Marketing Leadership for Employee Benefits & Financial Services Firms
I help benefits brokerages, RIAs, and financial services firms turn marketing from a cost center into a growth engine.

Allison Lantieri
Founder, North Woods Consulting
I spent more than a decade inside OneDigital, one of the fastest-growing employee benefits and financial services firms in the US — leading marketing through hyper-growth from $60M to $1B in revenue and hundreds of acquisitions.
Now I help firms like yours build the marketing engine that drives organic growth, supports M&A integration, and gets your producers and advisors the support they need to win.
Services
I work exclusively with employee benefits and financial services firms. Whether you're a benefits brokerage scaling through acquisition, an RIA building organic growth, or a wealth management firm trying to get more from your marketing team — I've been in your shoes and I know what works.
Marketing Assessment
& Roadmap
A rapid assessment of your marketing Operations, Strategy, and Talent that delivers a prioritized 30/60/90-day roadmap. Built specifically for benefits and financial services firms.
Fractional CMO
Support
Embedded marketing leadership for firms that need a growth-minded CMO without the full-time hire. I align your marketing team with producers and advisors, build the commercial playbook, and mentor your marketers to perform at a higher level.
M&A Marketing
Advisory
Buy-side and sell-side marketing strategy for firms in acquisition mode. I've led marketing through hundreds of acquisitions — I know how to assess incoming talent, integrate brands, and accelerate time-to-value.
Most benefits and financial services firms can't tie marketing to growth. Can yours?

Why Consider My Services?
Your marketing team is busy but you can't tie their work to new clients or AUM growth. I fix that.
Your CMO and your CGO don't speak the same language. I bridge that gap — because I understand both seats.
You've made acquisitions but marketing is still fragmented across offices. I've supported hundreds of integrations and khow to unify without losing momentum.
​
You need someone who knows benefits and financial services — not a generalist learning your industry on your dime.
