Social Media Archiver Arkovi Broadens Reach, Attracts New Clients and Investment Capital

    DOVER, OH, August 03, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- "We continue to strengthen our presence in financial services and are meeting a broad spectrum of companies that want to employ, in a prudent way, the powerful marketing bandwidth that social media offers," Blane Warrene, Chief Executive Officer, said recently.

Along with principals Carl Cline and Tyson Lowery, Mr. Warrene founded the firm in 2009. At that time, Arkovi pioneered the use of using an Application Program Interface (API) for the purposes of social media archiving in financial services. Closely aligned with the emerging compliance concerns around social media through 2010, Arkovi refined its comprehensive database solution for financial services partners and clients.

Year-to-date, new company achievements include the following:

- Expanded social media enhancements: Arkovi expanded its system protocols from Facebook personal and business accounts, Twitter and LinkedIn to now also interface seamlessly with Facebook Groups, Facebook Mail as well as blog and website archiving

- Increased staff capabilities: Recent staff hires have added depth to the firm's customer service, technology development, marketing and sales areas

- Fresh capital investment: The East Central Ohio Tech Angel Fund raised a six-figure investment amount for Arkovi to deploy to its operations

- New institutional-level client acquisitions: Fidelity Bank; TradePMR, a brokerage and custody firm; and ValMark Securities, an independent broker dealer, all joined Arkovi's expanding client roster

"For the remainder of 2011, we will see more Arkovi improvements," Mr. Warrene continued. "Our team is busy at work on expansion of supervision and analytics features and adding additional API integrations." The firm is also surveying advisors to ascertain the best practices for infographics, webinars and other educational materials in the social media learning experience.

"We encourage those firms who are thinking about social media marketing to watch our web site, and visit us at one of the upcoming live events we have scheduled around the nation," Mr. Warrene concluded. Arkovi will be exhibiting at the FPA Experience 2011 (San Diego), National Society of Compliance Professionals (Baltimore), the Business & Wealth Management Forum (Chicago) and the Market Counsel Member Summit (Florida).
