Sometimes things go sideways. Raj Jha of Practice Alchemy joins me on the final episode of 2018 to look back at the year and describe the three biggest marketing mistakes he saw law firms make in 2018. Strategy fails; accountability fails; and vendor fails. We’ve got all kinds of fails. Of course we pull out the lessons from these failures so our listeners can market better in 2019.

At the 2018 Legal Marketing Association’s Northeast Regional Conference, I was on a panel with Angela Robinson (Marketing Communications Manager, Finnegan) and Robert Ambrogi (host, LawNext podcast) that was moderated by Susan Peters (President, Greybridge PR). We discussed topics such as strategic goals, what useful content sounds like, the nitty gritty of producing a podcast and how to grow one’s audience.

One aspect of legal marketing that I have always found fascinating is the career shift that occurs when it becomes incumbent upon associates and new partners to begin selling their services and those of their firm in order to move their careers forward. Chris Seleski and M. Frank Francis join me to discus their experiences navigating this shift. We discuss the strategies they have employed, the firm resources they have taken advantage of and the role played by various bar associations to which they each belong. Experienced partners at small and mid-size firms will find this conversation useful as it hints at ways they can support and encourage their associates’ business development efforts.

A strong personal brand can help an attorney or executive to develop new business for his or her firm or company. Jasmine Sandler, keynote speaker, trainer, author and consultant in digital marketing and social selling for global organizations, joins me on the latest podcast to discuss her process for helping attorneys, executives and entrepreneurs build, grow and protect this kind of personal brand. Our conversation touches on the kinds of goals and initiatives served by building these kinds of personal brands, the interaction between this personal branding and firm branding, and the buy-in and commitment required to succeed.
