Testimonials
"I’ve worked closely with Wendy Montes de Oca on three major projects – to build the assets of our Weiss Money
Management business in the 1990s, to expand our Weiss Research investment newsletter subscriber base in the
2000s, and now to run the Financial Publishers Association (FiPA), which I founded over ten years ago. So, I can
tell you from many years of personal experience that she’s a seasoned marketing consultant specialized in direct
response. She has an excellent track record with customer acquisition, both via leads or immediate sales. She’s
goal driven, motivated, organized and can interface well with all levels of a company. She can help you grow
assets under management or improve customer lifetime value. She can leverage multiple channels, including
Web, email, direct mail, print, and social media. Most important, she’s an idea generator, both tactically and
strategically."

“I’ve worked with Wendy creating direct response sales materials and content marketing strategies for two different clients. Working with a smart direct response marketer like Wendy who’s passionate about making money for her clients makes all the difference in a project’s success. Wendy brings together a keen sense of strategy with an attention to detail and a solid supply of expertise. Drawing on data and experience, Wendy always offers recommendations that reliably boost response. For example, she made a graphics suggestion for an email sales letter I wrote creating an innovative and unique masthead that mirrored that of a medical journal which nearly doubled response. I will continue to recommend Wendy to my clients as an invaluable partner in creating successful direct response campaigns.”
