The Power of Staying Independent

“Built for Advisors, Not Investors.”

Jessica Hernandez EVP-Wholehan Marketing

In an era where large, private-equity-backed FMOs dominate the headlines, it’s easy to think scale equals strength. But ask most advisors, and you’ll hear a different story: independence is where the real power lies.

At Wholehan Marketing, we’ve chosen to remain family-owned, advisor-focused, and fiercely independent for nearly four decades.

Why? Because independence gives us the freedom to do what’s best for you, not shareholders.

When you partner with Wholehan, you get:


 Unbiased carrier recommendations – not driven by quotas or profit targets.

Direct access to real people who know your business and your clients.

Tailored case design that supports your unique client goals.

Decades of industry experience that you can actually reach on the phone.

Independence isn’t just our structure – it’s our philosophy.

It’s what allows us to move faster, think creatively, and serve every advisor with the care and expertise they deserve.

In a business built on trust, relationships, and long-term results, independence isn’t just an advantage – it’s a responsibility.

Choose partnership over production. Choose people over profit.

Choose Wholehan Marketing.
