Kirk Lowe

CEO

As the CEO of ProudMouth, I want to shift the way experts approach their marketing:

From being disappointed by groundless “10X” and “We’ll fill your pipeline” promises from marketing “experts” to realizing the value of building long-term momentum that ignites relationships and creates fans.

I’m also a contributor to Nasdaq and the featured expert on the Top Advisor Marketing Podcast and the Be Your Own Loud podcast.

I speak and write about these areas:

- How to get free from the torment of sales (and focus more on passion & profitability)

- Why there has never been a better time for experts to start a podcast

- How to market like an expert so you can compete in the expertise economy

If you’re interested in having me on your podcast, please email: kirk@ProudMouth.com

Matt Halloran

Partner | Chief Revenue Officer

I'm the CRO and co-founder of ProudMouth, a podcasting company that I started with Kirk Lowe (originally known as Top Advisor Marketing).

We grew ProudMouth to 2M in recurring revenue in less than 5 years, using podcasting as the only marketing tool!

So far, ProudMouth has produced 5K+ episodes and 75K social media posts in one of the most highly regulated industries –- financial services!

I've been on 1000+ podcasts, either as a host or a guest 🎙️(I host two podcasts, "Be Your Own Loud" and the "Top Advisor Marketing Podcast"!) If I'm not podcasting, I'm talking about the power of podcasting. Yep, it is all about podcasting for me!

Christine Waterman

Influence Liberator

Christine is truly driven with her customer-centric focus and willingness to jump in and help you achieve your goals. With over 20 years in various marketing and communications roles, her focus has always been to help you get to the finish line!

Although Christine is really passionate about all things creative, she learned rather quickly that knitting a cape wasn’t really her super power. One fateful

day she was handed a guitar and fell in love with making noise. When not at work, you will find her learning knew songs and serenading her two cats.

Christine enjoys going for walks along the local nature trails and local beaches.

Jessica Brown

Marketing Editor

Jessica has always had a passion for the written word. In her early years, while the other kids were playing foursquare at recess, you could find Jessica either reading or writing. After school, Jessica would lean against the brick wall rereading books – often narrated by another of her passions, dogs.

Her love for stories evolved through her schooling and career in journalism. Jessica is in good company at ProudMouth– a marketing team with storytelling in its DNA.

Jessica helps financial advisors engage with their online audience in meaningful and genuine ways. She believes that when financial advisors tell stories about their brands, their audience can connect with them on a human level. Only then can financial advisors use social media to its utmost potential: to build and strengthen relationships.

Jessica has a Masters of Journalism and Communications degree. She is a fan of dogs, libraries, and chocolate cake.
