Intention.ly is celebrating its fifth anniversary as the firm continues expanding its role as a growth and marketing partner for financial services, fintech, wealth management, and banking organizations.
What began as a small consultancy focused on bridging strategy and execution has evolved into a 35-person growth firm supporting more than 100 financial brands across marketing, demand generation, AI integration, and go-to-market strategy.
A Growth-Focused Approach for Financial Services
Intention.ly was founded on the idea that sustainable business growth requires closer alignment between:
- Strategic planning
- Marketing execution

Over the past five years, the firm has expanded its services across:
- Wealth management
- Fintech
- Banking
- Asset management
- Financial SaaS platforms
