Gary Lofstrom has worked in many segments of the financial services industry, including lending, bank card, investments, trust, retail banking, insurance, securities, and financial planning. He has developed and implemented innovative financial services marketing solutions that produced significant results for financial service clients.
Financial services marketing projects have ranged from direct marketing of bankcard products to investor relations support to institutional white papers. My past work experience with a regional bank, an investment company and an accounting firm gives me unique perspective on this business sector.

This employee newsletter served as one tool in that effort, providing business development information and conveying human resource information. I developed this newsletter and supported internal communications as a contract, on-site consultant. |
