The financial services industry is evolving faster than ever before – emerging technologies like generative A.I., DeFi (decentralized finance) and crypto pose new challenges to everything from security and privacy to heightened consumer expectations. As business and go-to-market strategies shift, it’s up to marketers and communicators to navigate educating audiences, driving awareness and ultimately fueling engagement and conversion.
To overcome these challenges and reach audiences effectively, financial services brands can leverage influencers to help tell their story. Influencers bring trust, credibility and reach to the table in ways that brands often aren’t able to achieve on their own. More than half of Gen Z and Millennial populations alone “intentionally seek out financial advice online or through social media.” Influencers can educate and raise awareness about emerging technologies, provide social proof and engage directly on a human level with their audience.
While there are many prominent finance influencers, the standouts offer valuable insights, unique perspectives and practical advice. Below we'll introduce you to a selection of finance influencers and highlight a few ways you can incorporate influencers into your communications strategy. Whether your brand targets young consumers or CFOs, leveraging influencers can help you reach highly targeted and niche audiences to drive business impact.
