TOUGH COMPETITION

This year, 76 companies were first-time Industry Awards finalists, and 45 firms were named in multiple categories. A judging panel of industry luminaries selected Snappy Kraken as one of only two Finalists in the category of “Social Media Leadership” (Technology Providers) for their dedication to developing visually stunning content, affordable digital marketing campaigns and professional video production services for financial advisors.

“We’ve had a great response from the industry to our ‘Seminar Freedom’ program which automates adviser marketing to capture leads, boosts attendance at virtual seminars and converts cold leads into hot prospects without taking up any more of the advisor’s time,” Sofia said. “We are committed to creating and developing new marketing products and bringing marketing automation and fresh concepts to help advisers streamline workflows and fill their client pipeline. It is a true honor to be recognized by WealthManagement.com as a leader in our field.”

A record number of nominations were submitted this year — more than 600 entries were received from nearly 250 companies. 156 organizations were selected as finalists in one or more of the 67 categories in this year’s awards program.

A panel of independent judges made up of top names in the industry will determine the 2018 award winners, who will be announced at a black-tie gala event on Sept. 13, 2018 at the Ziegfeld Ballroom in New York City.
