From brief to response

  1. Define the briefStart with the market, business profile, roles and questions that matter.
  2. Shape the audienceExplore available firm and person attributes, then confirm live contact eligibility.
  3. Make the content relevantTailor editorial, messaging, guides or an invitation to the audience.
  4. Deliver and reportUse targeted emails or newsletters, gated guides, named invitations, webinars or private events. Report delivery and response.

02 / Audience explorer

Start with the map. Find the people within it.

Move from a national audience to a firm's characteristics, a person's role and the contact channels available for a particular campaign.

Firm ≠ person

A headquarters location does not establish where each professional works. Search both when geography matters.

03 / One worked investment journey

From a comparable fund to a campaign audience.

This is one June 2026 JEPI holdings sample, not a count of every income-ETF firm or a completed campaign.

01 / Establish the comparable set

Find firms that already report holding a comparable fund.

JEPI · JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF

A holding record represents a reported position. Count each distinct firm once in the worked sample.

All 43 report JEPI holdings and meet every sequential filter. These are firms, not 43 people. RAUM is firm-level Regulatory assets under management.

03 / Turn firm fit into personal relevance

Turn those 43 qualifying firms into a relevant invitation audience.

Select appropriate professionals and confirm deliverable contacts before defining the invitation count. The firm count is verified; the invited person count is not yet defined.

Trinity Legacy PartnersHouston, TX · $521.17m RAUM · 6 firmwide reps

Proposed campaign, not an already delivered invitation. Firmwide representatives indicate scale, not an eligible mailing list.

Sample method and source

Audience database June 2026 firm-reported JEPI holdings, retrieved 3 October 2026. The source contains 1,272 holding rows; duplicate records were collapsed to 1,266 distinct firm IDs before applying the filters. A holding record is one reported position. All subsequent counts are within this sample, not the national advisory universe.

04 / California education example

A college-funding brief becomes 16 real California professionals.

Begin with firms whose profiles record 529 Plans or College Planning, then verify person location and roles before inviting anyone.

How the wider 38-firm sample is qualified

The 38 are California-headquartered profiles within the 1,266-firm JEPI sample, not the entire California market. Their 3,522 representatives are firmwide nationally, not a California person count or deduplicated emails. The 16 are the complete returned contact list for the three named firms only. Roles include investment advisor, financial advisor, CFP, relationship manager, paraplanner, CIO, CCO, co-founder and CFO/managing member. Final eligible invitation count is confirmed before booking.

05 / New York leadership example

A city, a firm profile, then an owner-level invitation.

A selective reception starts with a manageable firm set. People and contact eligibility are the next qualification, not part of the firm count.

06 / Interest-led invitation

An intentionally unusual example of how specific we can be…

Imagine your fund manager has just returned from a fishing trip and has a great story to share. What if you could put that story in front of financial professionals who share that interest, then invite them into a more personal conversation?

Suppose you wanted to find financial professionals interested in fishing in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado and Connecticut. How many people could we identify?

The answer…

That is the level of detail we can bring to your brief. Imagine the content, conversations and invitations we could create around the people you want to reach.

Women shaping the future of financial advice.

Editorial, invitation and self-reflection can work together around a distinct professional community.
