Call for participation: Using social media for financial services marketing
I've had the opportunity over the past year to work with a lot of banks and credit unions, insurance providers, and investment management firms. Marketers at financial services companies face a number of challenges other marketers don't — most importantly, confusing and often ill-defined government regulations — but yet I've been impressed with the social media efforts I've seen from many companies in this category.
I've decided to research and write a report on how financial services marketers can most effectively use social media. We'll be including lots of our data on how different types of financial customers engage with social media, of course — but I'd also like to collect more insight from the marketers' perspective.
If you're a financial services marketer, and you're willing to walk us through examples of how you've used social media, talk to us about how you manage risk and work with your legal and compliance departments, and share with us some of the lessons you've learned in social media marketing, then we'd love to talk to you.
