Eighteen months after Peregrine Communications established its US office in New York City, the specialist financial services communications, marketing and design agency, secured its 18th US client with the communications remit for Long Beach-based Indigo Capital Advisors, a growing commercial direct lender, and New York based PivotalPath, a leading financial technology firm focused on hedge fund research for institutional investors.

"Our roster of clients are among the most innovative firms looking to communicate their investment edge via a differentiated brand strategy utilizing tactics such as media relations, thought leadership, video and graphic design elements," commented Max Hilton, Director at Peregrine USA. "Brand stature is now a key evaluation factor for investors, and for us having the right team in place who understands the value of a multi-channel approach is vital to ensuring our clients' value proposition is clearly articulated."

Since opening the New York City office, Peregrine's US team has been recognized as the runner up for Best North American Public Relations Firm by readers of Hedgeweek as well as the Best Global Marketing Communications Firm at the Hedge Fund Journal Awards 2015.
