Executive Vice President of Marketing at C2P Enterprises,
Matt Seitz, was recently quoted in an article by
Barron’s regarding
the new SEC marketing rule which went into full effect November 4
th, 2022.
Over
3/4 of
compliance staff at
registered investment advisor firms said the new SEC marketing rule is the hottest topic of the year.
Matt describes the collaborative process of working with Chief Compliance Officer
Ryan Warner, CFP®, to identify which elements of the new SEC marketing rule to focus on, like updating the
compliance training processes.
Before these new regulations, you could not utilize first-hand accounts from satisfied customers. But that has all changed! Now you can use testimonials to maximize your marketing efforts.
Barron’s quoted Matt, saying:
“We plan to incorporate testimonials and endorsements into our existing campaigns to help illustrate our value proposition and strengthen our brand. The powerful part of the new marketing rule is it allows us to let our clients and partners help tell our story. I also see third-party ratings coming in handy for recruiting new advisors and staff members to our team. People want to know they are joining a strong company with a loyal client base.”
Recently, Matt and Ryan co-hosted a
seminar to share their knowledge with other advisors to prepare for the change.
