03Production Breakdown
This shirley — executive profile work is part of WERZ's collaboration with Portfolio Advisors in Fresno, focused on trust, leadership visibility, and client-facing credibility. The film is profile-led, designed to build trust through leadership presence and human introduction. Portfolio Advisors is an independent financial advisory firm in Fresno, California, focused on fiduciary investment guidance and planning for busy professionals, people nearing retirement, and retirees.
Profile-led audio for Portfolio Advisors centered on a featured speaker introducing their role, perspective, and trust-building context. And the things that I look for, which I have found with Portfolio Advisors, is I want people I deal with, you know, I want them to be able to communicate, I want that articulation. But I think just as important is dealing with people who care.
