Building a Foundation for Smarter Client Communications
Radcliffe & Co. is a financial advisory firm committed to providing clear, timely updates and insights for its clients. To improve efficiency and lay the groundwork for future marketing activity, the firm wanted to move its client communications into HubSpot.
Success was defined as being able to deliver their quarterly client newsletter directly through the platform, supported by the right templates, lists, and integrations.

The Challenge

Outgrowing disconnected tools and needing a CRM built for bespoke, project-led sales
Radcliffe & Co. had been managing client communications using legacy tools that lacked integration and visibility.

File sharing and data access also caused delays, while limited platform capabilities made it difficult to streamline workflows or scale future campaigns.
CUSP needed a single platform that could:
The team needed a centralised system that could:
- Consolidate email marketing, client lists, and subscription preferences.
- Handle inbound enquiries more efficiently.
- Provide visibility over performance and reporting
- Create a scalable foundation for future marketing activity
