The objective
Make Cantor Fitzgerald the most quoted financial services institution in Irish media.
From 17.7% to market leader.
The Safety Net
Crisis-tested. Media-trained. An ex-RTE journalist who knows how newsrooms think, and a team that has managed comms through regulatory fines, data breaches, and executive departures.
The Tech Ecosystem
We work with Coinbase, Monzo, Ubotica, Equal1, Partsol, and Manna across crypto, deep tech, defence, and AI. In Ireland and across Europe. We do not pitch these stories from the outside. We are already in the room.
The Network
We run comms for Dublin Tech Summit and HumanX. Our Coinbase and Monzo clients stood side by side on stage. Your US parent opens doors no Irish competitor can match. We are the interconnector.
The business desk and the tech desk have merged. We define what Cantor Fitzgerald sounds like in that conversation and control the news agenda around it.

From AI panic to rebound: why portfolio discipline matters now more than ever
The DeepSeek sell-off taught investors a familiar lesson. Those who held their nerve were rewarded within weeks. The real risk is not volatility but reaction.

CEO, Cantor Fitzgerald Ireland

When DeepSeek rattled markets in January, the instinct for many investors was to sell first and ask questions later. Within three weeks, the S&P 500 had recovered. The lesson was not new, but it remains underlearned: the greatest threat to long-term returns is not volatility itself, but the human reaction to it.
At Cantor Fitzgerald Ireland, we see this pattern repeat with every cycle. The firms and individuals who outperform are not those who predict the next disruption, but those who maintain discipline through it...

Cantor Fitzgerald Ireland manages over €10bn in assets and is the only independent full-service wealth manager in the Irish market.
In a market dominated by bank-owned brokerages, Cantor Fitzgerald Ireland has carved out an unusual position: the only independent full-service wealth manager in the country, and increasingly, the one with the most interesting things to say.
The firm has launched what it calls the Irish Wealth Allocation Index, combining anonymised portfolio data from its €10bn under management with public indicators from the Central Bank and CSO...

CF leads overall, but the two weakest areas (Brand Consistency, Content Maturity) are exactly what a structured comms programme addresses.
Deep Dive
Messaging Framework
All three firms compete on similar themes: trust, experience, personalisation. The differentiation opportunity lies in technology adjacency and independence.
Five Strategic Narratives
Intersection of Innovation and Capital
Technology is a wealth management story. The firms that own this intersection own the conversation.
Authority in Capital Markets
Primary dealer. Not just a wealth manager, but financial infrastructure.
Stewardship of Irish Wealth
Over €10bn in client assets. 30+ years of preservation and discipline.
Global Reach, Irish Focus
Cantor Fitzgerald worldwide network. Local expertise across Dublin, Cork, Limerick.
Insight-Led Leadership
Proprietary data via the Irish Wealth Allocation Index. Authoritative commentary.
Deep Dive
Journalist Targets
Key Business Media
Key Tech Media
Key Crypto Media
The business desk and the tech desk have merged. These are the journalists shaping both conversations. We know them personally.
Deep Dive
Content Strategy
Irish Wealth Allocation Index
Annual flagship combining public institutional data (Central Bank, CSO, ESRI) with anonymised, aggregated insights from CF's own €10bn+ client portfolio. Tracks where Irish households invest and how CF's clients are actually allocating.
What CF's proprietary data adds: Real allocation shifts by asset class, generational differences in portfolio composition, net inflows/outflows as a sentiment indicator, and CF client averages vs national benchmarks.
This is what makes it unreplicable. Goodbody and Davy could repackage public data, but they cannot replicate CF's proprietary portfolio insights. Different from Davy's "Wealth in Ireland" report.
Tech & Markets Commentary
Quarterly brief positioning CF at the intersection of tech and capital markets. AI and investment, Magnificent Seven, sustainable investing, global capital flows.
Weekly Newsletter
500-800 words. 4-6 curated stories with expert commentary. Email, LinkedIn, website. 52 editions per year.
Deep Dive
Data-Driven Thought Leadership
What the Index could measure
Simple and scalable. The Index could report on a few core indicators, such as:
Average allocation to equities, bonds, alternatives etc.
Domestic vs international exposure.
US allocation levels.
Property exposure within portfolios.
Income-focused vs growth-oriented.
These are data points Cantor Fitzgerald may already hold, making the Index operationally realistic and relatively straightforward to gather and execute.
Strategic Benefit
The Irish Wealth Allocation Index would:
Position Cantor Fitzgerald Ireland as the authority on Irish private capital.
Reinforce credibility through data rather than opinion.
Provide a repeatable, ownable annual media moment.
Support client conversations with tangible insights.
Differentiate Cantor Fitzgerald in a competitive Irish wealth management market.
Deep Dive
Index Activation Plan
This approach ensures the Index delivers value beyond a single announcement.
1. Single annual launch moment
Press release with 5-6 clear findings.
One senior spokesperson available for commentary.
Targeted outreach to national business media and radio.
2. Opinion piece placement
An authored article in a national newspaper drawing out broader implications for Ireland's economy and private wealth.
3. Ongoing reuse of data
Key data points can be referenced throughout the year during:
Budget commentary.
Market volatility.
Quarterly outlook pieces.

