For the third time this year, Ocean Park Asset Management, an investment firm focused on disciplined risk management, has received industry recognition for its campaign featuring its intrepid rubber duck, Sortino!

This time the campaign has been named a finalist in the ThinkAdvisor 2025 Luminaries Awards in the Asset Managers Firm Award – Excellence in Marketing and PR category. The recognition spotlights the firm’s inventive and impactful “Leveraging the Duck” campaign, which has already earned Gold at the 2025 Financial Communications Society (FCS) Portfolio Awards and finalist recognition at the MMI/Barron’s Industry Awards. Sortino and Ocean Park are thrilled.

The Luminaries Awards spotlight excellence in financial services, honoring firms and individuals making a lasting impact through leadership, innovation, and creativity. The four nominees in this year’s category are Ocean Park, Hartford Funds, Sentinel Net Lease, and Wilmington Trust / Peppercomm. This nomination follows a series of national recognitions for the Duck campaign earlier this year, underscoring the firm’s ongoing momentum.

“At the start of this campaign, we wanted to connect with advisors in a fresh and memorable way,” said Vanda Freesman, Chief Marketing Officer at Ocean Park. “To see the message resonate so broadly, and to be recognized by multiple respected programs, is deeply rewarding. It’s a testament not just to a creative idea, but to the discipline and philosophy it represents.”

Developed in partnership with Norton Agency, the “Leveraging the Duck” campaign draws on a long-standing analogy from firm co-founder David Wright: “When someone throws an object at your head, what do you do? You duck.” Sortino agrees.

What began as a print ad in 2024 has since become a unifying platform for the firm’s marketing, woven into ETF launches, digital and print advertising, events, and a direct mail initiative that shipped thousands of bright yellow rubber ducks to advisors on National Rubber Duck Day.

Winners of the ThinkAdvisor 2025 Luminaries Awards will be announced at a ceremony on December 4, 2025 at the New York Hilton Midtown. Sortino can’t wait.
