Marketing tech provider Snappy Kraken has launched a new tool designed to help financial advisors streamline their marketing efforts.
On Monday, the marketing technology firm introduced its new Marketing Hub, which integrates various marketing components into a single interface.
According to Robert Sofia, founder and CEO of Snappy Kraken, the Marketing Hub helps bridge a knowledge gap for advisors by helping them pinpoint which strategies and marketing areas are truly effective in driving growth for their business.
"Unlike other solutions that lump all marketing contacts and data together, obscuring which activities are performing best and which clients and prospects are most engaged, the Marketing Hub brings the most valuable opportunities to the surface," Sofia said in a statement.
The launch of the Marketing Hub follows Snappy Kraken’s State of Digital Report, an in-depth analysis of marketing trends in 2024, which identified several hurdles advisors face when developing their marketing campaigns.
Among the key features of the Marketing Hub, the Opportunity Feed collects and prioritizes lead activity from various sources, highlighting the most engaged prospects with lead scoring to help advisors focus on their best opportunities. This tool also lets advisors drill down deeper with insights into active leads’ interests based on their interactions with content.
Meanwhile, the Marketing Calendar provides an overview of all scheduled and published content across different channels. It helps advisors better organize their marketing efforts by visually mapping activities over time, identify potential gaps, and make real-time adjustments.
Finally, the Marketing Insights Dashboard offers a visual breakdown of which content types and channels garner the highest engagement and conversion rates. According to the firm, the dashboard offers performance insights and analytics that spotlight growth trends and campaign effectiveness, which helps advisors make more informed decisions.
Snappy Kraken is including the Marketing Hub in all its product subscription offerings, Sofia said, to “[ensure] that every financial advisor, regardless of their financial commitment, can unlock meaningful growth opportunities.”
Angel Gonzalez, the fintech firm’s chief marketing officer, noted that the overwhelming number of marketing tasks advisors have to do, as well as the sheer diversity of tools they have to use, often results in fragmented and ineffective marketing strategies.
The cost of marketing for advisors is certainly non-trivial, according to a recent survey by Broadridge Financial Solutions, which found advisors spend nearly $16,000 a year on marketing, with an astounding 85 percent not having a marketing strategy in place.
"The Marketing Hub addresses this head-on, distilling complex activities into clear, actionable steps that improve engagement and campaign performance," Gonzalez said.
