Fanatical About Financial Stories and Financial Storytellers

The Vested group of companies supports financial storytellers around the world – from reporters to PR agencies to in-house communications teams – as they tell the complex and fascinating story of finance.

Vested

Vested isn’t just a social media shop or a media relations service for financial services. While we do both (and plenty more), Vested’s approach to communications and marketing spans all platforms and we believe the best results are achieved when paid, earned, shared and owned channels are leveraged together. The combination of these platforms allows us to tailor the way we tell a client’s story to the particular medium, while thoughtfully amplifying that message to specific audiences.

Qwoted

Qwoted is a free expert platform designed to help business and finance journalists write better stories faster. Financial reporting is getting tougher with tighter deadlines and faster news cycles. Qwoted helps journalists develop and produce higher quality content more quickly by providing easy access to vetted sources in one place. Through the platform, PR professionals can list clients as sources and respond directly to reporters’ requests in real-time. Originally developed inside of Vested, Qwoted is now a separate entity with users from some of the most established news organizations including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Bloomberg, Thomson Reuters, Fortune and others.
