Brief &
Approach
Bailard sought to raise the profile of their Sustainable, Responsible and Impact Investing practice. The goal was to establish a thought leadership platform for the practice’s director, Blaine Townsend, and the SRII practice as a whole. Its growth was a key business priority.
Vested deployed a media strategy leveraging owned, earned and social channels to raise the visibility of Blaine Townsend, and the broader SRII practice. We crafted firm-wide and SRII-specific brand messaging, and rolled this out to the sales team, then activated the messaging through a targeted media relations and content program.
We further amplified these results through a firm-wide LinkedIn strategy to share media coverage with key audiences, and create a steady drumbeat of thought leadership for Blaine.
