Driving Executive Impact: CFA Institute Earns Honourable Mention in 2025 Awards

This recognition reflects the strength of the collaborative partnership between client and agency. Together, we have built a strategic executive communications programme rooted in creativity, relevance, and measurable impact. It highlights the growing importance of cultivating a high-profile, authentic personal brand—especially for leaders navigating today’s digital-first financial landscape.

Campaign Highlights

• Enhancing the online presence of CFA Institute President & CEO, Margaret Franklin, on LinkedIn
• Producing dynamic written, visual, and video content aligned with CFA Institute’s brand pillars
• Leveraging video to reinforce Franklin’s approachability and credibility, covering major announcements and global events
• Developing tailored content for CFA members, charterholders, investment professionals, and future candidates worldwide

Commenting on the recognition, Stephanie Isaacs, Client Services Director at Living, said:

“CFA Institute has been a pioneer in executive communications, and it’s been a pleasure to work with such a visionary team. Seeing Marg recognised as one of LinkedIn’s Top Voices in both 2020 and 2023—and growing her following by more than 1,200%—demonstrates the long-term value CFA Institute places on authentic leadership through digital engagement.”
