Great publicity sometimes requires simplfying complex financial concepts

In this article

    Making Boulay’s feature article happen required our expertise in helping clients simplify complicated concepts. It’s one of our secrets for getting high-caliber publicity for clients in just about any industry.

    When I spoke with veteran Star Tribune Columnist Todd Nelson, he liked the idea of interviewing this client who specializes in business finance. We worked together to find a strong angle that would be timely and resonate with readers, landing on the still relatively unfamiliar concept of business succession planning for baby boomers, which is becoming a growing concern for many businesses today. The result was a feature article and sidebar that did an excellent job of describing Boulay’s and services, gave a nice snapshot of its culture and history, and clearly communicated several of the client’s key value points.
