AGENCY INNOVATION IN FINANCIAL MARKETING
Besides classical online/offline 360°-PR services we work data driven. Lately we again did pioneer work by creating our own dashboards. They show us, which stories, products and assets investors (approx. 45.000 contacts, 95% of the Germanspeaking industry) are preferring. We observe the markets – every minute, every movement. That way our 20 consultants are able to guide clients on topics, trends and audiences. Our database (CRM) is the backbone in which we cluster and target investors as well as media. All content that we publish within our own editorial office of senior financial editors and our leading B2B media outlets gives us a detailed dayby-day scan of global markets. With this we innovated the way of financial consulting.
In 2018 we additionally founded our own IT outlet “SoS – Science of Seconds”, enhancing our solutions from Robo Advice and Crypto to innovative online services. Beth Saint, Head of Communications (Schroders) says about our work: "public imaging shows the future of communications."
