Editor – Financial Promoter (London)
Financial Promoter is the UK’s freshest financial title. It is Rhotic Media’s customer magazine serving marketing managers at banks, asset managers, fintechs, payments companies and beyond.
Launched in April, Financial Promoter landed in print initially as a high-quality, quarterly magazine. It is about to launch a sister website in the coming weeks and related events in the months that follow.
After a phenomenal response to the initial print launch, we are accelerating our plans to expand the title, building a dedicated team within the business, in response to market demand.
Key to this is recruiting an enthusiastic and ambitious journalist who wants to make a name for themselves as the editor of this exciting new title.
Financial Promoter analyses marketing campaigns of financial services companies across capital markets and retail finance. We speak to marketers in banking, investment, pensions, lending and professional services. We cover major financial conferences, seminars, and exhibitions around the world, focussing in on campaign trends so marketers better understand what their peer group are doing.
As a customer title, Financial Promoter is designed to support Rhotic Media’s clients. It features the success stories of the agency’s clients, but also helps potential clients identify opportunities by educating them on strategies and the activities of their peer group.
