Helen Astaniou: Marketing in an age of LLMs, prop firms & savvy traders

In our latest Integral podcast, Andrew Saks is joined by Helen Astaniou, Publisher Relations Director at FinancialMarkets.media, for a conversation recorded in Limassol Marina, Cyprus. 

Set in one of the retail FX industry’s best-known hubs, the discussion focuses on how brokers are adapting their marketing, messaging and client engagement for a more discerning audience.

The conversation also looks at how the market has changed. From the rise of prop firms and prediction markets to the growing importance of digital visibility, brokerage brands now need to compete on more than just acquisition spend.

  • Retention through better UX
    A strong app, clear messaging and a more intuitive journey can help keep clients engaged

 

Why listen

This episode offers a practical look at modern broker marketing from someone with deep experience in financial services and blockchain.
