We’re excited to announce the launch of our new sister website: Financial Services Marketing.
Over the last 3 years we have built our digital agency in 4 verticals: Home Services, Financial, Health, and Schools.
Now, because of the development and advancement of our unique digital marketing program for financial advisors, we are launching financialservices.marketing.
We have worked with 2 major MGAs (Managing General Agents) including being the digital marketing strategic partner of HUB Financial since May 2020. We regularly present on webinars to HUB’s 6,000+ Canadian financial advisors.
As a financial services marketing agency, we’ve ran campaigns for wealth management, life insurance, health benefits, and other financial products and services.
From our campaigns for financial services companies over the last few years, there are 3 particular needs that our plans solve:
1. Digitizing Your Business
Creating an online experience or virtual office for your current clients and intake of prospects. This means having an online booking system, client intake forms, follow-ups and notifications.
2. Getting Found Online
Through Google My Business, Local SEO and content marketing, you have to be easily found and standout in Google Search for your services and location.
3. Boosting your referrals
When people learn about you via your happy clients and their networks, you need to not only be found but also have proof that you are what they preach. This means online reviews, thought leadership articles and retargeting to showcase your authority and reputation.
A Note about Paid Advertising / Google Ads for Financial Advisors
Although effectively using paid ads online for financial services may be hit or miss, it really depends on your stage of adoption and how you deploy it as to whether it’s worth it.
We can assess your company and give you expert advice on what you might get from an online paid advertising campaign (using Google Ads search or display retargeting).
Ads are not for all financial advisors although as long as you don’t depend on them and are realistic with goals and budget, may be worth implementing. We have experience running many campaigns and can give you the full lowdown.
Our Digital Marketing Program for Financial Advisors
Our plans emphasize less about lead generation and more about marketing support, convenience and freeing you up to focus on your core skills: advising and meeting your clients.
We’re here to supercharge your marketing and help you transform the way you do business through online channels.
For less than the cost of a part-time assistant, we have full-service plans depending on which stage of online adoption you are in:

- 53% of millennials would seek out a new advisor if their current advisor wasn’t utilizing satisfactory technology
- Hybrid work solutions and virtual meetings are here to stay
- Zoom has over 300 million active monthly users globally
