The initial FCA Consumer Duty legislation took effect on 31st July 2023. It requires all financial organisations to ensure that their customers can choose products and services that meet their needs. and receive communications that they can understand.
Many firms are having to take a long, hard look at their current customer communications. The good news is that I can edit or rewrite what you have to ensure you comply with the regulations. At the same time, a more consumer-centric approach like this can help you keep current customers and attract new ones.
I’ve helped a well-known UK mutual and a global asset manager with their Consumer Duty copywriting. Why not ask what I can do for your customer communications?

Videos have a big role to play in financial marketing. As well as brand adverts like the one below, they are excellent for explaining complicated products or strategies.
This video for Janus Henderson received over one million views in less than three months, with a click-through rate on YouTube over 280% above target. The accompanying print ads and articles which I wrote delivered over three million hits. You can read a case study about it here.

“Pete helped us tidy up all our marketing materials and website. The previous material had been badly translated by my French colleagues. I worked with Pete and he quickly turn around tight copy that could use to more successfully market our business in the UK.”

“In a shocking and genuinely impressive turn of events, the clients have no feedback on either the copy changes to the web-chat or the guidelines! I just called them to double check and they were really pleased with the work! This is definitely a first in [Client Name] history. Brilliant news, thanks so much for all your help.”

Not so long ago, the Economist Intelligence Unit surveyed financial institutions, asking how many different regulators oversaw their organisation. The most popular figure among respondents was “10 or more”. That means whoever writes copy or content needs to be very careful what they say. I have extensive experience in writing compliant copy, and will work with your compliance team to ensure that anything I write meets all requirements. Better still, I have even written about compliance, for businesses such as MyComplianceOffice, RiskScreen and Plenitude, so have a working knowledge of subjects such as 871(m) and MiFID II.
