If you're an advisor or wealth management firm considering a public relations engagement, or already investing in one, do you actually know what you're buying? Terms like embargo, byline article, and earned media get thrown around constantly, but most advisors have never had someone break them down in plain language with real strategic context. And that gap between knowing PR matters and understanding what's behind it is where expectations get misaligned, and investments get wasted.

In this bonus episode of The Wealth Marketing Podcast, Rosemary Denney sits down with PR specialist Mary Victoria to cut through the jargon and walk through the core PR terms every wealth advisor should know. They go beyond definitions, explaining when each tactic makes sense, what the pitfalls are and how the pieces fit together to build the kind of third-party credibility that ultra-high-net-worth clients and prospects expect from their advisors.

What we cover:

• Press releases: when to distribute on the wire vs. a targeted email send, and when you need both
• Byline articles: what they are, why they're harder to place than most advisors expect and what it takes to land one
• Why generic pitches fail and why evergreen planning content is a tougher sell than timely market commentary
• Thought leadership: what it actually means and why it's the foundation of becoming the advisor clients turn to in volatile markets
• Embargoes: what they are, when they're used (especially around M&A) and what's at stake if one gets broken
• Exclusives: the strategic trade-offs of giving your story to one outlet
• Media training: why it matters, what untrained executives get wrong and why being quotable is a skill
• How to amplify a single media placement across your website, social media, email and centers of influence
