Annual reports
We’re an annual report design agency that helps organisations showcase their achievements.
Annual reports can fulfil a far greater purpose than providing facts and figures about your business. Annual reports can be used as an effective marketing tool, emphasising your organisation’s achievements and quantifying your past success to all audiences.
Achieving this requires a well-rounded approach that considers design, content, and strategy, understanding your stakeholders and structuring information based on what they will find most valuable.
With a multidisciplinary team collaborating across your project, we combine the expertise of graphic design, branding, and marketing to simplify complex information with modern design. The result is an annual report that is highly engaging and digestible, without compromising on best practice.
Bringing all the pieces together, Emroy ensures your annual report is precise, engaging, and insightful, complete with crucial data, and presented in a way that your stakeholders want to read.

Our approach to annual reports
(and why it works!)
A bright idea is a great start, but without the right strategy, it can only take you so far.
We translate your ideas into a unique and tailored annual report that captures the essence of your organisation.
We love that every annual report is unique and we believe that each deserves a unique approach. Creating an annual report that’s distinctive, authentic, and memorable in a dynamic and evolving marketplace can’t be done by using a simple ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach.
Instead, we combine our unique approach with your in-depth understanding of your organisation to develop an annual report that actually works. The reason it works is because we build it just for you.

We’ll use this call to immerse ourselves in your organisation, understand its objectives and obstacles, and use our findings to create a tailored roadmap that you can follow to achieve your goals.
Frequently asked questions

Every annual report is slightly different. However, as a general rule, your annual report should include a summary of your business, corporate information, a statement from the CEO and chairperson, financial statements and a financial review from the last 12-months.
We can customise your annual report to include specific information about your business, based on the specific attributes you wish to highlight.
Annual reports highlight a company’s mission and history.

Annual reports contain information about a company’s performance over the last 12-months. They became a regulatory requirement for public companies following the stock market crash of 1929.
