Best use of Social Media

Content marketing is an invaluable tool when it comes to growing your legal business. If the content you produce is engaging and informative, you will be viewed as a credible and authoritative source within your area of expertise. It also plays a key role in driving genuine trust and quality leads.
However, writing good quality and engaging content can be rather time consuming. One of the main challenges we hear is that firms are just too busy in their day to day roles, to invest time in focusing on writing content for their business, especially when this time can be better spent with a client.
As the publishers of 3 legal journals providing daily news, industry insight and best practice, Practical Vision/Today’s Media are well placed to understand how to communicate with and on behalf of the legal sector.
Editor Assist provides a range of content options from pre-written articles, through to bespoke blogs and longer form whitepapers. Our content packs provide consistent and topical articles on a monthly basis, enabling your firm to stand out in a busy market. Our subscription options are flexible and we can help you plan scheduled content for the whole year.
