Remote Video Capture with Robert Weiss

“See you in front of the camera” is the salutation with which Robert Weiss, of Multivision Digital, one of the top video production companies in NYC, signs his emails. These days, we’re all in front of the camera. Not only are we in front of cameras more often than ever, but the flip side is that we’re all watching more video than ever before, too. There is an opportunity to produce strategic content to meet this demand and the means to do so safely despite the pandemic. In this episode Robert and I discuss three approaches to safely creating content now, during the pandemic, with a focus on remote video capture. We look forward to a post-pandemic period when remote video capture will remain a means of producing content at scale across a broad geographic footprint.

Recorded December 15, 2020 via Zoom.

Paul D. Webb and I begin this episode with a general discussion of the relationship between marketing and business development from his perspective as Director of Marketing and Business Development at Richards Layton & Finger. We move on quickly to the heart of the conversation: a discussion of diversity in the legal industry. We touch on the need for advancing diversity not only among the ranks of attorneys (particularly leadership) but also among legal marketing teams. Our conversation touches on the business imperative of having a diverse firm, what it means to be a diverse firm and the processes and systems that will be needed to bring about diverse firms.

Digital, Social Media and Ethics with Ethan Wall

Digital marketing is no longer an also ran in marketing discussions. In many ways, digital is front and center. Within the digital realm, engaging social media is becoming a necessity. This creates a number of challenges, both practical and ethical. Ethan Wall joins me on this episode of the Legal Marketing Studio Podcast to discuss the state of digital marketing in 2018, engaging in social media strategically, planning content production and staying within the ethics rules. He shared so much good content I had to break it out into three separate episodes.

Ethan walks the walk. You can find him on Twitter (@SMLawandOrder), Facebook, LinkedIn, Youtube and Instagram (@socialmedialawandorder). Oh, and he blogs about social media marketing for law firms, too.

And he wrote a book on social media for lawyers.
