Does A Proactive Public Relations Campaign Make Sense For Financial Advisors? An Interview With Dan


On this episode I interview Dan Sondhelm, CEO of Sondhelm Partners. He has 20 years of experience building brands in the financial services industry.

How do you establish yourself as a 'Thought Leader'?

1. Define your message and be a part of the conversation.

2. Produce content: Blog, Podcast, YouTube.

3. Repurpose content (Social Media).

Idea: Have you googled yourself? It's important!

Why social media is important for financial advisors:

1. Your competition is there.

2. Your clients are there.

3. Serious prospects are there.

Idea: Think of 'social media' as just an extension of digital media.
