For lawyers, law firms, and companies serving the legal industry, content marketing and thought leadership marketing are a must if they want to build their books of business or increase their revenues.
Each episode, Wayne Pollock, a former Am Law 50 senior associate and the founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service, interviews lawyers and legal industry in-house marketers who are doing big things with their content marketing and thought leadership marketing.
If you are a lawyer, a law firm marketer, or a marketer at a company serving the legal industry and want to stay apprised of the best practices in content marketing and thought leadership marketing in the legal industry, this is the podcast for you.
In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) explains how the thought leadership that many attorneys and law firms publish is “empty-calorie” thought leadership.
He suggests five elements that attorneys can incorporate into their thought leadership to keep it from becoming empty-calorie thought leadership:
"Here's what this means for your industry."
"You might want to do this now."
"Be cognizant of these second-order effects."
"According to my crystal ball."
"Don't listen to them, they're wrong."

Brevity over bulk;

Like deliveries from the milkman, people wearing suits and dresses whenever they left their homes, and smoking/non-smoking sections in restaurants, attorneys writing their own thought leadership articles is a relic from yesteryear—and should follow the same fate as those once-upon-a-time staples of everyday life.
In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) walks through four reasons why attorneys should not write their own thought leadership articles—besides the issue of them having to invest non-billable time to do so:
Attorneys know how to write for the practice of law, not for marketing and selling the practice of law.
Attorneys approach thought leadership from a legal perspective, not a marketing perspective.
The overwhelming majority of attorneys don't understand best practices for thought leadership.
Most attorneys will never get better at writing thought leadership because they do it so rarely and as an add-on to their core legal practice.

Most professionals using AI for content creation are making the same mistake: they're following the "box instructions" and getting bland, forgettable results that scream "AI-generated."
In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) breaks down the perfect analogy for AI-assisted thought leadership: boxed brownie mix. Just like boxed brownies, your AI-assisted content can be basic and forgettable, or it can be impressive and memorable.
It all depends on how much of yourself you add to the mix and whether you can "spice up" AI-generated content with your unique perspective and voice.

In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) discusses how to inject storytelling into legal thought leadership.
Everyone says you need "storytelling" in your legal marketing. But how are you supposed to tell a story when you're writing about court decisions or legal or industry trends?
If you try to force a story into a standard piece of legal thought leadership, it usually fails.
In this episode, Wayne breaks down the specific article type that solves this problem: The "Best Practices" article. This approach allows you to shift the focus from legal updates to real-world client success stories without sounding like a promotional sales brochure.
Wayne discusses how to frame your strategies as objective best practices, how to put the reader in your client's shoes, and how to overcome the common fears attorneys have about sharing their "special sauce."
By using the Best Practices framework, you demonstrate your expertise and authority while making your content as refreshing and consumable as a cool lemonade on a hot day.

It takes less time to curate content than it does to create content.
Curated content gives you a non-salesy way to get your content in front of your audience.

According to Wayne, being notified when these people post:
Helps him reverse engineer both successful and unsuccessful posts;
Inspires him regarding the substance of his posts;
Inspires him regarding the formats of his posts; and
Reminds him that not every post, even from LinkedIn "experts," is going to be "a banger."

In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) explains why, in order to survive and thrive in today's evolving content world, attorneys and their firms (and all professional services providers and their firms, for that matter), need to be THE DESTINATION for thought leadership in the eyes of their target audiences and not simply A SOURCE of it.
In other words, they need to be the Joe Rogan of their practices.
Wayne walks through seven high-level considerations attorneys and their firms should keep in mind as they build out their content programs in the hopes of becoming THE DESTINATION for thought leadership for their target audiences.
Commit to the concept of thought leadership.
Commit to the idea of owning a niche or owning an industry.
Create thought leadership consistently.
Take an omnichannel approach to content creation.
Consider producing content across the content spectrum.
Create a content team and staff it appropriately.
Regularly seek feedback from your audiences.

