Content marketing isn’t a new strategy for the finance industry. For many financial institutions, the value of content marketing is the same today as it was 130 years ago: It strengthens relationships with prospects and customers by building trust. But what, specifically, are financial institutions doing when it comes to content marketing — and, more importantly, what do they need to be doing to evolve and stand out? This industry has its own unique considerations, as well, such as the fact it operates in a heavily regulated industry and its customers can no longer be categorized as being interested in only business finance or only personal finance. This white paper provides an overview of the current state of content marketing in the finance industry and explores key examples that can show you ways to evolve your own program.

Social Media Marketing Tips for Small Businesses.pdfWWW.APPZSOFT.COM
In today's digital age, social media has become an integral part of our lives. With over 4.2 billion active users worldwide, it has become a powerful platform for businesses to reach and engage with their target audience. Social media marketing, also known as SMM, has proven to be an effective tool for businesses of all sizes, especially for small businesses with limited resources. In this article, we will explore the world of social media marketing for small businesses, including its benefits, different platforms, crafting a strategy, building a presence, advertising, staying consistent, utilizing tools, and staying up-to-date with algorithm changes.
Understanding Social Media Marketing
Social media marketing is a form of internet marketing that utilizes social media platforms to promote products or services and engage with potential and existing customers. It involves creating and sharing content, engaging with users, and running ads on various social media platforms to achieve specific business goals. Some common objectives of social media marketing for small businesses include increasing brand awareness, generating leads, driving website traffic, and boosting sales.
Why Social Media Matters for Small Businesses
Think of social media as a bustling marketplace where millions of potential customers gather to connect, interact, and be entertained. By establishing your brand as a participant in this dynamic space, you unlock a treasure trove of benefits, including:
Enhanced Brand Awareness: Social media platforms help you put your brand on the map, fostering familiarity and recognition among your target audience.
Direct Engagement: Communicate directly with your customers, understand their needs and preferences, and build valuable relationships.
Targeted Advertising: Reach the right people with laser-focused ads, maximizing your marketing budget and optimizing ROI.
Cost-Effective Promotion: Compared to traditional media, social media offers a relatively inexpensive way to reach a large audience.
Increased Website Traffic: Drive valuable leads and customers to your website by promoting your content and offers on social platforms.
Boost Brand Loyalty: Foster a community around your brand, encouraging user-generated content and positive word-of-mouth marketing.
Stay Ahead of the Curve: Social media keeps you up-to-date with industry trends and allows you to adapt your marketing strategies accordingly.
Benefits of Social Media for Small Businesses
One of the most significant benefits of social media for small businesses is its cost-effectiveness. Creating a profile on most social media platforms is free, and running ads can be done with a minimal budget compared to traditional advertising methods. It also allows businesses to reach a wider audience and target specific demographics, making it easier to connect with potential customers.

Pharma Marketing: Get Started on Creating Great Customer Experiences with Jou...run_frictionless
Customer journeys are highly strategic and – in a competitive and regulated environment like life sciences – understanding them can literally make or break the success of a new drug launch, as well as efforts to achieve long-term loyalty and adherence. For pharma, added complexities start with the definition of the “customer.” While patients are the end consumers, pharma has more direct relationships with prescribing health care providers (HCPs), who significantly influence the patient experience and most certainly determine the successful marketing of medications.

anticipated. Remember, visibility of your Azure spend is very important and should always be something to keep top of mind.

The AWS Well-Architected Framework helps you understand the pros and cons of decisions you make while building systems on AWS. By using the Framework you will learn architectural best practices for designing and operating reliable, secure, efficient, and cost-effective systems in the cloud. It provides a way for you to consistently measure your architectures against best practices and identify areas for improvement. The process for reviewing an architecture is a constructive conversation about architectural decisions, and is not an audit mechanism. We believe that having well-architected systems greatly increases the likelihood of business success.

Strengthening Operational Resilience in Financial Services by Migrating to Go...run_frictionless
Operational resilience is a key area of focus for financial services firms, and could be thought of as the next goal in addressing systemic risk in the financial services sector. Regulators are also increasingly focused on this risk: it is recognised that despite many years of bolstering financial stability by enhancing financial resilience following the financial crisis, the shocks that come from the operational side can be as significant as the shocks from the financial side.
https://runfrictionless.com/b2b-white-paper-service/
Reconciliation is an essential control function in financial services, aimed at eliminating operational risk that can lead to fraud, fines or in the worst case, the failure of a whole firm. And yet, since an early push in the early 2000s that automated parts of the very back-end of the system (cash and custody), innovation in this area has stalled and operations reliant on people power and spreadsheets are prevalent.

