20160923_123437_er

At the heart of nearly all marketing materials are words. How well those words are written will determine how effectively they reach the intended audience. Edie Reinhardt and I sat down to discuss writing well, writing with purpose and writing to strategic effect. With a background in both the law and publishing, Edie has a unique perspective on how to tailor one’s writing for a particular audience in a consistent, personal voice and maintain that writing over the long time span required of content marketing. Whether you’re writing for a legal audience composed of other lawyers or seeking to reach potential clients who are not legal experts, you’ll find plenty of insight in this conversation.

Photography is a powerful medium that fuels the web. I believe that there is so much potential for law firms to better use photography in amplifying their marketing messages that I invited one of my competitors, David Lubarsky, onto the podcast to discuss how firms can help us to conceive and create powerful images that integrate into their marketing materials and drive their business objectives. My conversation with David covers conceptualization, pre-production, post-production and, inevitably, our personal projects.
