Empowered Synergy

We’re better together

The EmpowerFi™ brand was forged between two best-in class marketers in the financial industry: Hilary Reed (CEO) and Kelly Hellickson (President).

As field experts themselves, Kelly and Hilary know what it takes to build a successful brand and together have mastered the art of strategy-infused, data-driven marketing.

The two co-founded EmpowerFi™ to help financial institutions across the country transform their use of data, strategy, and automation to improve marketing performance, increase engagement, and enhance efficiency.
