Good Photography is Vital in Effective Legal Marketing with Michael N Meyer

Good photography echoes and amplifies your marketing messages while effectively boosting engagement with written content. In this episode, I encourage attorneys (and marketers working with attorneys) to expand their concept of how they can and should use photographs or other visual content in their marketing. It is no longer enough to have a mediocre attorney portrait; nor is it enough to have only one’s attorney portrait. At the very least that portrait should be built around the firm brand; ideally it will be built around the firm brand, support its marketing strategies and exist within a library of like images that can be repurposed across the full range of communications that an individual attorney or larger firm is making use of.

Opportunity in the Moderate Income Demographic with The Court Square Law Project’s Naree Sinthusek and Jake Dore

Naree Sinthusek and Jake Dore of the Court Square Law Project discuss the Project’s mission of providing quality legal services for people who believe they can’t afford a lawyer and the market opportunity in that representation gap. We discuss the business and social justice aspects inherent in that mission and the difficulty of balancing those opposing forces. We discuss, as well, the educational aspects of the Project: encouraging the recognition within the legal community of the business opportunity (and social good) in serving this demographic and showing this moderate income demographic that legal representation is available and affordable.

Adapting to the New LinkedIn Interface with Bruce Segall

In early 2017 LinkedIn began rolling out its new interface. The changes were met with a mix of delight, acceptance and gnashing of teeth. Regardless of how one feels about the changes, in what ways is it necessary to adapt one’s business development strategy on the platform? What will continue to work? What will get a lower response? And what new opportunities are there? Bruce Segall of Marketing Sense joins me on this episode to explore what the changes to LinkedIn’s interface portend for users and suggest about the direction the platform will move in the future.
