Introduction
In highly regulated industries, brand missteps aren’t just sloppy—they’re risky. And when your financial brand is represented by brokers, agents or regional offices, those risks multiply fast.
Financial services marketing can’t depend on general platforms built for retail. You need more than nice messaging and shared folders. You need control, tracking and smart delivery to every market and team.
GearBox® by IRIS Strategic Marketing Support (IRIS) delivers that. It ensures every campaign, brochure, and signage piece arrives exactly as intended—compliant, on time and customized only where it should be.
The Real Challenges in Financial Services Marketing
1. Field Customization Creates Risk
Regional teams often need to update local contacts or offers—but if they edit documents freely, logos shift, disclaimers disappear and compliance falls apart.
2. Content Delivery Is Disorganized
Agents and reps dig through shared folders or request assets via email. Campaigns get delayed. Wrong files get used. Messaging gets off track.
3. No Visibility Into Market Adoption
Without a centralized dashboard, marketing teams don’t know what’s launched, what’s printed or where help is needed.
4. Regulatory Requirements Are Ignored
When reps create one-off versions or use outdated materials, you face exposure—risking fines, confusion or loss of trust.
What Financial Services Marketing Requires to Scale Safely
Role-Based Content Filtering
Only show materials relevant to a user’s market, role or region. Agents don’t see what they don’t need—reducing confusion and misuse.
Locked Templates With Editable Fields
Enable local reps to add their phone number or license ID without breaking layouts, changing logos or altering disclaimers.
Automated Vendor Routing
GearBox® sends approved materials directly to print or signage vendors. No manual sending. No lost files.
Real-Time Usage and Launch Tracking
See who used what, when it launched and where compliance coverage may be lacking. Act fast to close the gap.
