OVERLAND PARK, KS - November 12, 2007-  Mike “Cy” Cajthaml, CFP®, better known as “Mike “Cy” the Investment Guy”, was named Senior Vice President of Creative Marketing’s elite producer group, Tailor Made Services.  Mike will semi-retire from his Chicago based financial planning practice to join the Kansas City based insurance wholesaler, bringing his valued advisor experience and know-how to his new leadership role.

“The Tailor Made Program is really one of the best kept secrets in the financial services industry,” stated Mike Cajthaml.  “I really look forward to bringing both proven and innovative marketing and operational ideas to the Tailor Made group, as well as create additional industry awareness about the program itself.  It’s a great opportunity for dedicated advisors to utilize an outside team of experts to help them effectively and efficiently grow their financial planning practices.”

The Tailor Made Services program was established in late 2005 by Creative Marketing, with the goal of providing customized and comprehensive services to a handful of the nation’s top financial advisors, assisting them with advanced marketing, operational, and training support.  Shortly after introduction, the producer group became a platform for like-minded top advisors to come together, share strategies and learn from each other.  An invitation is extended to those who reach a high level of production, who exemplify professional accomplishment, a commitment to excel, and dedication to achieving success. This elite group, with all its offerings, is unprecedented in the financial services arena.

“Mike “Cy” the Investment Guy is a natural fit for this role,” stated Mike Tripses, President of Creative Marketing.  “Tailor Made Services is a very special component of Creative Marketing’s service offerings, and requires a special and experienced professional to take its lead. Mike “Cy” is just that guy.” 

Mike “Cy” joins the Creative Marketing team with twenty plus years of industry experience.  During his tenure as a financial service professional, Mike has offered his clients an array of services for income and retirement planning, advising clients about life insurance, property & casualty, fixed annuity, securities, employee benefits and more.   Most recently, his financial planning practice, McHenry County Investment Services, Inc., was structured as a wholly owned subsidiary of the McHenry Savings Bank, with an office located inside the main facility.  He offered his services to both the general public and bank clientele, which proved to be a very successful business model. 

Mike was recently recognized as one of the top five finalists for “Advisor of the Year”, by Senior Market Advisor magazine, and is frequently quoted by financial media, most notably, The Wall Street Journal. Mike also received “One of America’s Best Financial Planners” award for 2005-2006 from the Consumer Research Council of America.
