Social Media Built for Regulated Financial Institutions

FINRA, SEC, FDIC, and FCA rules govern every post your firm and its employees publish. MarketBeam is the only social media platform where compliance isn’t a step you add — it’s the architecture the entire system is built on.

MarketBeam AI — S24 Pre-Check Engine

Every Post Reviewed by AI Before It Reaches Your Compliance Team

The single biggest friction in financial services social media is the back-and-forth between content creators and compliance reviewers. MarketBeam’s S24 AI engine runs a full compliance pre-check on every post before it enters the review queue — so reviewers see clean submissions, not rough drafts.

Suitability & Reg BI Pre-Screening

Flags investment recommendations without suitability context before the reviewer queue.

Balanced Presentation Detection

Detects performance claims without equal risk disclosure — before principal review.

FCA "Fair, Clear, Not Misleading"

Applies FCA Consumer Duty and COBS 4 as a pre-check for all UK-destined content.

Testimonial & Endorsement Screening

Identifies testimonial language and flags required SEC Marketing Rule disclosures.

Fewer Rounds. Faster Approvals.

Issues returned to authors with specific fixes — reviewers make judgment calls, not corrections.

The Problem

"Social media posts by associated persons are communications with the public. They are subject to supervision, recordkeeping, and content standards — regardless of whether compliance was involved."

— FINRA Regulatory Notice 17-18

Financial services firms face a web of overlapping regulatory requirements for social media — and the rules apply whether the post came from your brand account, an advisor’s personal LinkedIn, or an intern’s tweet about market conditions.

MarketBeam maps every content workflow to the applicable regulatory framework. US firms get FINRA, SEC, and FDIC controls. UK firms and global firms with UK operations get FCA compliance built into a parallel content track.

Compliant Publishing

Content That Moves Through Compliance — Not Around It

The Problem

Publishing social content in financial services requires principal approval — but most tools don’t have a built-in approval workflow. Teams work around it with email chains, spreadsheet trackers, and manual coordination that creates gaps, delays, and missing records.
Result: Slow content velocity, audit trails that don’t exist, and approval processes that break down under volume — especially during market events when content needs to move fast.

The MarketBeam Solution

A publishing platform where compliance review is the workflow — not a gate bolted on afterward. S24 pre-checks every draft. Principals approve inside the platform. Records are created automatically. Nothing publishes without completing the process.

S24 AI Pre-Check Before Reviewer Queue

Content creators run S24 before submitting for principal review. Compliance issues are caught upstream — reducing back-and-forth rounds and letting reviewers focus on judgment calls, not obvious fixes.

Principal Approval Workflow — FINRA 3110

Every piece of retail communication goes through a structured principal review queue before it can be scheduled or published. Approvals, rejections, and revision requests are all logged with timestamps — creating the supervisory record FINRA examiners look for.

Multi-Market Publishing with Regulatory Segmentation

US content goes through FINRA/SEC workflows. UK content goes through an FCA-specific review track. Global teams cannot accidentally publish US content to UK audiences — or vice versa — without completing market-appropriate review.

17a-4 Compliant Recordkeeping — Automatic

Every draft, revision, approval decision, and published post is retained in an immutable, timestamped record meeting SEC Rule 17a-4 requirements. No separate archiving system needed. Three-year minimum retention built in.

Bulk Scheduling with Compliance Gates

Schedule content across LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and X — but scheduling is only available for content that has completed principal review. Unapproved content cannot be scheduled, eliminating the risk of inadvertent publication.

Analytics with Compliance Context

Measure reach, engagement, and content performance — with every metric tied to the compliance record of the content. Know not just what performed, but which content type, review time, and regulatory category it fell into.

Employee Advocacy

Your Advisors Build Their Brand. Your Compliance Team Keeps Control.

The Problem

Advisors and employees are active on LinkedIn — posting market commentary, investment views, and product content that appears under your firm’s name, without any compliance review, supervision record, or content control.
Public client complaints surface in comment threads. Non-compliant investment recommendations appear in search results. FINRA examiners ask for records your firm can’t produce.

The MarketBeam Solution

A controlled advocacy portal where advisors share only pre-approved, principal-reviewed content — in one click. Comments monitored automatically. Every share logged in a FINRA-ready record. Content locked at the approved version.

Compliance-Approved Content Library

Advisors browse a curated portal of principal-reviewed posts — market education, firm news, regulatory guidance summaries. Nothing unapproved is visible, accessible, or shareable through the platform.

Content Locked at Approved Version

Advisors cannot modify approved content before sharing. No performance claims can be added. No risk warnings removed. No investment recommendations improvised. The post they share is exactly what principal review approved.

Public Complaint Detection on Advisor Posts

MarketBeam monitors all comments on all advocacy posts. Client complaints surfacing publicly under your firm's name are flagged immediately — before they compound, before reporters see them, before examiners find them.

FINRA Supervisory Record — Every Share

Every advisor share, every comment, every escalation is logged in an immutable record. When FINRA examiners ask for social communications records, you produce them in minutes — not weeks of manual reconstruction.

Slack & Mobile — 1-Click Sharing

Push approved content to advisors via Slack or mobile notification. The easier it is to use the compliant channel, the less likely advisors are to improvise posts that create firm liability.

Social Monitoring & Community Management

Every Comment Is a Compliance Event. MarketBeam Treats It That Way.

The Problem

Social media comments on financial services content carry regulatory weight. Client complaints, unsuitable recommendation requests, and consumer complaints are all arriving publicly — and most firms have no system to detect, log, or respond to them compliantly at scale.
Manual monitoring is too slow. Generic social listening tools don’t understand regulatory signals. Comments that should be complaints in your CRM sit unlogged in a LinkedIn comment thread.

