What makes HG CORE different?

CONNECT & ORCHESTRATE RETAIL ENGAGEMENT

HG CORE is a data-driven retail investor acquisition and engagement platform designed to connect high-quality retail investors with leading micro-small cap companies. Built and refined since 2020 while working with some of the top performing TSX Venture and CSE companies, HG CORE leverages proprietary investor data and proven advertising strategies. HG CORE efficiently raises awareness, grows investor databases, drives liquidity and creates sustained market interest.

Quality over quantity. Other agencies use shotgun methods and expensive, unnecessary media buying. Established by The Howard Group – HG CORE leverages almost 4 decades of Capital Markets experience and combines it with precision online targeting to deliver measurable results. By initially engaging our large network of opt-in junior-market investors and expanding reach through advanced “look-alike” modeling, HG CORE delivers high quality & quantified investor engagement.
