How Do Banks Repurpose Research into Demand Gen Content?
Turn quarterly outlooks and analyst notes into compliant, multi-channel programs that create meetings, applications, and funded accounts—without diluting rigor.
Banks convert research into demand by atomizing insights—themes, charts, and forecasts—into offers and formats (emails, social threads, calculators, webinars, branch kits) mapped to segments (consumer, SMB, middle market, wealth). Teams enforce compliance-first reviews, attach source citations & disclosures, and track outcomes beyond clicks to appointments, applications, approvals, funding, and balance growth.

The Research-to-Demand Playbook
A loop to turn analyst work into measurable pipeline and balance growth.
Select → Synthesize → Segment → Package → Distribute → Attribute → Govern
- Select research themes with market relevance (rates, inflation, sector outlook); confirm rights and expiration.
- Synthesize “so what?” points, charts, and risk considerations; add disclosures and citations.
- Segment messages to consumers, SMB, commercial, and wealth; map to needs (cash, credit, payments, investments).
- Package web articles, email series, social snippets, calculators, webinars, and branch/advisor kits—each with pre-approved copy.
- Distribute across owned, paid, and human channels (site, marketing automation, social, call center, branch/advisor).
- Attribute content touches to appointments → applications → approvals → funded/activated accounts.
- Govern refresh cycles, disclosure versioning, and holdout tests; reallocate budget to top-performing themes.