The MarketBeam Solution

Real-time monitoring across all brand and advisor channels — with AI that understands what a financial services complaint looks like. Complaints are flagged, escalated, and logged. Community responses use pre-approved language. Every interaction builds your supervisory record.

Community Management at Scale

Monitor and respond to comments across all channels from one unified inbox — with response guides that ensure your team uses only compliance-reviewed language when engaging with clients, prospects, and the public.

Problem: Employees respond to public comments off-the-cuff — creating unreviewed public statements that can be read as investment advice or regulatory commitments.

Solution: In-app Social Media Response Guide provides approved language for every scenario. Responses are logged with the original comment for the supervisory record.

Complaint Detection & Escalation

MarketBeam's AI identifies complaint signals in public comments — financial loss, service failure, suitability concerns — and escalates them immediately to compliance and the appropriate business unit, with full context preserved.

Problem:  Client complaints posted publicly on LinkedIn sit unlogged, uncaptured in your CRM, and invisible to compliance — until a regulator finds them first.

Solution: Every complaint detected is documented, escalated, and logged in the supervisory record. HubSpot integration routes complaints directly into your CRM as cases.

Regulatory Signal Detection

Beyond complaints, MarketBeam monitors for regulatory red flags in comment threads: investment solicitations directed at your account, third-party claims about your products, and misinformation that may require a compliant public correction.

Problem: Third parties posting misleading claims about your products in comment threads — or soliciting your followers — create brand and regulatory exposure you don’t know about.

Solution: Regulatory flags are categorized, logged, and routed to the appropriate team — compliance, legal, or communications — with a suggested response approach.

Executive Social Media Management

The C-Suite Is Your Most Visible Social Channel. Communications Teams Need the Controls to Match.

When your CEO posts on LinkedIn, they reach more people than your brand account. When they post non-compliant content, or respond to a client complaint without legal review, the risk lands on the firm. MarketBeam gives communications teams a managed workflow for executive social — with S24 pre-checks, compliance approval, and a full audit trail on every post.

Comms Team Drafts, Executive Approves

Communications teams draft all executive LinkedIn and X posts inside MarketBeam. Executives review and approve — or request edits — through a simple mobile interface. No unreviewed posts reach channels.

S24 Pre-Check on Every Executive Draft

Every executive post draft passes through S24 before reaching the compliance reviewer or the executive themselves. Reg FD risks, suitability implications, and unbalanced claims are caught before the CEO ever sees the draft.

Compliance Review Before Publication

Executive posts — particularly those touching markets, products, or firm performance — route through a compliance principal review step before they can be published. Legal and IR teams can be added to the review chain for sensitive periods.

Comment Monitoring on Executive Posts

Comments on executive posts carry the same regulatory weight as brand posts — with higher public visibility. MarketBeam monitors all comments in real time, flags complaints and regulatory signals, and alerts the communications team before situations escalate.

Full Audit Trail for Every Executive Post

Every draft, revision, approval, publication, and comment interaction on executive social content is logged immutably. When a regulator asks what the CEO posted during a sensitive quarter, you have a complete, exportable record.

FAQ

Questions FinServ Compliance Teams Ask

How does S24 AI pre-check actually reduce compliance review rounds?

S24 runs a full compliance analysis — balance, suitability signals, prohibited language, testimonial detection, FCA prominence — before the content creator submits for principal review. Issues are returned to the author with specific, actionable fixes. By the time the post reaches the reviewer’s queue, obvious compliance problems have already been resolved. Reviewers make judgment calls, not catch typos.

Does MarketBeam meet SEC Rule 17a-4 recordkeeping requirements?

All posts, approvals, shares, comments, and escalations processed through MarketBeam are retained in an immutable, timestamped format. The system is designed with 17a-4’s three-year minimum retention requirement in mind. We recommend working with your compliance counsel to confirm that MarketBeam’s records satisfy your firm’s specific retention obligations.

Does MarketBeam satisfy our FINRA Rule 3110 supervisory obligation for social media?

MarketBeam implements the technology infrastructure that makes a written supervisory procedure for social media enforceable — not just written. Pre-approval workflows, content locking, monitoring, records retention, and examination export address the core elements FINRA examiners look for. Your legal and compliance counsel should confirm applicability to your firm’s specific situation.

Can advisors still post independently, or must everything go through MarketBeam?

MarketBeam controls what advisors share through the platform — it doesn’t technically prevent independent posting. Most firms pair MarketBeam with a social media policy requiring use of the platform for any business-related content. MarketBeam makes the compliant path easier than improvised posting, which drives voluntary adoption.

How does the FCA content workflow differ from the FINRA/SEC workflow?

UK content in MarketBeam goes through a separate library and a parallel S24 pre-check that applies FCA-specific rules — Consumer Duty framing, COBS 4 promotion standards, and financial promotion prominence requirements. UK and US content cannot cross-pollinate without completing the appropriate jurisdiction’s review. Global teams operate in market-specific tracks within the same platform.

How quickly can we produce social communications records for a FINRA exam?

Immediately. MarketBeam maintains continuous, immutable records of all social activity. Filter by advisor, content type, date range, or channel and export a formatted audit package in under five minutes — organized in a format examiners can navigate directly.

How does MarketBeam handle client complaints that surface in social comments?

MarketBeam monitors all comments across all brand and advocacy channels in real time. AI identifies complaint signals — financial loss language, service failure, suitability concerns — and escalates them immediately to your compliance team with full context. HubSpot integration routes complaints directly into your CRM as cases. Every complaint interaction is logged in the supervisory record.

Which social channels are supported?

MarketBeam supports LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and X (Twitter) for publishing, employee advocacy, and comment monitoring. LinkedIn is the primary channel for financial services professional communications, with the most significant compliance exposure for advisor-generated content.
