February Matters & what's happening in March
What happend in February
February went with a bang, lots of really interesting bento bulletin content and really good stats as you will see later in the document. Our FSCS survey continued to gain momentum within the press and we had a number of positive articles.
Webcasts
In February we took part in the Q1 BrightTalk Investment Summit. The session was with Rayner Spencer Mills Research and on ‘How to build an investment process. This session has so far proved to be really successful with 203 views so far! If you would like to take a look yourself then click here. This is among Bright Talks “most viewed” in a short space of time.
We also ran a Bento for One webcast on 27th February with John Joe McGinley entitled ‘Be your own Nostradamus – why every business needs to see into the future!’ which can be viewed by visiting http://www.panaceaadviser.com/main/st13070/be+your+own+nostradamus+%96+why+every+business+needs+to+see+into+the+future%21.htm
Site updates
We launched a new Industry Voices section of the site in February where we feature all of the regular individual Panacea contributors. If you have any spokesperson from your own organisation added to this area of the site let Sarah know. The page can be viewed by going to http://www.panaceaadviser.com/news+comments/industry+voices.htm
Bento Bulletins
Last year we increased the number of Bento bulletins we send out on a weekly basis to three per week.
We get asked regularly when issues are being distributed. Going forward these should normally go out on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday with solus mails going out on a Tuesday and Thursday.
Any bento bulletin articles will generally be added to the site within one working day and will be added into the next available Bento. We will endeavour to ensure that this will be either the following issue or the one after that, i.e if you send us an article on a Monday, it will either be in Wednesday’s or Friday’s bulletin.
We have also set up a dedicated mailbox for bento bulletin articles, so going forward please could you add this to any distribution lists and PR lists you may have as all articles will be picked up directly from here: bento@panaceaadviser.com.
Solus of the Month
Congratulations to Just Retirement who win our ‘most opened solus of the month’ for January award with their mailing
“Introducing Just, the new name for Partnership and Just Retirement”.
Thank you’s
We would like to welcome Brooks Madonald to our stable of partners in February and thank Royal London and Just Retirement for renewing for another year! We look forward to working with you in 2017!
What's happening in March
Bento bulletin analysis 2016
The Bento Bulletin analysis that was undertaken in October 2016 is being updated for the entire year and will be ready for distribution early March.
Events area of the site
The Events area of the site has proved very popular with both partners and the community alike. It features regularly on the ‘Top Ten’ pages and was viewed 14,000 times over the course of 2016. Consequently we are making some enhancements to this area in March, whereby users will be able to register for events directly from this area rather than having to click on a number of links.
This functionality will be available as a choice to you, so if you prefer not to have this for specific events then you don’t have to have it.
Just let Hannah Hutcheon know if you are running any seminars, roadshows, conferences or webinars and want them adding to the events area of the site.

CPD Area of the site
We will be undertaking more promotion of the CPD area of the site in the months to come so if you have any articles or videos that are CPD accredited, please let us know and we will get it added to the site.