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

Marvin neemt je in deze presentatie mee in de voordelen van non-endemic advertising op retail media netwerken. Hij brengt ook de uitdagingen in beeld die de markt op dit moment heeft op het gebied van retail media voor niet-leveranciers.
Retail media wordt gezien als het nieuwe advertising-medium en ook mediabureaus richten massaal retail media-afdelingen op. Merken die niet in de betreffende winkel liggen staan ook nog niet in de rij om op de retail media netwerken te adverteren. Marvin belicht de uitdagingen die er zijn om echt aansluiting te vinden op die markt van non-endemic advertising.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

3. Why was the Council created?
In March 2021, Klarna launched an Influencer
Council in order to develop a best practice guide
for influencers and brands advertising online and
to help shape responsible marketing practices for
the financial services sector, as more people look
online for financial guidance.
The constantly evolving nature and popularity
of different online platforms means that existing
Advertising Standard Authority (ASA) guidelines
are increasingly open to interpretation. As a result,
influencers, brands and platforms can unwittingly
fall foul of the regulations. The Council was brought
together to deliver clarity for consumers, brands,
influencers and advertising bodies regarding what
is acceptable and what is not when it comes to
advertising financial products and services.
As part of the launch of the Council, Klarna
commissioned nationwide research from Censuswide
to understand consumer attitudes on money
management, and how consumers engage with
financial guidance from influencers. The survey of
over 2,500 UK social media users revealed that more
and more Brits are turning to influencers for financial
guidance. Just under a third (30%) of consumers who
have seen an influencer or a celebrity giving financial
guidance have acted upon it, rising to 53% when
Gen-Z (those aged between 16 and 24) were asked.
Furthermore, only a quarter (27%) of the UK say that
they understand the purpose of #ad, #affiliate and/or
#gifted references on influencers’ posts. Worryingly,
of those who said they understood the purpose of
#ad, #affiliate, and/or #gifted on an influencer’s post,
nearly half (46%) actually didn’t know that #ad meant
an influencer had been paid by a company to promote
a product or a service.
Chapter 1.
Consequently, the Council has sought to provide
input from those with direct experience as to how the
guidelines can and should be interpreted on a practical
basis in order to best serve consumers – offering an
insider perspective from a variety of parties on the
current guidelines, as the market continues to evolve
and change.
Ultimately, we want all consumers to feel empowered
with the knowledge on when a post is being promoted,
and where they are being given independent financial
information. We want total transparency, greater trust
and will encourage our extensive network of retail
partners to join with us in this work.

4. Introduction to the Council members.

market continues to evolve and change.

6. Each session was led by Chairman, Christian Howes,
who kicked off each meeting with an outline of the
agenda and the desired outcome of the session.
All attendees were sent an agenda and any pre-read
material prior to the session commencing in order
to form any further points of discussion or
research examples.
All Council sessions followed a similar run of play, with
any workshop material talked through by the creator
and the Chairman finding moments for panel members
to provide comment, ask questions or give examples.
This meant for a well rounded discussion with each
expert given the opportunity to show how suggested
guidelines were interpreted through their lens –
whether that be a financial influencer, fashion
brand or mental health ambassador.
A blog post was created for every session recapping
topics covered, the conclusions and next steps.
Chatham House rules were applied to each session
meaning all information is free to use, but who made
the comment cannot be revealed. This allowed for
increased openness of discussion.
How the sessions worked.
When the sessions were held.
The virtual sessions commenced on Thursday 11th March and were held bi-weekly from this point.