Deep Dive
The Case for Tech & Markets
Cantor Fitzgerald Ireland is already doing the right basics — using market notes and CIO commentary to link tech headlines to allocation and risk — but you can and should sharpen that offering into a clearly branded, repeatable tech & markets quarterly report so the firm owns the narrative, not just reacts to it.
What CF is already doing
The Weekly Compass already references Nvidia, AI sentiment, and tech-driven market moves. This shows CF uses tech headlines to explain market flows — but it does not translate into media coverage.
CF publishes notes, newsletters, and short outlooks — a useful operational base to broaden into a thematic product.
What competitors are doing
Goodbody's 2026 Tech Outlook is a branded, media-friendly report that journalists cite. That format wins visibility. Peers are packaging insight — Goodbody and Davy use branded tech outlooks to earn repeat coverage.
The Business Post and The Irish Times show strong media appetite for wealth-manager commentary on AI. That editorial demand is an opening CF can exploit.
The case to do more
Cantor Fitzgerald risks being only reactive unless it creates its own repeatable platform.
Wealth clients want actionable guidance on allocation, concentration risk, and rebalancing when tech sentiment swings. CF can turn headlines into practical portfolio advice.
Quick Wins
Turn the most recent Weekly Compass / Nvidia take into a tailored pitch to the right tech and business media.
Issue readily packaged quotes to the right journalists and let them know there is commentary available to add weight and value to their coverage.
Become indispensable and familiar to media through your expertise.
Deep Dive
Commentary Angles
The opportunity for Cantor Fitzgerald is not to comment on the companies themselves. It is to interpret what their developments mean for capital markets and wealth portfolios, Irish tech companies, and the Irish economy.
Strong, timely angles linked to the current big tech × markets stories:
Market Sentiment & AI Earnings
Why Nvidia's earnings are more than a tech story — they're a capital markets indicator for AI-driven growth expectations
Rebalancing After AI Volatility
AI fear is back in markets — what that means for Irish portfolios
AI Adoption vs Real World Value

Coinbase — CBI Regulatory Fine
The Situation
The Central Bank of Ireland issued a regulatory fine against Coinbase's Irish entity. The story had the potential to become a major reputational issue, with media interest from both Irish and international outlets. In a regulated industry, how the story lands matters as much as the fine itself.
Our Response
Rapid response: holding statement prepared and distributed within hours of the CBI announcement
Proactive journalist engagement: briefed key reporters directly to shape the narrative before it ran
Message discipline: ensured all coverage included Coinbase's remediation steps and forward-looking commitment
Contained the story: coverage remained factual and measured, with no secondary negative cycle
Relevant to CF: Cantor Fitzgerald operates in the same regulatory environment. CBI fines, compliance incidents, and executive changes require the same rapid, disciplined response. We have done this before.
Onboarding
Interviews with Key Leadership
Before we place a single story, we learn Cantor Fitzgerald from the inside out. Structured conversations across your team give us a comprehensive understanding of messaging from the top down, and reveal how we can leverage every voice in media opportunities to increase your share of voice.
The Process
C-suite first: Vision, positioning, sensitivities. What does CF want to be known for?
Department heads: Fund managers, analysts, compliance. Every conversation reveals expertise the market has not heard.
Emerging voices: Not every spokesperson is the CEO. We surface talent and confidence across the organisation.
What We Learn
Messaging consistency from boardroom to trading floor
Hidden expertise and untold stories
Risk areas that need careful positioning
AI-Powered Spokesperson Mapping
We use AI to map every interview: expertise areas, communication strengths, topic confidence, media readiness. The output is a spokesperson matrix matching the right person to the right opportunity.
Your competitors rely on one or two spokespeople. We give you six, eight, ten voices in the market. That is how you move from 17% share of voice to dominant.
CF's COO and Head of Marketing are experienced leaders currently underutilised in public-facing media. Our process identifies and activates this talent.
Reputation & Crisis
Media Training
Not a one-off session. Media training is how we turn your team into confident, quotable spokespeople who actively increase your share of voice. Led by Mary Calpin, 20 years at RTE.
What We Cover
Message discipline: Land your key points in 30 seconds on radio, print, or podcast
Interview technique: Bridging, flagging, blocking. Stay on message under pressure
Broadcast confidence: On-camera delivery for RTE, Newstalk, Bloomberg
Crisis simulation: Tough mock interviews before it matters for real
How We Deliver
Bespoke to each spokesperson, their role, and the media they face
Recorded mock interviews with real journalist playbook questions
Quarterly refreshers tied to upcoming media moments
More Than Preparation
Media training doubles as information gathering. Mock interviews with team members beyond the C-suite reveal perspectives, surface hidden expertise, and identify voices the market has not heard yet.
Outcomes
✓Confident spokespeople across multiple beats
✓Consistent messaging from CEO to analyst level
✓Crisis-ready under pressure
✓Hidden talent activated for media
✓More voices = more share of voice
Mary: "Media training also functions as an information-gathering exercise, revealing different perspectives on the organisation beyond top-tier management."

Coverage Quality Problem
Most articles are Lutnick/Epstein mentions, general market roundups, or German-language MSN syndication. Genuinely proactive coverage (Frankfurt IPO, Kerry Group stock pick) is rare. The few journalists covering CF: John Bohane, Ian Keogh, Charlie Weston, Colm Keena, Joanne Hunt.
