Introduction

Profile
Executive wealth manager based in Singapore. He helps ambitious Filipinos grow their wealth.
Platform
YouTube, launched from scratch.
Objective
Build a channel that brings in qualified investment clients.

Background

We worked with Rico, an executive wealth manager, to launch his YouTube channel from scratch.

Seven months in, a channel with a few hundred subscribers was already one of his best sources of clients.

Challenge

A small channel can still fill a calendar, if it's built for the right people.

  • No channel and no audience to start with.
  • Investment clients need a lot of trust before they book a call.

Solution

Through the CEO Framework

C

Customer

We built the channel for ambitious Filipinos who want to grow their wealth, not for everyone.

E

Edge

A library of long-form investing and finance videos that shows how Rico thinks.

O

Offer

Viewers who trust him become qualified leads for his investment practice.
