Midwest: The Top Words in Legal Marketing
Wednesday, May 8 | Noon - 1 p.m. CT
If you could only use one word to describe your firm, what would it be? Innovative? Trusted? Client-focused? Wouldn’t it be valuable to better understand how these words are being used and by what firms? Are these words emerging or are they tried and true? As you fight against increased competition, differentiating amongst competitors is paramount.
In this session, the 2024 “One Story Top Words in Law” study will be exclusively revealed. In the study, One Story Branding reviewed language from the 10 most prestigious law firms to rank the most used words and themes. What’s important about this session is that it reveals not just the words and themes but the “why” behind them.
One Story Branding will be joined by Angela Quinn, Chief Client Officer at Husch Blackwell who will help analyze the results. The presenters will cover the findings and also share ways to better tell your firm’s true, relevant, and differentiated story. They will also save plenty of time for questions. This will be a valuable session for marketing, business development, and recruiting professionals.
Key Takeaways:
- What words and themes are used and overused.
- How top firms tell the true, relevant, and differentiated stories of their firms.
- How brand attributes and values can connect or conflict with how a firm represents themselves with visuals and digital experience.
- How your own firm can better describe themselves to stand out or fit in.