7. Agencies.
• Give access to all assets needed to flag
partnership per deliverable content type
• Create briefs which flag all tags and hashtags
and include correct placement of tags
per deliverable
Brands.
• Accept influencers on the Instagram paid
partnership tool as soon as partnership
is confirmed
• Give access to all assets needed to flag
partnership per deliverable content type
• Provide water tight briefs which flag the
necessary tags, hashtags and placement
of tags and are content type deliverable
Influencers.
• Ensure that the paid partnership tool is
approved prior to the content upload date
• Download all required assets needed to
adequately flag the ad content
• Flag all relevant terms clearly in
uploaded content
All topics on the weekly Influencer Council session agendas drove back to the question of who is ultimately
responsible for ensuring that all audiences know when an influencer’s post is advertorial in content. Findings
revealed that due to the nature of paid partnerships, each key stakeholder in the process has a personal
responsibility to uphold the guidelines.
Suggested responsibilities per stakeholder are listed below:
Chapter 2.
Who is responsible?
Platforms.
• Work with regulators to ensure new content
types have adequate ways to flag paid content
in line with guidelines
• Develop new ways to make the relationship
between influencer and brand/agency more
transparent
• Platforms to create a ‘Creator code’ to uphold
values similar to Pinterest that all influencers
must sign-up to and commit to
ASA.
• To write and maintain the Advertising Codes
• To provide advice and training to the industry
on the rules and ASA positions
• To regulate influencer marketing in line with
CAP Code
Consumer.
• Use resources to educate themselves on terms
for better understanding
7
8. Chapter 3.
Geographic
challenges.
Toolkit.
The influencer Council guidelines have been
developed initially for the UK market only. Whilst global
adoption is strongly encouraged, wider understanding
of local nuances must be considered for global market
roll out. Klarna will be adopting the toolkit and rolling
out across all regions as a matter of urgency with the
intention for this to be fully adapted and rolled out
within three months post publication. This will be
both for the Klarna brand and our merchant partners.
Influencer audience/geography.
When working with influencers it’s important to first
understand the geographic reach of their followers,
which usually is broader than their location. For the
avoidance of doubt, influencers primarily based in
the UK should usually follow the UK’s rules unless the
ad is very clearly only targeting an audience outside
of the UK (for example, where the product or service
advertised cannot be purchased by UK consumers).
Influencers based elsewhere should usually follow the
rules of the relevant regulator in that country unless
they are only targeting UK consumers, in which case
the UK’s rules are likely to apply.
Whether an advert is seen as targeting UK consumers
will depend on the content and the context but factors
which increase the likelihood of this being the case
include (but are not limited to) prices given in
Sterling, the brand being based in the UK, the
influencer having originated from the UK and the
influencer having a significant UK audience. If there
isn’t a relevant regulator in that country, the ASA will
apply the UK’s rules if the ad targets UK consumers.
It would, however, be best practice to also be mindful
of the regulation in any jurisdictions where the
influencer has a significant following and who may
also have their transactional decisions affected
by the content.
Age range.
When advertising financial services products,
which are only available to those who are over 18,
steps should be taken to ensure that the influencer
does not have too many followers under the
appropriate age range.
As such, the Council recommends that brands only
work with influencers with less than 10% audience
under 18 years for any financial services product
advertisement. Equally all influencers must be
over the age of 21 years old if they are advertising
a financial services product.
8
9. Chapter 4.
Transparency
of T&C’s.
All terms and conditions must be appropriately
displayed and not hidden with filters, placed on
a background similar to the text colour or hidden
below a large number of hashtags.
All terms and conditions must be clear, fair and not
misleading in line with the FCA principles (even for
unregulated products). For unregulated products/
services they must also be in line with the CAP Code.
Brand promotion
vs. Financial
service promotion.
The Council acknowledges that there is a difference
when promoting a brand vs. a product and appropriate,
proportionate terms and conditions must therefore
be adopted.
When a brand is advertising their brand name, with no
mention of specific products, there are fewer terms
and conditions required, but all appropriate influencer
guidelines such as #ad must still be adhered to.
All ads must present comprehensive information,
there must be no misleading omissions or deceptions.
Brands
collaborating.
When brands across multiple sectors collaborate,
there needs to be appropriate signage for both
sectors. For example, when a clothing brand advertises
that Buy Now Pay Later is available, they are required
to adopt the appropriate risk warnings and compliant
terms and conditions.
9
10. Chapter 5.
Transparency.
Use of products/services.
The Influencer Council recommends that no influencer
is able to endorse a product or service that they
have not used themselves. This is important for
the authenticity of any endorsement and to ensure
consumers are sufficiently informed of the actual
views of a product or service, not just the views
presented by the brand or manufacturer.
Terms.
Klarna and the Influencer Council understands that social channels are inherently limited by time and space.
Consumers can only be reasonably expected to absorb information if it is conveyed clearly and with so many
tags currently in use across the board, this can be challenging. It is important that the influencer relationship
to brand is always clear to consumers and presented in an instantly recognisable format. The best live example
globally is from Instagram where you can highlight the relationship in-feed via the ‘paid partnership’ tool.
This should be mandatory for any brand partnership.
The Council has determined that it is essential to agree on three industry standard terms that are transparent,
easy to understand and clearly communicate the relationship of influencer to brand which can be utilised across
all platforms.
