ARDMORE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Gregory FCA, the nation’s 47th largest public relations firm, has named Joseph Anthony a partner in the firm and promoted him to the newly created position of President, Financial Services.
Before graduating from Villanova University in 2002, Anthony began his career in public relations as an intern at Gregory FCA. Since then, he has been a driving force in developing and growing the firm’s robust financial services practice, which would rank as the country’s 12th largest financial services public relations firm if it were a standalone firm.
“Gregory FCA has always been and will continue to be a full-service agency with specialized expertise in technology, consumer products, education, business services, life sciences, real estate, retailing and financial services,” explains Gregory FCA’s Founder and CEO Greg Matusky. “Joe Anthony has done an outstanding job of carving out our firm’s niche in financial services, and he has propelled its growth so we can serve a national portfolio of accounts that includes asset management firms, banks, independent broker-dealers, ETFs, mutual funds and RIA firms.
“Joe’s story is a rare one, in that he joined us directly out of college and has helped frame a vision for the company that enabled us to emerge as a national, even international, power player in financial public relations,” adds Matusky.
Anthony joins Matusky and COO Doug Rose as a fellow principal and partner in the firm.
“Joe has been a catalyst for growth at Gregory FCA and an impact player since he joined us 14 years ago,” says Rose. “A natural leader with tremendous client and media relations skills, Joe is a rising star in the world of financial services marketing. His promotion to partner solidifies our vision for the next quarter century by extending the reach and services of our financial services division here at Gregory FCA.”
Anthony is a frequent speaker about financial services public relations and a regular blogger who is frequently cited in the media. He contributes to Gregory FCA’s financial services blog, http://www.financialservicesmarketing.com/, and has also authored pieces in RIABiz, InvestmentNews and Advisor Perspectives, among other outlets. He regularly tweets industry thought leadership, client wins and other musings on Twitter via @joeanthony.
