          • About Kristen Luke:

            Marketing is hard for most financial advisors because they all look and sound the same to a prospect. Kristen helps Registered Investment Advisors market themselves to a niche, making it easier for them to stand out from the competition and attract ideal clients.

            Kaleido Creative Studio works exclusively with RIAs to build a niche-focused marketing system that produces a consistent flow of ideal prospects; differentiates firms from the competition; and eliminates the need to be the best salesperson or marketer to win clients.

            For more than 15 years, Kristen has consulted with hundreds of financial advisory firms and shared her marketing expertise via industry conferences and publications nationwide. Most recently, she has contributed her advice to FPA NorCal, DFA Study Groups, Kitces.com, Top Advisor Podcast, Kitces Office Hours, and Advisor Perspectives.