In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) explains five ways a law firm's thought leadership can help eliminate the buyer's remorse a client might experience after deciding to retain the firm to handle a new legal matter:
Thought leadership continuously reinforces expertise and authority on the part of the law firm publishing it.
It provides ongoing value for a client beyond the work a law firm is doing on the client's active legal matter(s).
It helps shape clients' understanding of complex legal issues, thus managing their expectations about the result of their legal matter(s).
It demonstrates a law firm has capabilities beyond those it's employing in connection with a client's legal matter(s).
When a law firm's attorneys invite a client to co-produce thought leadership with them, that client will feel valued and appreciated.

In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) debunks the following four common misconceptions attorneys, executives at companies that serve the legal industry, and their marketing and business development colleagues have about working with thought leadership ghostwriters.
When an attorney or a legal industry executive works with a thought leadership ghostwriter, the material produced will not reflect the attorney's or the executive's ideas—it will reflect the ghostwriter's ideas.
When attorneys or legal industry executives work with a ghostwriter, they're not in control of the process.
It's rare for professionals to use ghostwriters.
Attorneys and legal industry executives don't need ghostwriters because they're already writing thought leadership materials as part of their ongoing marketing, business development, and personal branding efforts.

In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) explains six ways thought leadership can support your firm's strategic plan.
By covering issues or developments regarding the practices and kinds of matters it's already known for
By covering issues or developments related to the kinds of matters it wants more of
By covering issues or developments in the industries it wants more clients in
By strengthening, through co-authoring or co-producing content, relationships with the referral sources and other third parties it wants to strengthen relationships with
By discussing the kinds of business of law/practice of law initiatives the firm wants to develop, such as ones regarding culture, professional development, etc.
The mere act of publishing thought leadership regarding the above five categories of topics will support a strategic plan's emphasis on attorneys producing thought leadership as part of their marketing and business development efforts

In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) explains the benefits of attorneys talking in their thought leadership about their philosophies regarding solving clients' legal and business issues instead of just the tactics they would employ when doing so.
Those benefits include:
The attorneys show clients they've thought deeply about the issues they're discussing in their thought leadership
They demonstrate to clients that they have the knowledge, wisdom, and experience to help them solve their legal or business problems
They show clients they are aware of the trends and developments in their industries and in the attorneys' own practice areas
They create a connection with those clients who share, or agree with, their philosophies
They repel those clients who neither share nor agree with their philosophies
They differentiate themselves from their competitors
They attract like-minded lateral attorneys and staff

In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) explains six ways that thought leadership can help attorneys secure speaking engagements.
It gets them exposure to event organizers and people who influence those organizers.
It gives them credibility as someone knowledgeable and wise about the topics they cover, the areas of law they practice, and the industries they serve.
It shows event organizers they can tackle a wide range of topics.
It gives event organizers a preview of their stage presence.
When their thought leadership helps them build a social media following or a large number of subscribers to a newsletter, those followers and subscribers show event organizers people are interested in what the attorneys have to say.
When an attorney's thought leadership is published in third-party publications, and/or leads to media interviews or podcast invitations, event organizers realize the attorney is in demand and recognized as an established thought leader who attendees will want to hear from.

In this episode, Wayne Pollock, the founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service, interviews Jordan Ostroff, founder of Driven Law and LegalEase Marketing.
As you can tell by Jordan's "uniform" of a Hawaiian shirt, khaki shorts, and flip flops, Jordan injects his personality into all of his content and bucks the trend of the stuffy lawyer whose marketing efforts are vanilla and uninspired.
In this episode, Jordan and Wayne discuss, among other things:
The importance of offline marketing in today's digital marketing-dominated world
Why lawyers need to be comfortable saying "no" to clients who are not a good fit for them
The importance of niching to a specific client instead of a specific type of case
Why lawyers should own what sets them apart from the crowd
Why vanilla marketing is a terrible choice for law firms
The philosophy that will help you consistently create content
How to find your voice for marketing purposes

