Indianapolis, IN  - October 2009 - In the very competitive financial services industry, finding a highly skilled, highly experienced marketing consultant can be quite a challenge.  With the recent addition of Christopher T. Reardon, The Ohlson Group, a national insurance marketing organization (IMO) and retirement planning firm has met that challenge and then some.  “Chris Reardon is a seasoned veteran,” says Raymond J. Ohlson, CLU, CEO and Founder of The Ohlson Group.  “We are extremely excited to have him with us.”

Reardon graduated from Ball State University with a degree in Journalism and a minor in Political Science.  He soon found his way into the financial services industry in which he has worked for the past ten years.  “Chris believes in the consultative approach to marketing,” Ohlson continues.  “As an Insurance Marketing Organization, our mission is to make sure all of the financial advisors we work with succeed.  Chris’s philosophy of close, one-on-one working relationships fits perfectly with that mission.”

Prior to joining Ohlson, Reardon worked for one of America’s largest and most respected IMOs.  “I had a wonderful experience with my previous firm,” he says. “They are great people, but The Ohlson Group has a boutique feeling and operates more like a National Agency.  That really fits my personality better.”

Ohlson adds, “The experience Chris gained with his previous employer is incredibly valuable.  But, because of our smaller size and focus, Chris will be able to spend far more quality time with his trusted advisors in the field.  That’s part of the reason our advisors refer to The Ohlson Group as “a different experience!”

Reardon has already begun work at The Ohlson Group’s Indianapolis headquarters and looks forward to helping new advisors as well as other seasoned pros increase their success working in the retirement planning area.
