Internet Strategist for Marketing and Business Development in the Legal Industry
Miami/Fort Lauderdale Area
I provide counsel to lawyers, administrators and law firm marketing executives seeking to improve their presence, influence, connections, communications and enhance their reputations using Web tools and services.
I won’t just build you a Web site, [blog, community, etc] I’ll build you a strategy, a policy, and a plan to realize a return on your objectives. I’ll see it through the execution and follow up.
I understand, first hand, the way lawyers work, think and communicate with clients and the media. A holistic approach improves not only the way in which law firms communicate to various constituencies, but also targets the content of their messaging.
The best way to approach social media is with a sound, fair and ethical policy in place. After I help you craft your social media policy, I present the policy in a program that walks you through social media, teaching you sound ethical practices that back up your policy.
Consider engaging me for a presentation at your next law firm retreat or training session at your offices.
