Marketing strategy
We’ll develop a marketing plan to achieve your goals
This service is aimed at businesses who want to take a more strategic approach to their marketing.
You develop financial plans for your clients after identifying their challenges, problems, goals and aspirations. Why should it be any different for your marketing?
Advisers and planners who use this service receive a comprehensive marketing strategy, which they can choose to implement using internal resources, us, other experts, or a combination of all three.
We produce marketing strategies by following a tried and tested process. Once we have agreed to work together, we’ll need to spend a day with you; fact-finding and meeting key people.
We’ll then head back to the office to continue reviewing your existing marketing and to develop a bespoke strategy. Finally, we’ll meet again so we can present our recommended strategy.
At the end of the process, you will have a detailed and practical strategy document which you can implement internally, outsource to us (or an alternative organisation), or combine both approaches. While you are under no obligation to purchase any additional services from us, most of our clients ask us to implement some, if not all, of the recommended strategy.

Get to know your business and set goals
We’ll look at where you now, and where you want to get to. We’ll understand what’s working and what’s not.
Then, just as you do with your clients, we’ll help you set goals.
Identify target clients & build client personas
Until you’ve identified your target market and developed an in-depth knowledge of their behaviours, worries and ambitions, it’s impossible to effectively market your business.
We’ll help you identify your key target markets and then build detailed client personas to support your future marketing activities.
Review your existing marketing
We’ll then review every element of your existing marketing activity. And we do mean every element; no stone will be left unturned!
We’ll look at what’s working, what’s not, and what needs adding to your strategy to ensure you achieve your goals.
Produce a plan to achieve your goals
Showing exactly what you need to do, the plan will identify roles and responsibilities, priorities and budgets.
The detailed plan will leave you in no doubt what needs to be done to achieve your goals.
Identify key benchmarks
The success of the strategy should be judged on whether it ultimately helps you achieve your goals. However, to provide indications along the way, we’ll agree key benchmarks which should be measured each month.
