Issue a Press Release

Publishing a press release can help your business gain valuable PR and boost your company’s credibility. We're happy to supply a comment to include in in your press release.

  • CFPTM achievements could include announcements of good professional exam results, large client wins, internal promotions and any charitable activities where a staff member or the firm has gone the extra mile or raised a sum of money for a good cause
  • When contacting your local or regional media don’t forget to include a good quality photo to enhance your story and help it to stand out
  • Create a short and catchy headline to attract the media’s attention
  • When contacting a media outlet, make sure you are contacting the right journalist for your story, so it doesn’t get lost!
  • Read the Guardian’s tips for writing a good press release

Display your CFPTM Marks

As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERTM professional, we encourage you to display your CISI membership designatory letters and CFPTM marks/logo on your email footer, website, corporate stationary, social media profiles, blog and business cards.
