From the start, Cognito has been built on the assumption that finance is different. That’s why since 2000 we've consistently hired people with varied careers as financial journalists, bankers, FS marketing executives, advertising planners and social media strategists.
Our clients are varied, and our role can include outsourced marketing support, media relations, branding, social strategy or strategic advice and issues management. Whatever their differing needs, most clients would agree that part of what makes Cognito an effective partner for them is our specialization and our recognition that finance is different.
With offices in London, Amsterdam, Düsseldorf, New York, Singapore, Sydney and Hong Kong, we help firms improve their performance and manage their business' reputation. We provide planning, marketing, design, PR and social campaigns, together with proprietary software that delivers measurability and intelligence.