Those five rules are:
Your content will be relevant, valuable, and compelling

You will show up consistently

In this episode, Wayne Pollock, the founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service, interviews David Zetoony, Co-Chair of Greenberg Traurig's U.S. Data Privacy and Cybersecurity Practice. David is a prolific writer, creating upwards of 200 articles a year regarding cybersecurity and data privacy issues.
The National Law Journal named David a “Cybersecurity and Data Privacy Trailblazer,” JD Supra recognized him four times as one of the most widely read names when it comes to data privacy, cyber security, or the collection and use of data, and Lexology identified him fourteen times as the top “legal influencer” in the area of technology, media, and telecommunications in the United States, the European Union, and in the context of cross-border transfers of information.
He is the author of "Building a Law Practice One Article at a Time," published by the American Bar Association, as well as the ABA's primary publication on the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ABA's Desk Reference Companion to the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).
In this episode, David and Wayne discuss, among other things:
Why attorneys should be prolific with their thought leadership content
How content is a client service tool as much as it is a marketing and business development tool
Why your clients hold the key to your content creation
David's process for writing 200 articles a year
Why tying your thought leadership content to news articles makes it less valuable
What lawyers get wrong about how thought leadership is supposed to work
Why content that doesn't take a position reflects poorly on the attorney writing it
Why attorneys shouldn't hand off their thought leadership content drafting to associates

In this episode, Wayne Pollock, the founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service, interviews John Strohmeyer, proprietor of Strohmeyer Law, an estate planning, tax, and probate law firm in Houston. John is the host of two podcasts that serve different functions.
The first, Five Star Counsel, answers the question, "What would a law firm built by the founders of Disney, Four Seasons, Amazon, and Zappos look like?" Before law school, John was Night Manager of the Four Seasons Hotel in Austin, Texas, where he received a crash course on best practices for client service. This podcast helps him brand himself as an authority on client service at law firms.

In this episode, John and Wayne discuss, among other things:

His advice for lawyers who want to begin podcasting

In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of Copo Strategies and the Law Firm Editorial Service) explains how thought leadership marketing and business development content can grease law firms' and lawyers' business development skids. When it does, it can get law firms and lawyers 90% of the way there in terms of showing a prospective client that the firm or the lawyer is the right choice for them.
Wayne discusses four reasons why this is the case:
Relevant, valuable, and compelling thought leadership content shows off law firms' and lawyers' knowledge and wisdom regarding a particular area of the law or a particular industry, which goes a long way in showing a prospective client that the law firms and lawyers have the goods.
Consistent publication of thought leadership content shows the law firm or lawyers creating the content are authorities regarding the areas of law they practice, and that consistency also builds trust.
Thought leadership content can include subjective viewpoints that build rapport because they show prospective clients that a law firm or lawyer sees the world from the same perspective they do, such as a white-collar criminal defense lawyer always mentioning overzealous prosecutors who overcharge people for political gain.
Thought leadership content can include references to lawyers' personal lives, hobbies, and interests outside of the office, which build rapport with prospective clients who share those interests.

In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of Copo Strategies and the Law Firm Editorial Service) explains why bingeable content shouldn't just be the domain of Netflix, Disney+, and other streaming services or content creators.
Wayne discusses four reasons why law firms should be creating bingeable thought leadership content. Those reasons include:
Bingeable thought leadership content creates a favorable first impression in the minds of current and prospective clients and referral sources, and anyone else, consuming that content.
The scope and depth of bingeable thought leadership content establishes the attorneys behind it as authorities in the areas of law they practice and the industries they serve.
Bingeable thought leadership content allows the consumers of that content to go on a self-guided process where they can get to know, like, and trust the lawyers at a firm based solely on their thought leadership content and without those lawyers having to take time to engage with those consumers via 1:1 communications that those consumers might not want in the first place given where they're at in their process of researching potential lawyers and law firms to assist them with their issues.
Bingeable thought leadership content puts the attorneys behind it in pole position to win the business of the people consuming it, and creates a competitive moat other lawyers and law firms are unlikely (and probably, unwilling) to cross.

