Seven Group will roll out a new campaign feature on its financial advisor marketing platform in late August that will enable advisors to deploy campaigns directly from the platform, Alex Cavalieri, co-founder of the company, told ThinkAdvisor.

The new feature will also allow advisors to upload and manage their prospect lists, distribute multiple email campaigns and "understand the impact each one is having through our Campaign Performance dashboard," he noted.

The content within each campaign "will tackle real-time market news, as well as tactical, foundational topics," he said, adding that, as a result, advisors will be able to "understand the true impact of their marketing and content and understand what works with clients and prospects."

The firm's platform, unveiled in May, helps advisors create a marketing model that drives growth and lowers costs over time.
