About Us

Letter from David Westcott

Dear Friends, Colleagues and Clients,

Since 2010, we have focused on providing extraordinary financial advisors with the means to develop customized marketing and communications for their clients and prospects. Our years of experience with large institutions such as Smith Barney, Morgan Stanley and Citigroup honed our skills and gave us a deeper understanding of advisor needs.

The financial services industry continues to evolve, but one constant remains: Growth is key to success. Nimble firms must stay ahead of the pack and distinguish themselves to succeed. Our branding, marketing and media services provide the critical element in achieving that goal and helping advisor firms thrive as they transition to the next phase of their business strategy.

We are grateful to our clients and colleagues for their support and we look forward to continuing to serve them with quality and excellence.

Regards,

David C. Westcott
President & CMO
Westcott Associates

Our Team


What We Do

You make the move to independence. We’ll make it seamless and successful.

There is a mind-boggling number of tasks involved when making the move to an independent practice, the most important is to secure the wide range of required resources — from a trading platform, access to products and services to legal, administrative, tax and even real estate support. It’s vital to ensure that you identify providers equipped to meet your specific needs, including the professional marketing expertise of a team that knows your industry.

Beyond logistical and practical responsibilities, when you’re in the midst of transitioning and launching a new firm and a new brand identity, you need to show your commitment to client engagement and proactive problem-solving. In addition to prospecting for new clients and building your book, you need to convince your current clients that their assets will be better off if they follow you.

The right brand for your firm.

Going independent doesn’t mean going it alone. We have the experience to help you create a solid, recognizable and impressive brand — from naming and identity to positioning and communications strategy — so your new practice is successful from Day One.

To find business, business needs to find you.

These days marketing isn’t about driving clients to where you are — it’s about reaching out to them where they are. With major financial firm experience, we know what it takes to create polished, refined and expressive print, online, video and social marketing materials that get clients and prospects off the fence and onto your book.
