From Meta Ads to Live Events: Lead Generation for Financial Advisors

In This Episode

About the Episode:

Marketing tactics get a lot of attention. What gets less attention is the infrastructure behind them: the funnel stages, the follow-up discipline, the patience required before any of it starts to compound. In this episode, host Matt Seitz, Chief Marketing Officer at Prosperity Capital Advisors, interviews his colleague, Cary Chaitoff, Vice President of Marketing and head of the in-house marketing agency.

They collectively dig into why advisors who are doing the right things still struggle to see results, and what’s usually missing when the numbers don’t add up. The conversation spans the full marketing arc: how recent shifts in Meta’s ad delivery have changed what creative needs to do, how different lead magnets serve different funnel stages, and why consistency is the mechanism that makes everything else work.

Key Topics Discussed:

  • The Creative Shift on Meta: Why ad creative has taken on a new role in how campaigns perform and what that means for how you build and test your approach.
  • Building Your Lead Funnel: How guides, webinars, and live events each serve a different function and attract prospects at different stages of readiness.
  • Lead Nurture and Follow-Up: What happens between the download and the appointment and why this part of the process is more important than advisors realize.
  • Event Strategy That Converts: How venue, format, and what you choose not to say all influence whether prospects take the next step with you.
  • The Case for Consistency: Why pausing, even temporarily, can cost more than advisors expect and what a sustainable long-term marketing cadence looks like in practice.
