Retirement Plans Public Relations, Advertising, and Marketing Roundtable
Holiday Season 2016 Semi Annual Meeting
The WOW! Factor
Thursday December 1, 2016
New York, NY
Hosted by: AB
*Registration requires an invitation code
Background
Your job is to dazzle institutional retirement buyers and their advisors to win business. You need big ideas to make that happen.
Firms of the retirement plans vertical (advisory firms, recordkeeping service providers, participant education providers, communication service providers, and investment managers) are challenged with getting the attention of extremely diverse stakeholders who suffer from information overload and non-differentiated messaging. It takes a WOW! Factor to spur the momentum and viral communications that lead to business success.
The need to deliver a personal BIG surprise to each and every member of the audience arises in the midst of a revolution in mobile technology that has everything and everybody in constant motion. To help you position your firm and enhance industry effectiveness, the Roundtable facilitates peer discussions among public relations, advertising, and marketing professionals of the retirement plans industry.
The sharing of experiences and positions allows everyone to identify the real-life solutions that help you stand out in a crowded space.
