I have two takes on this. On one hand, kudos for Mallouk for prioritizing marketing in a bigger, bolder way. I'd be curious to know what percentage of his revenue is dedicated to marketing spend. That would be the real lesson/takeaway for other RIAs. My other take is that this approach may actually undercut his attempt to foster name brand recognition for his firm. What prep work or positioning went into this before the ads were baked and the spend was approved? The ads showcase what the firm is not, but there's no real connectivity to who/what the firm is. I'd be curious to see if these fit into a broader strategy for positioning the firm and its professionals.
