INSIGHTS FOR FINANCIAL SERVICE BUSINESSES
HOW TO IMPLEMENT A PILLAR CONTENT STRATEGY FOR FINANCIAL ADVISORS
When it comes to a successful content marketing strategy, producing high-quality and valuable content is only half the battle. To attract leads and engage your audience, they first need to be able to find your content. But with more than 600 million blogs on the internet, and an estimated 7.5 million blog posts per day, getting your content in front of your target audience can be quite the challenge.
HOW TO RUN AN INBOUND MARKETING CAMPAIGN FOR FINANCIAL ADVISORY FIRMS
If you’re a financial advisor looking to get started on your next marketing campaign, you’re probably wondering how best to connect with your target audience. The traditional method would be an outbound marketing strategy in which messaging is pushed ‘out’ to consumers to get them interested in your services. But wouldn’t it be so much easier if your audience came to you instead?
BUILD A STRONG CONTENT PIPELINE FOR YOUR FINANCIAL SERVICES ADVISORY FIRM
Content is one of the most powerful tools in your marketing toolbox for informing, entertaining, educating and engaging your customers. It’s critical, because the Financial Services buyer is in charge of the buying process and as such, you need to nurture their buying journey with helpful, useful content.
HOW TO POSITION YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISORY BRAND FOR SUCCESS
There’s a sameness that has crept into the financial services marketplace – across the board from accountants to planners and brokers the brand colours, claimed expertise and the tone of voice is quite similar. It’s almost as if there’s an unconscious feeling of comfort and safety that we experience by being part of the ‘herd’ and thus we gravitate to what we know.

MARKETING STRATEGIES FOR FINANCIAL SERVICES BUSINESSES
As featured in the Australian Financial Review, post the banking royal commission we identified three main issues that impacted financial services firms. So, what has changed 12 months on? The short answer is not much. In fact these three issues are more important to address in your marketing than ever before.
- Trust & reputation
- Short term pain, long term gain
- Lack of customer centricity

USING INBOUND MARKETING TO REBUILD TRUST IN FINANCIAL SERVICE ADVISORS, PLANNERS & BROKERS
Placing customers at the centre of Financial Services advisory, planning and broker businesses is a non-negotiable post the Financial Services Royal Commission. So how do you re build the trust in your Financial Services business? The Inbound Marketing framework is a great way to commence this journey by:
- Attracting the right customer with content tailored for their needs
- Converting engagement in your content through solutions you provide
- Closing clients with a solution that helps achieve their goals
- Delighting clients by helping beyond the service you provide