Klarna propose to create a social terms glossary that sits on the landing page on the Klarna site, as well
as potentially an Instagram highlight, which highlights the key terms for a core educational moment.
The below table moves away from the traditional hashtag and uses brackets to clearly signal the term and post.
Use of filters.
Influencer Council guidelines support the ruling
that no filters should be used on paid partnerships
whereby the effect disrupts the actual appearance
of the product. For financial services this would apply
to co-marketing e.g. when an influencer is paid to
promote a retail partner and a filter could alter the
appearance of a product beauty, fashion etc.
Term Definition
[ADVERT]
Paid deliverable with a level of editorial control
by brand.
Post featuring a gifted product whereby the
influencer has had a monetary relationship
with brand in last 12 months.
[GIFTED]
Organic gifting by brand. No editorial control.
Not guaranteed to post.
No previous monetary relationship in the
last 12 months.
[AFFILIATE]
Financial benefit to the influencer.
NB: ASA currently advise against using this.
#KlarnaAD
This will be used as a sticker for influencers
within story feeds. Equally used as an additional
hashtag on posts to help curate our influencer
content and allow us to monitor volumes and
ensure we are delivering on 25% of all content
developed promotes financial wellness.
10
11. Mental health.
Emotive language and tone of voice.
Language and tone of voice should never encourage
impulse buying or unplanned purchases. It is
everyone’s responsibility to encourage responsible
spending, avoiding things such as a shopping spree
or purchasing items outside of an individuals means
of repayment.
• Influencers should not encourage consumers to
‘sign up now’ without appropriate risks warnings
• Should not imply that it is a risk-free way of
obtaining credit
• As such all content should never contain the
following language
Irresponsible messaging Over-consumption
Impulsive: e.g. ’Get it now’
Limited time or product stock: e.g. ’No more FOMO’
Affordability: e.g. ‘Don’t wait till pay day’
Wording such as ’Spree’ or ‘Haul’, etc.
Discussion of mood and feelings –
mental health considerations.
Not suggest a use of the finance product will lift
a users mood or enhance mental wellbeing.
Not suggest that use of the finance product can lead
to social success or popularity.
Many people struggle with mental health issues that
cover a broad spectrum of areas. At any given time,
it is estimated 1 in 4 people will have a mental health
issue. This number is likely to be significantly higher
following the global Covid-19 pandemic and the post
traumatic consequences. It is well documented that
poorly managed debts and financial difficulties can
have a negative impact on mental health. Similarly,
there is evidence to support that people spend
excessively in times of mental crisis. The conundrum,
of course, is the risk of vicious cycles.
Given the consequences that can accompany hasty,
habitual or compulsive purchasing we believe it is
a necessary responsibility for sellers, lenders and
anyone involved in the advertising process to be aware
of the potential detrimental impact to psychological
health that irresponsible advertising can cause.
Advertising campaigns should not encourage people to
spend or borrow more than they can afford and should
not precipitate, perpetuate or compromise the mental
health of any individual. Protecting an individual’s
wellbeing is a shared societal responsibility and we
believe in the importance of protecting people when
they make a financial decision but also when they
might be vulnerable.
Everyone involved in advertising, promotional, selling
or lending campaigns has a responsibility and a duty to
be transparent, responsible, compliant with guidance
and fully aware of potential consumer vulnerabilities.
The future is a culture of truth, trust and transparency.
We believe this is the essence of commercial ‘wellness’.
Use of music.
Should not have any lyrics which could be interpreted
as encouraging reckless behaviour around spending.
Age.
Should not have a particular appeal to under 18s or
incorporate images of people who are, or look as if
they are, under 21 years of age.
11
12. Our commitment (Klarna as a brand).
All of the Influencer Council work is underpinned by the below core mission statements which reflect our
commitment to our audience on social.
• 25% of all paid partnerships to communicate a
solely financial responsibility message
• Only work with influencers who regularly use our
product to ensure authenticity
• Only work with influencers with less than 10%
audience under 18yrs
• Deliver an onboarding process for influencers to
becoming a partner. Cover off brand/product/T&C’s,
must agree to utilise our Klarna finance influencer
toolkit & guidelines. Showcase due diligence to
ensure influencers understand the product/brand
• Create a consumer facing influencer pack
which outlines glossary of terms and how we
work with influencers
• To only work with merchants on paid partnership
content if they have agreed to adopt the Klarna
influencer guidelines
• To request new brands signed up to Klarna adhere
to our Klarna social guidelines & influencer toolkit
12
13. Chapter 6.
Best practice per platform.
Instagram Stories.
• Klarna branded story slates with a start & end frame and labelled up as ADVERT
• Instantly recognisable as an advert, clearly calling out T&C’s
• Additional copy to highlight if consumers are unsure what the # means – swipe up here and take
you to our glossary which would sit on Klarna homepage
13
16. How adoption by other brands when managing the advertisement of Financial Services
product could look:
16
17. Instagram Main Feed.
• Insert an end frame on Instagram carousel calling out clearly as ADVERT with T&C’s
• All people would use the paid partnership tools
• Include [ADVERT] at the front of the caption. Additional copy to highlight if consumers are unsure what the
# means – go to klarna.com/glossary for more information
17
18. Instagram Reels & TikTok Video.
15 second Reels
• Start with a 2 second branded frame signposting as ADVERT and calling out T&C’s
• Potential for influencers to select front frame from a library of options created by brand
OR
• Banner overlay
• Caption to include call out of relationship
• Edit suite function on the Klarna site to be available to support on this function as part of our influencer toolkit
– which would be for use by paid influencers to enable swift adoption
18
19. YouTube.
• Start with a Klarna filmed pre roll calling out full T&C’s and clearly labelling as ADVERT
• Title & Description to include call out of relationship as paid ADVERT at the start
19
20. IGTV (Instagram TV).

