Marketing Matters: A Creative Capital Case Study

  • October 11, 2023

If you have a service to provide, but your target audience hasn’t heard about you, does it even matter? That’s where marketing comes in. Marketing your firm and its services allows you to share your value proposition, build a brand that speaks to your desired client base, and help build loyalty with current clients.

Blackbridge Financial Irmo

Creative Capital created a brand story to fully flesh out Blackbridge Financial – Irmo’s history and mission. Utilizing that brand story, CC refreshed BBF Irmo’s website and social media – updating imagery, re-writing content, and restructuring pages to better engage with the group’s target market.

Firm manager and financial advisor Alex Lewis called the partnership valuable, citing the struggle of being an advisor and a business owner at the same time. Having limited time mean it’s important for him to be able to outsource things where he can with partners he can trust.

Matt Mikolajewski Wealth Management

After assessing Matt Mikolajewski’s goals, the Creative Capital team recommended and implemented three key elements to solidify his brand position to prospective clients while maintaining his relationships with current clients.

As the project ended, Matt expressed excitement and enthusiasm at the potential of what he would do in the next phase of his business utilizing social media and his new website. He noted his appreciation of Creative Capital’s responsiveness and collaborative work style throughout the project.

Know My Plan

Know My Plan planned to release a book featuring illustrations and diagrams of complicated financial topics, with each page including a QR code linking to a video explaining each topic. They turned to the Creative Capital team to execute their creative and interactive vision.

Business partners, Nic Nielsen and Jeff Walters, reported the process as easy and straightforward, with the entire project exceeding their expectations. Nic praised the high quality of work, especially the added logo sting and “seamless edits that made it seem like it wasn’t edited.” He also found the price reasonable and competitive compared to industry standards.

Liberty Point Advisors

Liberty Point Advisors enlisted the help of Creative Capital (CC) to create their brand, tell their story, and develop their website, all with a two-month turnaround time. While they initially researched third-party marketing services, they ultimately decided to use CC for their marketing needs, CEO, Patrick McGrory, noted that Creative Capital’s “know[ledge of] LPL Compliance was a very important detail.”

They were impressed with Creative Capital’s ability to create a visually dynamic and “perfect” website despite the shortened timeline, adding “we knew what was expected of us and you at any time. Your captured who we are are and what we do very well.”
