Finance Digital Marketing, AI & MarTech Consulting

I help financial services firms adopt AI and modernise marketing with governance and regulation front of mind. The common problem is pressure to use AI and automation without a clear, defensible line on what is allowed, what is logged, and what is too risky to touch.

The challenges finance faces

Governance-first AI

Every use of AI has to be explainable and defensible to compliance and regulators, which rules a lot of off-the-shelf tooling out.

Regulatory caution

Marketing claims, data use, and targeting all sit under rules that carry real penalties.

Vendor and platform risk

Off-the-shelf tools can move data or make claims the firm cannot stand behind.

Trust as the product

In finance, reputation is the asset, so anything that erodes it is expensive.

The approach for finance

Set the guardrails before the tools. A clear, defensible position on where AI and automation are allowed, what gets logged, and which vendors meet the bar, then build inside those lines.

Relevant services

Finance questions, answered

Is AI safe to use in financial services?

In narrow, defensible places, with logging and human review. The first job is mapping where it is allowed and where the risk is not worth taking.

Can you work with our compliance team?

Yes. Compliance sets the boundaries the work is built inside, so it is involved from the start rather than asked to approve at the end.

How do you assess marketing vendors?

Against how they handle regulated data, what claims their tools make, and whether the firm can stand behind both.

Advisory only, or hands-on?

Both. Engagements range from AI governance and vendor review through to hands-on implementation.
