Discerning world class marketers like Martha Steward swear by them. It is significant that more firms like this are emerging to help advisors differentiate themselves, sharpen their value propositions and institutionalize the market presence of individual advisors in ways only institutions could have previously achieved.

We use Vestorly and have found it to be an invaluable resource. Not only is the content curated but it is able to be presented on our website in a useful and eye-catching way. We generally need about 20 minutes per week to filter out overly-inclusive material, but it is a great way to provide third-party information from all sorts of publications to our clients/prospective clients. Gone are the days of sending out a mass e-mail clipping an article one hopes clients will see. This service is a real value-add for us.
