mfcinv.com Website
New landing page · Family Office & Private Investments
Stratham, NH
Naples, FL
A clean, authoritative landing page for MFC Investco — navy blue branding, both NH and Florida offices, and a contact email. Calm, discreet, institutional. Exactly right for a private family office. Separates Chris's personal brand from his investment entity while giving both a credible web presence.

Why This Matters
Every one of these "before" states was quietly undermining Chris's authority. A parked domain, a confused Google result, a generic LinkedIn banner — individually small, collectively significant. Phase 1 cleared the foundation. Everything built on top of it now stands on solid ground.
Phase 2 — In Progress
Video Production
  • Edit and subtitle Session 1 footage (16–18 videos)
  • Schedule Sessions 2 & 3 (16–18 videos each)
  • Launch YouTube channel with optimized metadata
  • Short-form clips for LinkedIn & Instagram Reels
Phase 2 — Starting Now
Email Newsletter
  • Select platform (ConvertKit or equivalent)
  • Build 52-email evergreen welcome sequence
  • Connect list to chrismasiello.com opt-in
  • Launch: one video + one insight every Monday
Phase 3 — Upcoming
Legacy Architecture
  • Wikipedia article (strategy-first approach)
  • Podcast outreach & speaking placements
  • Press page on chrismasiello.com
  • Publisher coordination for new editions
