The next focusIR Investor Webinar takes places on 14th May with guest speakers from WS Blue Whale Growth Fund, Taseko Mines, Kavango Resources and CQS Natural Resources fund. Please register here.
I don't think we see a visible change in the marketing approach at any point here. Amigo don't want to risk being accused of manipulating the vote however if I was running the SOA campaign my approach would be (and I believe Amigos marketing dept will be doing similar);
Split lists of customers into existing vs old. Increase sponsored social ads targeted only to the previous customers based on the customer list across all social platforms, ensuring maximum reach as these are the 'bankers' that will push the SOA through.
Prioritise calls and texts to all previous customers, utilising the 300 or so HQ staff to ensure as many are reached as possible - it's easier to sell the SOA from a phone script followed-up by an SMS link for voting than it is to send an email and hope someone reads it.
Creating a multipronged approach through targeting ex-customers on social and the age old phone call approach would be a sure fire winner IMO.
Previous Amigo customer here. No secret on here that I got a redress payment in June of last year and invested it all into these shares - judge away.
Just went onto the portal and voted in favour of. Expect it to pass with flying colours tbh. Only risk to vote is many current customers may be under the impression that should Amigo go bust, they will no longer have to pay their loans - which is not the case. Additionally, Amigos approach to debt collection and lapsed payments is a no-nonsense approach and many may have experienced this and would vote to sink.
All that said, still expect it to sail through.
I always remember a post from a member on here in August/September of last year who was concerned as he’d invested his deposit for a house here in June and was down significantly and in a slight state of panic.
I hope you are still here and still in mate, you’ll be getting that house very soon if so.
I've also heard the lottery numbers for this Friday if anyone wants them?
Can we stick to facts on here rather than speculation, I'm sure we've all been burned enough times with speculation. Would be great if they were to make an acquisition offer for HEMO as a whole and does make commercial sense but i'd be surprised if anyone on here knew more than the next person.
Interesting to see a a reality tv star raising over £1.2M on instagram the last 8 hours for CAR-T therapy in Singapore for his daughter.

If theres no RNS at 7am tomorrow, i wouldn’t expect any news this week. Don’t see them dropping something (potentially) this big on a Friday, if its a big deal then there will be a couple days of buying off the back and you wouldn’t want to interrupt that with a weekend.
Unless of course its another extension and then could be Friday.
Just my opinion.
Anyone interested in other SOAs, have a look through previous updates from The Money Shop on their SOA. Was first put to creditors and customers in August 2019 with a proposal to pay 80p in the £ on redress claims - should it be voted for approval. Obviously this sailed through the court and payments due next month are expected to be circa 3-4p in the £ now that the reality has kicked in, scheme was approved and nothing anyone can do about that now.
Obviously AMGO are in a different position as they are not folding post-SOA. I believe the AMGO proposal will sail through on the fact that they have offered to top-up the pot from a % of profits for a time period, reducing risk of diminishing p in £ following approval. Really think this is one of the most solid approaches to SOA in this sector.
On to greener pastures, GL all.
Haven't posted here for a while, been watching for the sidelines but been on a journey with AMGO since last June and sold out then rebought earlier this year (albeit a smaller holding then I had built at the end of 2020).
Interested to know what peoples SP targets are now? Looks like the pendulum of success is swinging back AMGOs way.
Think you missed my point mate, was more focussed on the fact they only managed to get 60 viewers tuned in live. The content was great just the execution was poor.
Wont get a cheaper price than this, as posted this afternoon - i plan on averaging down tomorrow as currently sitting at -40%.
Hold my hands up here and say congrats to those who held for the last month after I exited - you’ve done well.
Bought back in this morning with 25% of my previous investment, good luck tomorrow all! Nice to see solid activity.
Not to the guy who rains on the positivity parade however todays webinar was another example of poor strategy from hemo.
There is no doubt that the content and what Vlad was saying was great and was much needed but putting on my professional hat here. As a someone who works in marketing & PR, my immediate thought post-webinar was ‘what a waste’.
You have the chief exec. of this company who are doing amazing things and 60 people tuned in live to the webinar. Where is the PR strategy to create a buzz around it a week in advance and attract 100x those viewers? These interviews are not just scheduled ad-hoc, there should have been a buzz around this which would have driven awareness of product candidates and boosted SP more than the 5% it closed up.
As I said, great content on the webinar but terrible execution and another great opportunity missed. Before anyone calls me a deramper, LTH here and will continue to do so.
It would be nice to see Vlad step aside as CEO and focus his time on clinical work. The funds would be there to appoint an experienced CEO with a clear strategy on business dev and communication. Can’t help but feel like its not just the SP suffering from poor PR strategy at the moment, partnerships must also be a struggle.
No doubts that Vlad is a highly skilled scientist however this company is run like a start-up at times from our limited insight. As others have said, its important to remember that Pharma investments are long term however the potential here if managed properly is huge.
