The summer is a great time to reconnect with contacts and focus on your business development and branding efforts. Instead of taking a break from doing business development and marketing activities while the sun is shining, smartly use this time to focus on those marketing activities you always wish that you had more time to do. This is great way to get an advantage over your competitors who may be lounging poolside for the summer. Here are some ideas on how you can incorporate in-person networking and online networking to help you build your brand and your book of business. 

I recently had the opportunity to participate in an interview series with the Legal Marketing Association where they asked some of the speakers of the upcoming LMA19 conference to respond to questions on why they submitted to speak at the LMA Annual Conference, what they hope attendees will learn from their presentation, what they think are the keys for success for legal marketers today and which other sessions they are most excited to attend. Here are my responses. I’m looking forward to seeing many of you in Atlanta on April 8-10, and I hope you will join me and Jennifer Carr for our deep-dive workshop session on April 10 at 1:30pm on “Beyond Branding: Aligning Social Media Strategy With Business Development Goals.” Learn more about the session
