Mobiquity Provides Comprehensive Digital and Mobile Business Strategy Services to Financial Services and Investment Advisory Leader, Janney Montgomery Scott

BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire - Feb 23, 2012) - Mobiquity, a professional services firm specializing in the design, build, deployment and management of innovative enterprise-class mobile solutions, today announced it provided financial services and investment advisory leader, Janney Montgomery Scott, with a comprehensive digital strategy and tactical playbook to help the firm capitalize on its opportunities in today's digital world.

Through the course of its strategy development, Mobiquity focused on helping Janney navigate the strictly regulated environment of financial services compliance, while balancing client and employee communications demands and technology expectations. Janney needed a partner like Mobiquity that was capable of taking a pragmatic approach to building an integrated digital strategy -- including web, mobile applications and social media and plan for moving forward.

What's New:

• Mobiquity worked with Janney to conduct comprehensive research including in-depth internal interviews and surveys, industry research across web, mobile and social media, and Mobiquity's proprietary Mobile Innovation Workshop.
  • These activities helped determine where Janney fell across the industry as a whole, as well as against their direct competitors, and helped identify the areas of greatest need and opportunities for employees and clients.
• Mobiquity then conducted broad brainstorming and idea sessions to identify the best B2C and B2B mobile application solutions. Mobiquity also identified gaps and provided recommendations across digital analytics, social media, and digital feature functionality.
• The resulting plan will help Janney build a digital platform to meet their goals of improving client experience, driving internal efficiencies, creating brand awareness, and driving new client acquisition.
