Major Canadian Brokerage Firm CIBC Wood Gundy Enables Social Media for Investment Advisors

BELMONT, CA--(Marketwire - Jan 29, 2013) - Actiance, helping organizations benefit from communications, collaboration and social networking, today announced that CIBC Wood Gundy, the brokerage arm of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC), has implemented Socialite to begin allowing its advisors to leverage social networks effectively and compliantly for marketing and sales efforts.

According to an Environics Research Group March 2012 survey of Canadian financial advisors, roughly one in four are using social media in some capacity in their practices and one-quarter of those advisors are using LinkedIn to communicate. Understanding the importance of these new communication channels, CIBC Wood Gundy selected Socialite to allow its advisors to use LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook to both build and maintain business through social channels in a manner that ensures compliance with industry regulations.

The Socialite platform allows any organization to maximize the value of social media by empowering employees to share pre-approved content, interact with clients and prospects, and analyze the impact of published content.

"From brand awareness to maintaining and building a book of business, the socially savvy financial advisor is truly starting to make social media work for them," says Sarah Carter, general manager of Social Business at Actiance. "And while our technology platform provides for the automation of compliance and engagement capabilities, the experts in our social engagement team help organizations truly unleash social business. We're excited to see CIBC Wood Gundy leap forward with initiatives that cement their position as thought leaders and equip their advisors with the platform and support to communicate in the social world."

Flickr Commercial – Video


Flickr Commercial
This was for an English project on how our community of practice is present through social networking sites. Our group had received Flickr as ours, and because no one in the class knew what that was we decided to imitate the Mac commercial, but with Instagram vs. Flickr. Let me also note that this was my first time doing green screen so please excuse the pixelation on the actors, and spots on the background. Enjoy!

So, I was going to wait until the 1st to post this video, but I couldn #39;t wait! It #39;s quite rare that a finished video will sit in my documents folder for very long, untouched! I truly hope you enjoyed my cover of "Titanium" and that you will hit the like button and subscribe! It also really helps if you share the video on social networking sites that you #39;re affiliated with! I know it seems like I #39;ve just been inspired by Pitch Perfect judging by the fact that the song in this video and in the last were in the movie, but I can honestly say that I planned to cover this before I saw the movie! LOVE YOU GUYS!! Check out my twitter and feel free to ask me questions there or in the comment section below!! twitter.com
