2023 has been something of a rocky road for global economies and the financial markets. As an agency supporting brokers, fintechs, banks and other financial players, we’ve been in a unique position to see how they’ve fared. For us at Contentworks Agency, 2023 was busy with some great events, campaigns, new projects and just working in the heart of the financial markets. Here are our highlights of 2023 and a FREE gift to celebrate the end of another great year!
The Year of Events
This year we saw even more events than in the previous year as people flooded back to IRL meetups, expos and summits. We had fun as media partners for key industry events and got the opportunity to network and share our knowledge as speakers.
- 2023 kicked off with iFX EXPO in Dubai, and we are now gearing up for the next one on January 16-18 at the Dubai World Trade Centre. Later in the year in May, we were also happy to partner with iFX ASIA in Bangkok featuring top C-Suite execs from some of the most prominent financial services companies in the region.
- In April we got along to the Parklane Resort for the Vision Forex Forum, another great event to meet our peers and listen to top industry speakers.
- The London Banking Transformation Summit in June saw the coming together of Europe’s premier banking leaders and innovators.
- September saw Copenhagen host this year’s edition of the Nordic Fintech Festival. This year saw a record attendance of leading fintech representatives in a two-day conference.
- In October we were on home ground with iFX EXPO International here in Cyprus. Our director Niki spoke on the well-attended fintech marketing panel and we got the chance to catch up with key players in the industry.
- We rounded the year off with the FMLS:23 in November with Niki moderating the main marketing panel aimed at brokers, fintechs and key players in the financial services .
We Turned 6!
This year we celebrated our 6th birthday! While the agency is only six years old, Charlotte and Niki have been in this game quite a bit longer. As a finance-focused agency, we are often asked by the media for our thoughts and insights into the industry and where it is going. This year, our director Charlotte was once again interviewed for Finance Magnates Intelligence reports on AI, the LATAM region and IBs in the forex space. We also appeared across several sites including Benzinga on how we saw ChatGPT influencing brokers, and later in Market Watch on upcoming fintech trends for 2024.
Gift Time!
One of the most valuable pieces of content we give away is our annual Financial Calendar. This is a content and social media manager’s dream as we have researched all the key dates financial marketers need to know in 2024 including market moving events like Initial Jobless Claims, Fed Interest Rate Decision & Press Conference and FOMC Minutes. The calendar also includes public holidays around the world and even finance hashtags, event hashtags and fun social media days for planning great content.
We Wish You A Very Merry Christmas!
And that’s a wrap! Our team will be available throughout the Christmas and New Year period with the exception of December 25,26 and 1 January when we will be eating our body weight in mince pies and crisps. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas!
