Welcome to our digital marketing round-up
Here at Kurtosys we fall down the digital rabbit hole so you don’t have to. We’ve pulled out some of the best reports, eBooks and articles from the digital sphere, ready for you to use for effective fund marketing.
This week’s round-up gives you innovative creative marketing ideas, tips on improving blog content and the latest news on #fintech start-ups.

Potential leads are therefore more readily available than ever as users of mobile apps and, as Polly Alluf outlines, archetypal marketing strategies are just as valuable away from the web.
Customer Experience
This report identifies that new Robo Advisors are created on “an almost weekly basis” – a surprisingly alarming rate. Destined to become the most fundamental tool in commercial and personal wealth management, it begs the question: how user friendly are these computerised advisory tools? Francis Groves assesses this, and the longevity of different Robo Advisors within a competitive market, using extensive and comprehensive research.

Industry News
Blockchains are a hot topic nowadays, and start-up company Tallysticks is hoping to share its software with major energy companies. It seems an exciting prospect, and a glimpse into the future of financial technology.
Every company starts somewhere, not in the least Tom Villante’s ‘YapStone’.
Amy Feldman‘s article details its founding; an inspirational story for entrepreneurs in the financial sector. Villante even states what we’re all in agreement with: FinTech is “sexy”. That’s why we’re all in this industry, right?
