DIY Marketing for Small and Mid-Sized Law Firms 

Wednesday, May 22 | 11:30 a.m. - 1 p.m. CT 

When YOU are the resource, how do you get things done quickly and efficiently? By doing it yourself, of course, and leveraging the LMA member brain trust. Join legal tech nerds Laura Gutierrez and Dr. Lauren McNee Doherty for an interactive and useful fishbowl/Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on do-it-yourself marketing in small and midsize firms. We’ll be crowdsourcing real-life issues from LMAers before and during the session that solve problems efficiently and economically, discussed through the lens of workflow, marketing technology, and sustainability.

No topic is too big or too small! Laura and Lauren are prepared to tackle issues from mundane to remarkable. Here are some hot topics to get you started: 

  • Artificial intelligence and generative AI 
  • Email marketing 
  • Social – X (Twitter), Threads 
  • Podcasts 
  • Video 
  • Partnerships and sponsorships 
  • Print vs digital

Laura and Lauren have presented on DIY marketing for the LMA Midwest Regional Conference and the LMA Michigan Local Group. They co-authored an article for Attorney At Work, "Tips, Tools and Best Practices for DIY Legal Marketers in Small to Midsize Firms," that made the publication's list of "Top Legal Marketing Articles of 2023."
