The Investment Management context

What full-funnel advertising means for investment management companies

Investment management marketing for asset management firms operates under the SEC Marketing Rule (effective November 2022), with provisions covering performance presentation, hypothetical performance, testimonials, third-party ratings, and books-and-records retention. State-level adviser registration adds further constraints for smaller firms.

Empire325 plans and executes full-funnel paid media programs across Meta, Google, LinkedIn, programmatic display, CTV, and emerging channels. Every campaign ties to closed-loop revenue attribution — we measure outcomes, not impressions.

Investment Management is a regulated sector, which materially changes how full-funnel advertising engagements have to be structured. Empire325 operates within the applicable compliance framework (FINRA guidance, supervisory review, and documented approval workflows) rather than around it. Programs are co-designed with your compliance counsel and chief compliance officer so that creative, distribution, measurement, and reporting all survive an audit. This is materially different from generic agency engagements that treat compliance as an afterthought and produce campaigns that get retroactively pulled or restricted.

For the canonical industry framing, see FINRA — Empire325 references that source-of-truth when building the measurement, attribution, and compliance baseline for every investment management full-funnel advertising engagement. The methodology layer above it draws on Meta for Developers and our own production patterns from prior investment management engagements.
