About Our Guests
Angela York grew up in Hollywood, CA, surrounded by the TV industry. Inspired by her parents who worked in television, she initially envisioned a career in TV production. However, her journey took a different path. After college, she began her marketing career at an advertising agency in Orange County. Soon after, she transitioned to an in-house role at an advisory firm, leading their marketing department. This experience set the foundation for her career in marketing and event planning.
In 2008, after nearly a decade at the advisory firm, Angela founded a consulting business specializing in event planning, marketing implementation, and administrative support. This venture allowed her to collaborate with wealth managers and financial services firms across California and the Pacific West, honing her skills and deepening her understanding of the financial advisory space.
The global pandemic in 2020 brought new challenges and opportunities. In 2021, Angela co-founded Event Advisors with her partner Elyse Stoner. Combining 30 years of marketing experience and 20 years in the advisory space, their mission is to help financial advisors host events that strengthen client relationships and create growth opportunities.
At Event Advisors, Angela and her team believe in the power of events to enhance client relationships. Well-executed events deepen existing relationships, show appreciation, and convert prospects into clients. They design custom events that foster and sustain client relationships, driving growth and loyalty. Their goal is to remove the stress of event planning, allowing advisors to focus on what they do best.
