Gary Foodim leads a marketing department that has become a direct driver of Mercer Advisors' industry-leading organic growth. Over the past year, he has built four distinct marketing programs — direct-to-consumer digital, community events, earned media, and content, creating a scalable growth engine that attracts, engages and converts prospective clients into long-term relationships. His community events program drove 76 new clients across 8,000 attendees (including prospects and clients) in 2025 alone, while content volume tripled year over year. Gary’s leadership reflects a simple philosophy: effective marketing should not merely build brand awareness — it should help more families understand the value of financial advice while delivering measurable business results. His work has established marketing as a strategic driver of Mercer Advisors' continued growth and national leadership within the RIA industry.
