Frequently Asked Questions

Because this is how investors consume and evaluate information today.

  • Video consistently outperforms text on LinkedIn for reach and engagement
  • Investors are more likely to watch, remember, & trust a short video than read a
    post
  • Short-form video is one of the most prioritized formats across social platforms
  •  

In Canada specifically:

  • A majority of Canadians engage with financial content on social platforms
  • Nearly 9 in 10 report taking some form of action after watching financial content
  • Adults aged 35–60 consume an average of 17 hours of short-form video per
    week

For advisors, video isn’t about entertainment. It’s about visibility, familiarity, and
credibility — showing up in a format investors already trust.

Most advisors spend less than 20 minutes to record their videos for the month, including multiple takes if needed. Each script is approximately 45 seconds long. Once your phone is set up and lighting is in place, it’s a simple, repeatable process. Many advisors
batch-record multiple videos in one session to minimize disruption to their day.

Yes. The script library is designed to be easy to navigate and flexible to your
practice focus. You can:

  • Browse by theme (e.g.,: retirement, tax planning, estate planning, market
    insights)
  • Choose a curated series, such as:
    • Women & Wealth
    • Private Banking
    • NextGen

Yes — and this is an important distinction. Social video does not need to be professionally produced to be effective. In fact, overly polished video often performs worse on platforms like LinkedIn because it feels less personal and less authentic.

Recorded properly on a phone or laptop, these videos are more than appropriate for a high-net-worth audience. They feel direct, credible, and human, which is exactly what builds trust.

Most advisors feel this way at first. We provide coaching and guidance to help you feel comfortable on camera, including tips on delivery, framing, and pacing. Confidence builds quickly with repetition, especially once advisors see how their content is received. You shouldn’t be aiming for perfection; you want to show up as clear, calm, and credible.

Advisors who get the most value from video tend to approach it differently. They:

  • Focus on consistency, not perfection
  • Treat video as part of relationship-building, not marketing
  • Don’t worry about saying something new; they focus on saying the right
    things well
  • Batch-record to reduce friction
  • Use video to reinforce conversations already happening with clients and
    prospects

Video works because it accelerates trust. Advisors using short, consistent video often
see:

  • Faster recognition from prospects (“I feel like I already know you”)
  • Warmer introductory conversations
  • Higher response rates to connection requests and follow-ups
  • Increased engagement from existing clients

Importantly, video doesn’t replace referrals or relationships — it supports them. It helps
prospects validate you before they ever reach out.

This is a common and valid concern. These videos aren’t original thought leadership. They’re meant to clearly explain common, high-stakes financial topics in a professional, compliant way, and build trust. Your audience isn’t comparing your video to other advisors. They’re experiencing your explanation — in your voice, with your experience, and your credibility. And your network will be different from that of another advisor.

No. LinkedIn does not penalize creators for covering the same topics or using
similar language. It does not evaluate spoken scripts the way search engines
evaluate written content. Different advisors recording the same script are treated
as completely separate content.
What LinkedIn prioritizes:

  • Original video files
  • Real people on camera
  • Watch time and engagement
  • Consistency over time

Yes. The scripts are written for a more sophisticated investor audience, including business owners, professionals, and high-net-worth families. The language is clear and accessible, but never simplified to the point of feeling generic or entry-level.

The one exception is the NextGen series, which is intentionally written for 18-30-year-olds and uses a more introductory tone to meet that audience where they
are.

You need to get compliance approval on the script before recording, so the body must be used as is. However, you can personalize the opening or closing line.

Yes. The scripts are:

  • Educational in nature
  • Created by someone with over 20 years in wealth management marketing
  • Designed to align with CIRO guidelines
