Performance marketing for RIAs

Ex-AmEx, ex-Amazon. Now I run paid ads exclusively for RIAs.

I run done-for-you paid ads and AI-powered lead nurture for wealth managers — your prospects go from first click to booked meeting without your team lifting a finger. You just show up to the call.

Story

Why marketing for wealth managers — from a guy with AmEx and Amazon on his resume?

American Express

I came up in financial services at American Express, where I learned how regulated industries work — what compliance actually requires, why trust is everything, and how the best brands earn it slowly and lose it fast.

Then at Amazon, I ran performance marketing at a scale most agencies will never touch. I learned to think about cost-per-acquisition the way an engineer thinks about latency: an obsession, not just a number on a dashboard.

The intersection

Most marketing agencies serving RIAs are generalists. Most performance marketers don't understand financial services. I sit in the rare intersection: tech-finance background, performance discipline, niche-only practice. That's why I work with one firm per metro — the playbook is too targeted to share between competitors.

Services

What I actually do for RIAs

01

Targeted Paid Acquisition

Meta and Google campaigns built specifically for wealth management — niches, geographies, demographics. Compliance review baked in.

02

End-to-End Pipeline (Done For You)

AI-powered lead nurture, qualification, and booking. Every step from ad click to scheduled call runs without your involvement. You step in when the prospect is on your calendar — not before.

03

Performance Reporting

Dashboards built for advisors, not marketers. CPL, CAC, projected AUM contribution — the metrics that actually matter to your business.

Proof

Results that compound, quarter after quarter

The average LTV for a financial advisor client is over $20,000. Our average customer acquisition cost is $3,200.

Campaign results: 230 leads at $3.11 per lead, 13,849 reach, $716.40 spent
Campaign results: 65 leads at $37.57 per lead and 2,449 content views at $0.20 each

Philosophy

How I work with RIAs

I work with one firm per metro. Two-week decision window. First month free. After that, only paid relationships with firms I'm proud to grow with.

20-min call. No pitch deck. Just a conversation about whether your firm is the right fit for my next slot.
