BurgerFi International Inc., which was Fast Casuals' brand of the Year for 2021 in the Top 100 Movers and Shakers list has tapped ICR, a strategic communications advisory firm, to manage its investor relations program.

"This partnership marks another step forward in our growth strategy," Ophir Sternberg, executive chairman of BurgerFi, said in a company press release. "This year we have significantly bolstered our management team, delivered exceptional top-line growth, and have experienced very strong business momentum coming out of the pandemic through our new store openings and the successful execution of our marketing strategy. With the strategic backing of ICR, we expect to develop an investor communications strategy that will meaningfully increase our exposure."

BurgerFi CEO Julio Ramirez said ICR was a leader in strategic corporate communications.

"Working together, we expect to develop a strong investor relations strategy and increase both our transparency and connectivity to the investment community," he said in the release. "With their deep knowledge of the U.S. capital markets, accompanied by extensive experience within the restaurant industry, ICR proved to be the perfect partner. Moving forward, ICR is well equipped to enhance our current investor communications program, help us clearly articulate our Company vision, raise our Company profile, and ensure that our existing investor base, as well as new potential shareholders, are apprised of all of our corporate milestones."
