FTA Global wins Apex Group digital remit

Performance agency secures one-year SEO and paid marketing brief to strengthen global financial services brand visibility in an AI-led search landscape.

FTA Global has been appointed by Apex Group to handle its digital marketing mandate, covering SEO, paid marketing and website maintenance. The one-year engagement is designed to strengthen Apex Group’s digital visibility, improve performance within an AI-driven discovery ecosystem and drive sustained brand growth across markets.

Apex Group operates globally in financial solutions, including management company services, fund administration and regulatory support. As the business continues to expand its digital footprint, it sought a strategic partner capable of integrating technical expertise with performance-led execution. Following an exclusive pitch process, FTA Global was selected on the basis of its data-driven approach and ability to deliver scalable digital outcomes.

Under the mandate, FTA Global will deploy advanced SEO frameworks, performance marketing strategies and ongoing website optimisation to enhance both organic and paid visibility. The remit centres on strengthening search presence, refining user experience and ensuring the brand remains discoverable and competitive as AI-led search and digital discovery reshape how financial services buyers access information.

The agency’s scope includes building a structured SEO architecture aligned to evolving search algorithms, optimising paid media investments for measurable returns, and maintaining digital assets to support conversion efficiency. The work will be delivered through an integrated model designed to align media performance, technical optimisation and content discoverability.

Senthil Kumar Hariram, founder and managing director at FTA Global, said, "Winning this mandate from Apex Group is a strong validation of our AI-first, performance-led marketing philosophy. In a sector as intricate as global asset management, visibility alone is not enough. You need precision, trust, and measurable outcomes. With our TaaS model, we are embedding a dedicated, tech-forward team within Apex Group’s ecosystem to ensure their digital footprint is not just broader, but smarter and more conversion-efficient. We are ready to deliver impact from day one."

Hariram’s reference to the agency’s TaaS model signals a structure in which a dedicated team operates closely within the client’s ecosystem, aiming to connect strategy, execution and reporting. The focus is on measurable performance metrics, aligning search rankings, paid acquisition and site performance to broader commercial goals.

James Margetson, head of digital marketing at Apex Group, said, "We were looking for a partner who could align with our vision of strengthening digital performance in a rapidly evolving technology landscape. FTA Global’s performance-driven mindset, combined with its deep expertise across SEO and paid marketing, made them the right choice to support our growth objectives and enhance our global digital presence."

FTA Global will collaborate with Apex Group’s global teams to roll out integrated digital strategies across markets. The partnership is structured to improve search performance, optimise digital assets and deliver sustained visibility within competitive financial services categories.

For Apex Group, the appointment underscores a shift towards performance accountability in brand-building, particularly within complex B2B financial services environments. For FTA Global, the win adds a global financial services client to its portfolio and reinforces its positioning around AI-first, performance-led marketing in an increasingly data-centric discovery landscape.