In this episode, Wayne Pollock (founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) explains four lessons cake decorating competitions can teach lawyers about writing and editing, especially writing and editing thought-leadership marketing and business development content.
Those four lessons are:
Baking and decorating are two separate steps. So too are writing and editing.
Both steps, baking and decorating, are required for a contestant to be successful. So too are both steps, writing and editing, required for a piece of content to be well-received by its target audience.
A mistake in one of the steps—baking/decorating or writing/editing—can sink the entire project.
Just like cake decorating competition contestants are judged on both their baking and their decorating, lawyers will be judged by their audience on both their writing and editing.

In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) explains why today, content is a credential for lawyers.
Today, in this age of content marketing and thought-leadership marketing, content is evidence of a lawyer's status and authority regarding the areas of law they practice and the kinds of issues they can help their clients with.
Lawyers would be wise to understand this idea, embrace it, and create content with it in mind.

In this episode, Wayne Pollock (founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) explains why lawyers should take a stand in the thought leadership content they create.
He explains three particular reasons why they should do so:
True leaders lead and have opinions.
Your audience might interpret your lack of taking a stand as you not being knowledgeable or caring about the topic you're discussing.
You'll signal to your audience that you have their interests at heart.

In this episode, Wayne Pollock, the founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service, interviews Robert D. Keeling and Colleen M. Kenney, partners in, and co-leaders of, Sidley Austin's eDiscovery and Data Analytics group.
The backstory behind this interview is that Wayne was recently researching eDiscovery case law and came across Sidley's monthly eDiscovery Update. He thought it was an example of a law firm using a classic "express lane" to becoming thought leaders on a topic: Drill down deep on a topic of relevance to your current and prospective clients, and do it consistently. He thought the updates, and the overall initiative, are what a well-done Big Law thought leadership program looks like.
And he said as much on LinkedIn:
https://www.linkedin.com/posts/waynepollock_biglawthoughtleadership-lawfirmmarketing-activity-6938499190645809152--XXr/
In this episode, Robert, Colleen, and Wayne discuss the work that goes into producing the eDiscovery Update, as well as the group's thought-leadership marketing efforts generally. They talked about, among other things:
How Sidley's eDiscovery and Data Analytics practice group came to be;
The importance of their colleagues knowing what they do and how they can help them;
What the first incarnation of the eDiscovery Update looked like and why they realized there was a bigger audience for it than its original audience;
What's kept the eDiscovery Update going strong for almost two decades(!);
The workflow behind each month's edition, including the division of labor between lawyers and how much time goes into each edition;
What the feedback has been over the years from clients and other readers;
The opportunities the eDiscovery Update has unlocked for Robert, Colleen, and their colleagues; and
How the group balances quality vs speed when writing each month's eDiscovery Update.

In this episode, Wayne Pollock (founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) explains why good writers put their readers on the slide and not the monkey bars.
In other words, they make it easy for readers to consume their content by writing content that flows without a reader having to make much effort to read it and digest it. Each sentence leads to the next one. Each paragraph leads to the next one. Each section leads to the next one. And for that reason, readers can easily follow what is being said.

In this episode, Wayne Pollock, the founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service, explains how, with a particular two-pronged strategy, corporate law firms need not have to choose between either publishing client alerts quickly but sacrificing depth in the process, or publishing more robust client alerts but appearing in their audiences' email inboxes well after other law firms have already published their alerts.

In this episode, Wayne Pollock, the founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service, explains why, when it comes to the length of written marketing and business development content, law firms should not give their readers a whole chicken when all those readers want are nuggets.
In other words, law firms should not bombard the readers of their marketing and business development content with long pieces of content when those readers prefer shorter pieces of content.
