What is a fintech marketing strategy?

A fintech marketing strategy is the plan for how a financial technology company acquires and retains customers. For B2B fintech specifically, the strategy needs to account for long sales cycles (3–12 months), buying committees that include finance, IT, compliance, and security stakeholders, and higher-than-average acquisition costs. Fintech CAC averages around $1,450 and can exceed $14,000 for enterprise deals. The most effective fintech marketing strategies combine demand capture (Google Ads targeting buyers actively searching for a solution) with demand creation (LinkedIn Ads and founder-led content reaching the buying committee before they start searching). Neither channel works well alone. Search captures the 3–5% of buyers in-market right now, while LinkedIn builds awareness with the other 95%.
Fintech PPC programs require this dual-channel approach, scaled to deal size and sales cycle length.
