Know Thy Partners-Gramercy Institute Partner-Check Service

Partnership between financial firms and the thousands of marketing partners seeking to work with them is today a necessary part of doing in business in the financial services marketing space. Sorting through these potential partners to find the real value leaders is daunting and (potentially) dangerous work. Gramercy Institute’s helps to relieve some of the uncertainty through its Partner-Check Service. Through its Partner-Check service, Gramercy Institute fields opinion requests to marketers at other financial firms to request their reputational “take” on a potential partner. Gramercy Institute then consolidates these opinions and other available information into a “Gramercy Partner-Check Brief” to help marketers make a better-informed decision before engaging a partner.  Three (3) Partner-Check reports are available to Gramercy Institute member brands each year at no charge. Partner-Check reports cost $1100 for each report thereafter.

The Sense of the Industry: Gramercy Reports

Gramercy Institute regularly undertakes, backs and sponsors important research for the financial marketing industry and releases these studies to its member firms. Member firms receive access to all Gramercy research reports. Recent reports include: Crisis Response, Financial Marketing in the New Normal, and a Five-Part Interview Series that Involved 17 senior industry leaders analyzing various aspects of financial marketing in light of the Global pandemic crisis. Additional reports and single-focus webinar interviews take place all year along providing value to Gramercy Members.

Example queries are virtually limitless, as long as information is available to Gramercy research team. Most “One-Pager” research requests are turned around within two (2) business days. Some conditions may apply. Gramercy member brands receive up to three (3) “One-Pager” reports per year with their membership.  Beyond this, there is a charge of $495 per report.
