AGENCY INNOVATION IN FINANCIAL MARKETING
Gate 39 Media has raised the profiles of dozens of financial industry firms, agricultural hedging and brokerage firms, RIAs, funds, and more through a holistic approach. One example of this full-featured service was for Wedbush Securities, which not only required a full website redesign and development, but subsequent arms of the Wedbush business were incrementally raised and redesigned to maintain an optimal level of usability and user experience across multiple brand extensions, including the websites and advanced technology development (apps and portals) for Wedbush Futures, Kluis Commodity Advisors, and efutures – the retail trading division.
Gate 39 Media provides superior website design and execution, which essentially leads to a cascading need for optimized front-end and back-end usability improvements. Gate 39 Media provides an excellent experience for firms seeking to raise their profiles across the board.

AGENCY CASE STUDIES
Professional Pitchbooks
A service that Gate 39 Media provides to fund clients and asset managers seeking to raise AUM is the design and development of professional pitchbooks. A hedge fund pitchbook is a key marketing tool used by funds, money managers, wealth managers, and CTAs which highlights the unique value of their investment program to prospective clients and investors. A pitchbook elegantly provides an overview and analysis of a program strategy and performance and provides insight into the expertise of the strategy’s principals. An example of a successful pitchbook project was created for Carl Rothenbacher of Red River Capital. Carl said “I needed a pitchbook created on short notice for an upcoming conference. I turned to Gate 39 Media because they came well recommended. They got the pitchbook done, and it looked great! In fact, one client even said it looked like a pitchbook from a billion-dollar hedge fund!”
Monthly Reporting
Gate 39 Media provides custom content marketing services as part of the ongoing marketing strategy of retainer clients. We help create, distribute, and promote content to help engage prospects and generate leads. Using research and industry insight we implement, monitor, report on, and adjust a mix of tactics to generate the most leads for your business. The marketing strategy is the foundation of a long-term (and measurable) inbound marketing methodology. Gate 39 Media has many logged examples of successful campaigns for marketing clients. One of our futures trading brokerage firm clients has realized a steadily increasing number of trading platform demo requests (averaging 450 per month) over the past few years with help from Gate 39 Media’s consistent marketing services. Our cumulative efforts are measured and reported on monthly, so the transparency of our services fully reveals our effectiveness in implementing customized marketing tactics and plans for our financial clients.
