15. How Shane Phillips penetrated into
a heavily guarded Financial
Services Sector, and achieved a
Blue Ocean Offering using Social
Media.
CASE STUDY:
FINANCIAL SERVICES
16. Case Study: Financial Services ME
PROBLEM
• Financial Services in the Middle East is characterized by
strong boutiques presence that offers highly specialized
expertise, with strong presence in key global markets.
• Extremely difficult to penetrate by a global firm which is
NOT strong in Financial Services, and little to no stable
presence in key global FS Hubs
• Clients are hardly willing to entertain even a casual
meeting with our consultants
• We needed a strategy that will help us penetrate into
clients

LinkedIn Considerations

IMPORTANT:

grow our follower base!

36. Our Presence on Social Media
Facebook Considerations
Pages = 3 • Shouldn’t we be regulating SCI Activity on
Facebook rather than just saying no to it? If we
Groups = 3 ignore it, does it not effect our branding to be
presented in a poor image?
• Should we continue with Pages and Groups,
and get offices to manage their own within
guidelines?
IMPORTANT:
• Consolidate under one Company, Stanton
Chase International.
• Develop a Branded Company Page
consistent with our branding.
37. Our Presence on Social Media

Videos = Around 15 • Should we consider a consolidated
Stanton Chase International Channel

Ind Channels = 10
