Why Financial Marketers make the best mixologists

6th December 2022

Today’s chief marketing officer (CMO) must be an expert ‘mixologist’, skilled in blending strategic thinking with customer-centricity and communications with the power of data.

Creating the perfect balance of ingredients is as critical to financial marketing as it is to the art of making the perfect cocktail.

Both start with a strong strategic base, in marketing terms, those core foundations that distil the essence of your brand, your values and what you most want to be known for in your chosen markets.

A dash of creativity is vital…to stop people in their tracks, to make them think and engage meaningfully with your message in the media that they connect with most.

Then, add flavour to amplify the richness of your story, always making sure that you match your content to the tastes of your target audience.

Partner with a specialist agency immersed in your sector, that can bring its sharp industry knowledge to bear on every assignment, to ensure the perfect blend of strategy and tactical interventions (the ‘long’ and the ‘short’).

Add a cool, on-brand design, that will resonate with your target audiences.

And provide a sweet finish that prompts direct action!

To see how to create the perfect mix for your business, take two minutes to assess your business against top quartile brands.
