Breaking the Growth Ceiling: A 250% AUM Increase

We needed a structured, continuous digital engagement strategy to maximize the efficiency of our existing database.
Pacific Wealth Management scaled their firm by 250% by adding a marketing engine that supported both veteran and new advisors.

The Challenge

The firm was relying on an inconsistent, manual marketing strategy. Growth was heavily dependent on expensive top-of-funnel ad spend, while their existing database of warm leads and current clients was being underutilized.

The Solution

Kevin shifted focus to a structured, continuous digital engagement strategy. By implementing tools that automated the heavy lifting of client communication and lead nurturing, the firm stayed constantly visible to both current clients and prospective referrals.

The Success Story

Growth was previously tied only to the founder's personal outreach. Implementing Freedom360 firm-wide created coordinated campaigns that empowered junior advisors to attract clients independently.

Unexpected Benefits & Takeaways
