Behind the Campaign: Visual Insights Newsletters

You know those bland newsletters that you keep forgetting to unsubscribe from?

Everyone else gets those too, including your prospects and clients. There’s a lot of noise when it comes to newsletters.

That’s why we set out to make a newsletter like no other.

With eye-catching graphics, information backed by hours of research, and professional copywriting, our Visual Insights Newsletters are anything but average.

Behind the Campaign: High-Engagement Emails

We love building automated, multi-channel marketing campaigns for Financial Advisers…especially campaigns that publish content for several weeks or months automatically. It saves our members a lot of time!

“Strategy is about making choices, trade-offs; it’s about deliberately choosing to be different.” — Michael Porter

If strategy is mostly about choices, then you can’t look at a marketing campaign and “see” strategy.

You only see the effects of a strategy.

We believe marketing teams should be public about their decision-making processes.

It would go a long way in the financial industry.

It would help others understand the strategy and the thousands of micro-decisions made along the way.

Announcing: Behind The Campaign

This is a new series, presented by Snappy Kraken, where we’ll pull in experts from our team and have them walk through the thinking and methodologies behind our financial adviser campaigns.

You’ll get to see strategy taking place.

We already research and share performance results in our yearly State of Digital and Half-Time reports (tens of thousands of campaigns launched!).
