Joseph Finora Named Up-and-Coming Long Island Marketing Executive

Finora specializes in creative marketing for financial services firms.

Laurel, NY (PRWEB) January 17, 2004 --Joseph Finora, (www.josephfinora.com) who left a corporate communications position at a Fortune 100 firm to launch his own marketing firm earlier this year, has been named an Up and Coming Marketing Executive of the Year," by the Long Island Advertising Club and Long Island Business News.

Finora, a finalist in the competition, specializes in creative marketing for financial services firms. Im honored by the recognition. Considering weve been on our own for just a few months, this is an incredible affirmation of the innovative work were doing."

Finora, whose written memorable campaigns for such firms as Oppenheimer Funds and American International Group, now focuses on helping independent financial advisors and related entities grow their businesses by providing cutting-edge marketing and media relations services.

This is becoming a highly competitive business and financial-service professionals need to differentiate themselves to grow," says Finora. Stating that youre a 'retirement specialist is no longer enough. The investing publics become more savvy and the recent wave of scandals have further hurt Wall Sts image, creating a fertile environment for the independent financial advisor."

A native New Yorker, Finora is serving a leading Long Island financial institution and some private money managers. His free 64-page report, Marketing and Media Relations for Financial Professionals, is available when prospective accounts meet or call for a no-obligation, confidential consultation.

Direct mail letters and brochures Ive written years ago are still in use because of their effectiveness," says Finora. When I moved to media relations I helped several firms get on the map. I can do the same for other businesses."
