December 23, 2020 By Jenn Derango

It’s hard to believe it’s already that time of year again. The time when the CSTMR content team writes a holiday jingle for me to sing on camera. I hope you have as much fun watching it as I did recording it.

Happy holidays to all of you, from all of us here at CSTMR.

See you next year!

We’re Here to Help You Grow (to the tune of “Let it Snow”)

Performed by Founder & CEO, Rory Holland

CSTMR Celebrates Growth of Fintech at 2019 Fintech Luminaries at SXSW

May 20, 2019 By Zareen Fidlon

Fintech is an industry born out of a series of sparks of ideas that have ignited and disrupted the entire way money moves. Fintech Luminaries, an exclusive VIP event held annually ahead of the world-renowned South by Southwest (SXSW), honors the fintech companies responsible for transforming the financial services world for the better.

As an agency on a mission to help fintech companies build brands and grow through purpose-driven marketing strategies, CSTMR was honored to be one of this year’s sponsors for the FinTech Luminaries event in Austin on the evening of March 9.

Expected to experience a CAGR of 74.16% between 2019-2025, fintech is one of the most influential and fastest growing sectors in financial services history. To be in the presence of so many influential members of the fintech community was as educational as it was humbling.

Part 2: The State of Fintech Marketing – Interaction

April 26, 2019 By Rory Holland

Fintech marketing: interaction metric

As fintech companies shift their marketing efforts toward brand authenticity and customer-centricity to earn customer trust, loyalty, and market share—how do they translate, measure, and analyze results in a meaningful way?

Last month, we launched a new blog series titled, The State of Fintech Marketing in 2019 and Beyond. In it, we asked a question that has the power to transform your fintech company from the inside out: In an industry that has thrived on physical, face-to-face interactions to establish trust, relationships, and integrity—how do fintech companies adapt their marketing strategies to capture the hearts and wallets of their target customers?

Today, we pose a related question with even greater implications: As fintech companies shift their marketing toward brand authenticity and customer-centricity — to earn customer trust, loyalty, and market share—how do they measure,

December 21, 2017 By Rory Holland

We’ve accelerated growth for Fintech and financial service companies at all stages of growth.

Whether it’s a humble startup, recently nourished with their first investment, or a blue-chip brand looking for exponential growth, both will likely hit a wall at some point. That’s usually when our phone rings looking for help.

Here are a few key questions to ask yourself:

  1. You’re short on experienced resources

5 Elements of a Perfect Finovate Pitch

April 12, 2017 By Rory Holland

Having been personally involved in crafting Finovate pitches and having seen many dozen more, I know how exhilarating and scary it can be. You’re putting it out there, trying to communicate all of your hard work and vision to a room full of fintech practitioners, partners and investors (don’t forget the investors!), to tell them that you are the next big thing in financial services — all in seven minutes.

If just the thought of it makes you break out in a cold sweat, here are five tips to remember that might help you prepare for your big moment in the spotlight:

  1. Keep it stupid simple – I know, the saying is “Keep it simple, stupid” (KISS), but I prefer to take it a step further. Keeping it “stupid simple” doesn’t mean dumbing it down, but getting to the very basics of your offering.
