of happy collaboration!”
Hank Boerner, Chairman, Governance & Accountability Institute, Inc.
Upon recognizing the need to produce a corporate responsibility report and associated framework disclosures, as well as being at risk of missing a promised deadline to our Board of Directors, we brought in Pam Styles at Next Level Investor Relations at the last minute to start over, after a previous agency had failed to deliver. Pam rapidly assessed the situation, visioned and prioritized, organized, advised, collaborated, rolled-up her sleeves, and partnered seamlessly with me, our internal teams, and SMEs. The result, achieved in just three months and on-time, was a successfully published inaugural report, voluntary reporting frameworks disclosure, robust website content, press release and public positioning launch, and a solid foundation for future development. We would not have produced this important report and received positive recognition by our CEO, Board, or external stakeholders without her support.”

Companies looking for support and advice on communicating on sustainability with investors will find from Pam the three things they need: long-standing experience of investor relations, an enthusiasm for the sustainability dimension of this and an ability to combine the two to meet their practical needs.”

I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with Pamela Styles from Next Level Investor Relations, as well as present with her. She is an excellent communicator and an expert in her field. She provided excellent guidance and counsel at a time when I needed an informed view of the intersection between sustainability and the then-emerging ESG landscape. She has extensive knowledge of the relevance of sustainability to business that helps companies connect the dots as they build their strategies for the future.”

It has been a pleasure getting to know Pam Styles over the years and working with her on various Sustainability / ESG client engagements, thought leadership pieces, training and events. I’ve always been impressed by the quality of her work, her level of knowledge in both the IR field and her ability to process new information into solid strategic advice. She should be at the top of your list when looking for help for your company on ESG issues.

Pam Styles was our lifesaver. After forming a cross-functional ESG committee at our small-cap insurance company, we engaged her at Next Level Investor Relations as an educator and resource. When the complexities and uncertainties of sustainability requirements felt daunting, she helped us refine our focus to achieve a tangible outcome. We were truly impressed by the amount of data she meticulously analyzed to provide a tailored assessment specific to our company. With Pam’s partnership, we gained confidence in our plan for website content, framework responses, governance improvements, and policy revisions. I highly recommend her to any company unsure of where to begin with their sustainability positioning.”

As fellow board members of the NIRI Capital Area chapter, I had the sincere privilege of getting to know Pam. Beyond NIRI, I have leaned on Pam for deep expertise when helping clients bridge the communications gap between IR’s understanding of ESG matters, stakeholders’ requests for information and executive and board members’ positions on ESG matters. Pam is ideal in front of clients as her unique blend of IR experience and sustainability as a business strategy present immediate value.”

I’ve collaborated with Pam Styles at Next Level Investor Relations on writing assignments and have consulted with her on behalf of clients. Not only is Pam an expert in her field, but she is terrific to work with – she knows how to translate environmental and sustainability matters into language that makes sense not only to investor relations officers, but also to boards of directors. Once understood, she can guide a company as it builds its own unique E&S response.”
