Snappy Kraken gives modern RIAs everything in one connected system—automation, CRM sync, AI, analytics, and award-winning content—so marketing finally runs itself.

Broadridge's AdvisorStream offers a vast library of third-party news, but relies on generic website infrastructure and stops short of the actionable, behavior-driven automation today’s growth-focused firms need.

Why Snappy Kraken Stands Out From The Competition

database-settings

Start Conversations, Don't Just Send News

 

Generic, third-party financial news doesn't build relationships. Original, behavior-based campaigns get higher engagement without spamming your clients.

Purpose-Built Tech, Not Generic Templates

 

Don't risk your firm's brand on generic Wix templates. Get a proprietary growth engine built specifically for the unique compliance and conversion needs of RIAs.

Stop managing separate lists. Your marketing automatically updates based on real-time CRM activity so you never miss an opportunity.

With Snappy Kraken:

 

  • Turn your website into a dedicated growth engine, instead of relying on generic "off-the-shelf" website builders.
  • Move beyond passive content libraries with automated, behavior-driven campaigns that actually identify intent.
  • Give your firm a specialized, compliance-ready system that scales, rather than settling for a legacy data conglomerate.
  • Walk into pipeline reviews with actual marketing-sourced opportunities, not just vanity metrics like newsletter open rates.
