We deliver investor relations and communications strategy for Acumen and provide ongoing IR communications for startups in Singapore and Hong Kong.
Our award-winning work for Mastercard — recognised by the IPRA Golden World Awards and the 2026 SABRE Awards — reflects our ability to combine data-driven insight with creative stakeholder engagement in the financial services sector.
Manufacturing
Rothman supports international manufacturers investing across borders — from market entry strategy and government relations to stakeholder engagement, employee communications, and operational communications for manufacturing sites.
Among our clients, Vulcan Shield Global (VSG) made one of the largest Singaporean manufacturing investments in the European Union, beginning in 2025.

Our Singaporean headquarters supports companies like Jungheinrich, a German material-handling manufacturer expanding across Asia-Pacific.

For Filtrona, we provide corporate communications and event support, and deep market analysis for business expansion across a wide geographical area, including Central & Eastern Europe and West Africa.
We have supported the manufacturing operations and site communications of leading FMCG companies including Heineken, FrieslandCampina, and Coca-Cola HBC since 2008, and have established strategic partnerships between our clients and local governments in Central & Eastern Europe to secure stakeholder support for new manufacturing investments.

The Rothman Intelligence Unit published “European Horizons: A Strategic Guide for Singaporean Business Expansion into Europe” in collaboration with the Singapore Manufacturing Federation — providing strategic intelligence for Asian manufacturers considering investment and market entry into the EU.
Cultural Institutions, NGOs & Foundations
Rothman advises cultural institutions, foundations, NGOs, and public-interest organisations on brand strategy, stakeholder engagement, media relations, crisis communications, and training.

Our Intelligence Unit has produced research — including an EU policy white paper commissioned by the Social Market Foundation and “European Horizons,” a strategic guide published in collaboration with the Singapore Manufacturing Federation.
Our Responsible Marketing Institute aims to publish standards and benchmarks for ethical communications — an institutional contribution to the sector that reflects our commitment to responsible practice beyond client work.
Events
At Rothman, events are not a standalone capability — they are a strategic extension of our stakeholder engagement practice. Every event we design, organise, or support is built around a specific stakeholder objective: building relationships that advance our clients’ market position, reputation, or policy goals.
We have been the communications partner of some of the world’s leading international energy conferences — including Gastech, Future Energy Asia, Future Mobility Asia, and the Japan Energy Summit and Exhibition — delivering onsite and international communications support for events that convene thousands of global industry leaders and decision-makers.
We organise proprietary stakeholder events such as Energy Beyond, designed to bring together senior industry figures around issues that matter to our clients and their sectors. For Mastercard, we have designed and delivered regional conference series in digitalisation and annual conferences of the Digital Payment Index initiative. We have also created award-winning stakeholder engagement campaigns with strong event components — including the SABRE and IPRA-recognised “Digital Farmers” initiative, which connected financial inclusion strategy with agricultural communities through on-the-ground engagement.
For FMCG and manufacturing clients, we plan and execute internal conferences, employee engagement events, and stakeholder forums — supporting corporate communications, employer branding, and government relations objectives.
Whether supporting a global summit with 20,000 delegates, organising targeted stakeholder events or regional conferences, our approach is the same: every event serves a communications and stakeholder strategy, not the other way around.
