  Develop channel strategy and create strategic communications for the asset management industry. Specialize in institutional and intermediary channels

  and firm stories

  investment strategy presentations

  and white papers. \n\nA client asked me to review their literature system as a consultant. I proposed

  instead

  that they needed a third party communications strategy featuring quarterly white papers. I proposed a calendar based on market trends and marketable products

  brainstormed and proposed ideas

  and then researched and wrote the white papers with subject matter experts. Each paper concluded with an actionable insight for advisors to use with clients

  and some resulted in media and conference opportunities.\n\nSample Paper:\n“‘Corporate Inversion’ (Expatriation): Bad for the U.S.

  Good for U.S. Stocks?” discussed on \"Opening Bell with Maria Bartiromo
