The firm

What is Invstly?

Invstly is the fractional CMO and brand operating system for financial services. We give RIAs, private equity firms, and their portfolio companies senior marketing leadership, a connected marketing ecosystem, and AI built around their brand.

Founder

The person behind the firm.

Kevin founded Invstly after nearly two decades leading brand and marketing in financial services and beyond. He served as Chief Marketing Officer at Creative Planning, supporting more than $40 billion in assets under management, and as Head of Digital at Fallon.

I started Invstly because I kept seeing the same thing. Excellent firms, held back by marketing that did not match their quality. I built the partner I wished those teams had.

Kevin Johnston

Founder & CEO

What we believe

Four principles.

Strategy before scale

Growth without clarity just multiplies the noise. We get the strategy right, then we scale it.

A branded ecosystem

Marketing should work as one connected system, not a collection of scattered parts.

Leadership, not vendor support

We own outcomes from inside your team, rather than waiting for the next assignment.

AI as an operating advantage

AI that reduces friction and protects consistency. Always compliant, always human-led.

Proof

Trusted across financial services.
