Working with AdvisorPR
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why should I invest in PR for my financial advisory firm?

Targeted and consistent public relations campaigns work to:

Integrate your message into news content
Create immediate exposure & lasting credibility
Reduce barrier of resistance with prospects
Add to your online searchability
Establish you as the expert
Create a tool you can showcase over and over again

Am I qualified to be a media resource?

Criteria we recommend for being most effective in our PR programs:

Ethical integrity—we are dedicated to amplifying voices committed to doing right by their communities
Professional designations can be helpful, but not necessary
At least 5 years of experience to feel confident answering media questions
Securities license recommended
Clean broker check – marks on your record may preclude you from certain media outlets

How does compliance work with public relations?

Our team is known for our experience and expertise in the financial industry. All materials we create for you will be provided both for your input and approval, as well as your compliance submission prior to completion.

After working with a wide range of compliance officers, we have a strong understanding of concepts like promissory language and other red flags to avoid in our content to help streamline the approval process.

For our PR programs, a media kit or materials will be provided with approved topics of expertise for you and compliance to pre-approve before outreach begins.

What’s the difference between PR and advertising?

Our PR programs are built to secure earned media resource opportunities where you will be sourced as an expert within an editorial story related to your expertise. These are not paid appearances, advertorials or any other kind of pay for play. Using media logos in this manner creates significant liability for your firm. Our authentic placements provide the highest level of authority and credibility.
