 A few weeks ago, Claire Aiken of Indigo Marketing asked me to be her guest on her marketing podcast. I was delighted to accept. In this 20-minute conversation we discuss:
 Pam Krueger of PBS Fame to Headline Interactive On-Camera Media Training at Rockhurst University in Kansas City
Long-time financial services marketing and PR consultants Maribeth Kuzmeski, PhD (www.RedZoneMarketing.com) and Marie Swift (www.ImpactCommunications.org) are for the second time in less than twelve months joining forces to bring the Advisor Thought Leader Summit (www.AdvisorThoughtLeaderSummit.com) to a select group of tenured financial professionals. The event – which is being billed as an interactive workshop and “media training on steroids” – will take place August 12-13, 2019 at Rockhurst University (http://www.rockhurst.edu).
It’s always exciting to spend time with a visionary like David Lyon, founder and CEO of Oranj, an impressive free wealth management platform for advisors. David’s insights into the financial services industry are based not only on innovative research and all the tinkering and creation that comes with building a digital solution for advisor, but also a decade of experience as an RIA serving his own clientele in Chicago as well. His client-centric approach to fintech sets up some commonsense strategies that can help to protect and grow any independent financial advising business. Speaking with David was a real pleasure.

As internet searches increase exponentially, it is vital that financial advisors pay attention to their online presence. Platforms such as the FeeOnlyNetwork.com are dedicated to ensuring that independent, fiduciary advisors are optimally visible online and thus ever more accessible to the general public.
Marie Swift to Lead Marketing Workshop at AICPA Personal Financial Planning Summit January 7-9, 201911/30/2018
Tenured Financial Advisors are Invited to “Step into the Spotlight” at The Advisor Thought Leader Summit.
Long-time financial services marketing and PR consultants Maribeth Kuzmeski (www.RedZoneMarketing.com) and Marie Swift (www.ImpactCommunications.org) are joining forces to bring the first-ever Advisor Thought Leader Summit to a select group of tenured financial professionals. The event – which is being billed as an interactive workshop and “media training on steroids” – will take place November 9th and 10th, 2018, at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business Gleacher Center (www.GleacherCenter.com). Many people – including journalists and prospective clients – find new sources and service professionals by stumbling upon them, not searching for a business or person by name. Time and time again we hear stories of advisors who can directly attribute new client activity and business growth to their online efforts – and some have even received surprise television appearance invitations and media requests from journalists seeking qualified experts to help with their stories. The lesson: have a good website and LinkedIn profile, and then add other digital assets over time (for example: a YouTube channel, Facebook page, Google+ profile and/or Twitter stream). After reading this blog entry, be sure to use the Diagnostic Tool (newly updated for 2018) to see if there are gaps in your online presence.
TradePMR (www.TradePMR.com) specializes in providing custodial services and technology solutions for RIAs. Their technology is proprietary and built by their in-house developers with RIAs in mind. TradePMR supports RIA business without a competing retail division. This specialization gives them the agility and flexibility to respond to each advisory firm’s individualized needs. “You deserve to be on a first-name basis with your back office,” says Robb Baldwin, founder and CEO. I had the pleasure of speaking with Robb in July 2017.

Working with top advisors like Tony D’Amico, founder and chief executive of Fidato Wealth (www.FidatoWealth.com), is a real joy. I spoke with Tony to uncover some of his secrets to success.
