Must-Read Financial Industry & Marketing Articles
Futureproof Conference Announced
We love conferences. We love seeing people. We love live-tweeting panels. We love the closing night parties. But we also recognize that in-person events need a shakeup. And who better to give wealth management events the kick in the ass they need than the Ritholtz crew and John Swolfs, Matt Middleton, and Matt Hougan (the team behind a lot of your favorite conferences). Futureproof won’t just be a conference; it’s a SXSW-inspired festival. We can’t wait to be there next September.
Facebook Announces Its Fake Ad Numbers Are Going to Get Even Faker
Reading this article, I could just sense that the writer was a fellow ad nerd who had also run into the frustration of metrics not adding up one too many times. This article is just another reminder that digital advertising comes with a variety of sketchy byproducts depending on which platform you use. Does it mean you shouldn’t use digital ads? Not at all. Paid outreach is a key component of building your audience. But articles like this can help you know what to expect when you jump in.
Design Trends for 2022
Forecasting the future is a fool’s errand, but it does tend to get those sweet, sweet clicks. So when we see an article about design trends for 2022, we naturally want to see how someone else’s predictions stack up against the things we’re doing for clients. In this article, some of the design trends that we’re currently all about and like to see include bold backgrounds, serif fonts, social screencaps, memes, and more inclusive photography and imagery.
Here’s what we’ve been listening to this week.
Zach McDonald, President & CMO
“This is one of those songs that instantly intensifies whatever I’m doing—put your headphones in and everything is suddenly a movie.”
Johnny Sandquist, Founder & CEO
“Brandi Carlile never misses.”
Jesse Nigro, Content Writer
“The guitar solo is like a lightning strike to the heart.”
Connor Brandt, Graphic Designer
“Can’t stop listening to this track from my favorite band, The Real Zebos.”
Delaney R, Digital Marketing Specialist
“Such a great song. Jenny’s music always brightens my mood.”