T&C’s and clearly labelling as ADVERT
• Potential for influencers to select front frame
from a library of options created by brand
Instagram Live.
• Must verbally call out that it is an ADVERT within the
first 1 minute and state in intervals throughout the live
• Must state in the caption that it is an ADVERT clearly
• Must pin caption to the screen throughout
entire broadcast
Clubhouse & Twitch.
Twitch.
• Must verbally call out that it is an AD within the
first minute
• Must clearly state in an image overlay that it is an
ADVERT, which is persistent through the whole
stream. N.B opacity must not be set so low that
it is hard to view
Clubhouse.
• Must verbally call out that it is a paid sponsorship
within the first minute
• For regular series or scheduled events a reminder
at regular intervals that the sessions is sponsored
by Klarna
• For one off Clubhouse sessions naming should be
clearly identifiable as a commercial partnership,
for example “In association with Klarna.” This is
in addition to verbally calling out that it is a paid
partnership with Klarna
20
21. Chapter 7.
The future of the
Council.
Our ambition is for the Council to continue to meet
twice a year*. At least 50% of the Council will attend
to ensure consistency.
The first Council follow-up meeting will be scheduled
for November this year (date tbc).
Chapter 8.
What do we want
to see?
We want widespread adoption of the whitepaper
and influencer guidelines across the entire financial
sector and ideally to drive a movement within all
influencer marketing.
• Platforms to find solutions such as paid partnerships
on Instagram and rollout to all inventory. Platforms
to ensure that targeting can be implemented to
only allow financial services content to be served
to those of an appropriate age e.g. over 18 or 21
dependent upon the product
• Platforms to endorse the Klarna whitepaper and
develop their own codes for brands and influencers
to adhere to
• Platforms to hold influencers and brands
accountable for misleading consumers
• Regulators and government to launch bi-annual
training for anyone in influencer marketing to train
people on latest guidelines etc.
• Email/ newsletters from regulators on what has
changed etc.
*Please note, should an incident arise or there
be a seismic shift in public opinion, new concerns
raised from our survey or new platforms erupting
(e.g. Clubhouse) then we’d look to organise a
Council session sooner to allow us to respond
in a timely manner.
