Progress Group Inc
CMO, brand repositioning, and AI infrastructure strategy for a nine-wing financial advisory firm.
OVERVIEW
Progress Group Inc. is a multi-vertical financial advisory firm operating across nine service wings: bookkeeping, tax, wealth management, mortgage, estate planning, business advisory, insurance, international tax, and financial planning. Despite delivering board-level work for mid-market and UHNW clients globally, they were perceived as a generic tax shop. SA Media served as CMO and rebuilt their brand, digital presence, and marketing infrastructure from the ground up.
THE BRIEF
Progress Group's nine-wing platform existed internally but was not being communicated effectively to the market. Their website had significant UX issues: visual noise, buried services, and weak calls-to-action. Social channels were inactive or misaligned. Marketing was entirely dependent on the founder's personal time and referrals. SA Media's mandate: reposition Progress Group as the strategic operating partner for sophisticated clients and build a marketing infrastructure that generates leads without the founder's direct involvement.
OUR APPROACH
- 01
Full digital audit and brand repositioning. We conducted a comprehensive audit of the brand, website UX/UI, marketing infrastructure, and all channels. The repositioning strategy centered on one clear statement: Progress Group is the board of directors for the mid-market client. A brand addendum kit was developed covering updated color usage, typography hierarchy, and eagle mark refinements.
- 02
Website redesign across all nine service wings. We designed and developed a full website overhaul on WordPress with dedicated landing pages for each service wing, a global reach and world map page, a resources and education hub, and a Calendly-integrated booking flow. Analytics and event tracking were set up via GA4 with pixel installation and custom event tracking across all pages.
- 03
Social media rebuild and content production. We rebuilt Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn from scratch with a consistent brand voice. Content production covered three content waves: short-form videos with the founder (solo and with partners), static and carousel posts, and creatives tested against high-performing angles including CRA tax strategy, global structuring, and bankruptcy planning.
- 04
AI infrastructure strategy and roadmap. SA Media authored a comprehensive AI strategy targeting 60 to 80% automation of repeatable internal tasks. The recommended tech stack included Microsoft Copilot Studio, Karbon, QuickBooks, Power Automate, and Azure AI Document Intelligence. A six-month implementation roadmap was delivered with a budget scope of $40K to $90K.
