Transforming Fragmented Marketing into a Scalable Growth Engine for Personal Wealth Advisory

Executive Snapshot, Personal Wealth Advisory

Personal Wealth Advisory (PWA), a wealth management firm based in Lancaster, PA, faced a common industry challenge: managing high-priority client needs while trying to navigate a complex, highly regulated marketing landscape. With a small team of eight including three partners. PWA’s marketing efforts were fragmented, lacking the direction needed to capture the shifting wealth market.

By partnering with DaBrian Marketing, PWA moved from “guessing” to a data-driven strategy. Within the first 60 days, we established a unified growth roadmap that provided leadership with total visibility, internal alignment, and a foundation for scalable revenue.

The Challenge:

High Stakes in a Shifting Industry

The wealth management industry in 2025 is at a crossroads. Firms are currently navigating a “Great Wealth Transfer,” where an estimated $68 trillion is passing from baby boomers to younger generations who demand digital accessibility and values-aligned investing.

For PWA, the internal hurdles were significant:

Resource Constraints

Limited time, budget, and internal expertise to execute compliant campaigns.

Compliance Complexity

The need to market effectively within a highly regulated environment.

Operational Gaps

A lack of clear direction and visibility into which efforts were actually driving growth.

If nothing changed, PWA risked missing growth targets, wasting budget on the wrong audiences, and falling behind as emerging technologies like AI began to reshape the competitive landscape.

The Strategy:

A Three-Phase Foundation for Growth

Phase 1

Discovery & Alignment

We began with a deep dive into PWA’s existing tech stack and data. By aligning with leadership on core business goals and gathering market intelligence, we ensured every marketing dollar would be tied to a specific business outcome.

Phase 2

Strategy & Roadmap

We defined PWA’s Ideal Customer Profiles (ICPs) and mapped the buyer journey recognizing that prospects often seeking advisors during major life milestones like retirement or inheritance. We prioritized marketing channels and built a measurement framework to track performance in real-time.

Phase 3

Execution Foundation

The strategy came to life through:

Website Redesign: Creating a digital presence aligned with the expectations of both baby boomers and younger investors.
Targeted Campaigns: Launching audience-specific campaigns with full tracking and reporting structures.
Process Improvements: Reducing time spent on duplicate efforts and repurposing content for maximum efficiency.

Early Wins & Leading Indictors

Within the initial phase of the partnership, PWA experienced a fundamental shift in how they view marketing:

Data-Driven Confidence

Leadership gained real-time insight into performance, allowing them to confidently reallocate budget toward high-impact initiatives.

Enhanced Pipeline

The new website and optimized campaigns led to increased engagement and a stronger lead pipeline.

Operational Efficiency

Better alignment between marketing and sales reduced friction and streamlined internal workflows.

Instead of guessing what’s working, leadership now has a repeatable system for making informed growth decisions.

The Outcome:

A Future-Proof Firm

Today, Personal Wealth Advisory is no longer just “managing” marketing, they are driving growth.

Improved Visibility

Increased reach through local SEO and social media.

Lead Velocity

A steady stream of leads from the website and content marketing.

Risk Mitigation

Peace of mind knowing their marketing partner manages the process with strict adherence to compliance.
