Vested Suggested curates and analyzes stories that Vested clients and other users need to stay informed about the finance and fintech sectors. Vested, which specializes in financial communications, has put together an editorial team to aggregate and add context to breaking news.

Brett Crosby, a co-founder of Google (News - Alert) Analytics and now chief operating officer and co-founder of PeerStreet, a Vested client, said: "On-demand information is an increasingly valuable asset, and the companies that figure out how to deliver it for their clients faster will be the winners. This holds true in the service sector just asit does in the tech sector. With this move, Vested continues to demonstrate their innovation as well as their commitment to better supporting their clients."



"It's great to have our content be made available to our clients on command," said Dan Simon, Vested co-founder and CEO. "Our clients expect us to keep pace with the rapid news cycle and to communicate that news in real time. As a service-minded agency, we listen to our clients and deliver on their expectations. The Vested Suggested Alexa skill is the first step of delivering customized industry news and intelligence on a client-by-client basis."

According to a recent study by National Public Radio and Edison Research, smart speaker owners say they use their smart speakers for 7.5 common tasks during their week and 42 percent say their device is now "essential" to their everyday life. As digital media continues to change the way people consume information, it is critical for public relations firms to capitalize on these changing behaviors.
