Strategic Marketing for Investment Banks

It’s tougher than ever to elevate your brand with thought-leading
messaging that instills trust and commands the competitive landscape.
Marketri knows how to drive growth for your sell-side, buy-side, and capital
advisory services, even in a tough market.

 

START ATTRACTING AND CLOSING MORE DEALS

Marketri understands the challenges facing investment banks

On top of grappling with an evolving regulatory climate and a rising interest rate environment that makes capital more costly, investment banks are finding it harder to identify A+ targets and close deals. Sellers are more sophisticated and bring higher expectations, and they’re no longer confined to working with a firm in their own backyard. With most bankers following a similar transaction process, there’s a risk your services could be commoditized, making it harder to attract top-tier companies. And with big-name banks spending a lot to stay visible, you need to distinguish yourself and build brand awareness based on your specialties and your victories.

All the while, it’s critical to stay in front of sellers, strategic acquirers, and private equity firms, along with referral sources that can point new business your way—each requiring distinct messaging that resonates with their unique challenges. But while referral sources prove helpful, you can’t afford to limit growth by relying too much on networking and personal connections.

Marketri understands the investment banking landscape and how to position investment bankers with buyers, sellers, and referrers. We transform your marketing into a growth driver, helping you generate a robust pipeline of leads and build new revenue for buy-side transactions, sell-side deals, and capital advisory services, even in challenging economic times.

Sending out deal announcements won’t drive the

sales cycle. And that’s just what our Fractional Chief
Marketing Officers (CMOs) provide. Your Marketri
Fractional CMO provides the direction and leadership to

differentiates your firm, keeps you visible with the right
buyers and sellers in the right sectors, and makes a
measurable impact on your business.

Fractional Marketing Model

 

The Marketri fractional marketing services model is
ideal for middle market investment banking firms that
want to optimize their resources while driving greater
growth. You gain access to a best-in-class marketing
function without having to hire, manage, and train
internal staff. We apply precisely the right skillsets and
resources your marketing plan requires, so you’ll spend
less on marketing FTEs and more on marketing outreach
and execution that drives real results. Then our
investment banking marketing experts will execute your
firm-wide or sector-based marketing plan flawlessly,
with little-to-no oversight, leveraging modern
marketing approaches proven to yield a high ROI.

Analytical Approach for
Optimal Results

 

You can’t afford to waste budget on marketing that
doesn’t work. With Marketri as your strategic partner,
you’ll know exactly which campaigns are working best
and how to adjust your spending to improve results. We
leverage analytical tools to track, measure, fine-tune,

Scrubbed has worked with Deb Andrews, Trisha Gallagher, and the rest of the Marketri team for the past 3 years now. It won’t take much to research and compare what our brand looked like before Marketri, and how it looks like now. Spoiler Alert – a huge difference in look and feel. Marketri witnessed Scrubbed’s growth these past few years and it has been a fantastic experience working with them. I strongly recommend talking to Deb Andrews about your growth needs.

We’ve worked closely with the CEO, Deb Andrews, as well as a member of her very knowledgeable team. The company I previously worked for hired on Marketri as a fractional CMO to design and implement an effective marketing program to boost brand awareness and bring in new clients. Not only that, they acted as mentors to me (Marketing Coordinator at the time) and it was the best experience for my professional career. I would recommend them for any company open to starting or transforming their marketing program!
