Our Story
At Mint Studios, we empower financial services through innovative content marketing strategies and expertise.
Our story
We are a team of content marketing experts who fundamentally believe content marketing can grow a financial services company.
And that it can be proven.
I, Araminta, Mint Studios’ founder, saw first hand how marketers were being held accountable for leads, deals and customers, and yet were investing in content that only brought in traffic.
This would lead to a situation where:
- Content marketers and content marketing itself wasn’t taken seriously by leadership, and seen as a “nice to have” rather than a key pillar for acquiring customers.
- Content marketers struggled to get the budget they needed to hire writers, fix the website, or even get more time commitment from internal Subject Matter Experts.
- Content marketing as a marketing activity would never reach its full potential or bring a positive return on investment.
Content marketing is one of the most powerful ways for marketers to raise awareness, acquire customers and increase retention.
But because it’s hard to track and prove, content marketing often gets little attention.
At Mint Studios, we help you generate leads, MQLs and SQLs with content marketing in a way that allows you to prove the contribution of content marketing.
With a combination of Bottom of the Funnel content, Google Ads, expert-based content and advanced conversion tracking via Hubspot/Salesforce, you can track the results of your content marketing allowing you to:
- Prove its contribution to the business.
- Make a business case for additional budget or time commitment from experts.
- Build trust with leadership and get more budget / time to experiment.
Our founding story
In 2022, I launched Mint Studios to help financial marketers get results from content marketing in a way that would allow them to track and prove content’s contribution to the business.
Not only does this help the business with acquiring more customers, but it also helps the marketer make a business case for a larger budget or more time commitment from experts.
What keeps the team and I going is the combination of helping financial marketers get real results from a marketing activity that’s typically seen as a “nice to have” and writing about important and interesting topics in financial services.
Today, Mint Studios works with all sorts of financial services companies from late-stage fintech startups like Modulr, Persona and Yapily, to established companies like Confused.com, to compliance consultancies like fscom.
Companies working in technical industries with high-value customers are our specialty, since we know how to (and love to) write about complex topics while still bringing the results marketers need.
We’re a remote team of 8 and we’re passionate about writing clearly, concisely about important and complicated topics – while helping companies actually grow.
We’re also big financial services/fintech nerds. I run the Market Like a Fintech podcast, a 2,200+ person fintech marketing Slack group, run multiple fintech marketing events every year in London and New York, and publish a financial services content marketing newsletter every 2 weeks.
