DTCC

Brief &
Approach

DTCC sought to elevate the profile of their CFO Susan Cosgrove as a key component of the industry utility’s strategic initiative to shift the perception from back-office infrastructure to a partner for innovation.

Vested identified the theme of the CFO as a driver of innovation to be the central pillar of Susan’s thought leadership platform. Working closely with Susan’s office and the DTCC executive suite, Vested developed key messages across paid, earned, shared and owned
channels for DTCC for execution of the campaign.
