The challenge

D G Financial Services Ltd, a family-run wealth management company regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, specialises in pensions, investments, inheritance tax planning, equity release, mortgages, wealth and personal protection.

When Director Russell Golledge relocated the firm's office from Essex to the Norfolk/Suffolk border, his goal was to establish a strong local presence and attract new clients in the area.

The challenge lay in building awareness of the business in a new region and fostering trust within the local community to grow the client base.

The solution

Ripple created a comprehensive marketing strategy to enhance the visibility of DG Financial Services and establish Russell as a trusted financial advisor in the region. This included:

  • Public Relations: Securing news stories in local media outlets to highlight Russell's expertise and the company's services. This included coverage in the Diss Express with columns and news stories.
  • Advertorials and Case Studies: Creating compelling articles in the Village People magazine, highlighting Russell's successful track record and impressive client results, such as pension returns approaching 7%.
  • Ongoing Content Marketing: Establishing a regular column for Russell in the Village People magazine to provide valuable financial insights and build ongoing relationships with potential clients.

Effective editorial content

Editorial content can deliver real results. For DG Financial Services, regular features in the Village People magazines highlighted Russell Golledge’s expertise, strengthened his reputation and attracted new clients.
