St. James's Place Wealth Management plc is the UK's largest wealth manager, overseeing £170B+ in assets under management across a network of 4,700+ Partner advisers. Operating under FCA regulation, every client-facing communication must meet strict financial promotion standards — making compliant, personalised, at-scale marketing one of the defining challenges of SJP's digital programme.
St. James's Place Wealth Management plc is the UK's largest wealth manager, with £170 billion+ in assets under management and a network of 4,700+ Partner advisers. Every Partner-issued client communication is classified as an FCA-regulated financial promotion. Techila Global Services — a Salesforce Summit Partner — implemented Salesforce Marketing Cloud with Distributed Marketing, Salesforce CRM Analytics (formerly TCRM/Tableau CRM), and a MuleSoft-powered Sales Cloud integration. The programme enabled Partners to personalise and send FCA-compliant email and SMS communications on their own behalf, while the central marketing team retained brand, compliance, and content governance across the entire Partner network.

The Brief
7 challenges
SJP's marketing operation lacked a unified platform: promotional email journeys were managed manually, no automated system existed for OTP and security communications, Partners had no self-service channel to send FCA-compliant communications on the firm's behalf, and the team had no 360-degree analytics view of campaign performance across the Partner network.
No unified platform to manage marketing notifications and promotional email journeys at the scale of 4,700+ Partners.
No automated system for OTP and security communications — manual workarounds created security and compliance risk.
Lead nurturing required extensive manual use of Salesforce campaigns with no journey automation.
Partners had no self-service channel to send FCA-compliant communications on the firm's behalf.
Prospect-to-deal conversion lacked automated nurture sequences tied to pipeline stage.
No 360-degree analytics view — campaign performance data was siloed and unavailable in CRM Analytics (TCRM) reports.
Event registration campaigns lacked automated feedback collection and follow-up journeys.
