Example campaign · Six-month market entry pilot

Platform market entry & qualified demand

Two connected workstreams for a platform entering the U.S. advisory market: broad editorial authority, plus named-account activation across a defined universe of target firms.

Six-month pilot

An anonymised campaign proposal example illustrating an approach. It is not a completed case study and shows no historical results.

The objective

What the programme sets out to do.

Help a platform new to the U.S. market win its first group of advisory firms. One workstream builds broad authority on independence and operating freedom; the other works a named list of target firms through to qualified conversations.

Audience

Future breakaway firms

Around 120 advisor teams considering a move to independence, where the operating platform decision is still open.

Audience

Newly independent RIAs

Around 80 recently formed firms building their operating model and choosing their long-term infrastructure.

Audience

Established challenger RIAs

Around 50 growing independent firms re-examining technology, cost and service as they scale.

Sequence

How the campaign unfolds.

  1. Months 1-2

    01

    Define and map

    Agree the target universe of 250 firms, map decision-makers and the buying group, and launch the editorial workstream.

    • Target firm list and role mapping agreed
    • Monthly flagship editorial and web-first stories begin
    • Campaign asset and landing page produced
    • Survey designed for advisor teams
  2. Months 3-4

    02

    Run both workstreams

    Editorial authority continues while every target firm receives a six-part dedicated email sequence, reinforced on LinkedIn.

    • Six-part dedicated email sequence to all 250 target firms
    • Matched LinkedIn activity to the same firms
    • Survey to measure intent and priorities
    • Optional independence readiness assessment
  3. Months 5-6

    03

    Convert and hand off

    Engaged firms are qualified and handed to the partner with context, while editorial continues to reach firms beyond the list.

    • Named lead handoff with engagement context
    • Follow-up editorial and amplification
    • Event touchpoints where they fit the calendar
    • Pilot review and recommendations
