Law360 Article: Don’t Be Social Media Distancing: LinkedIn Tips For Lawyers
Law360 recently published an article of mine, “Don’t Be Social Media Distancing: LinkedIn Tips For Lawyers” that I wanted to highlight on the blog. These tips can be used by lawyers and other professionals for appropriate brand building and marketing during the coronavirus outbreak. I live in NYC, which has seen the most cases of COVID-19 in our country, and it is a very strange and sad place to be right now.
Here’s an excerpt of the article:
Women Who Wow: Brandie Knox
I started the Women Who Wow series to coincide with Women’s History Month, but since news related to COVID-19 has consumed us, I’ve decided to continue running the series throughout the year, because there are just too many amazing women to fit into one month.
One of those amazing women is New York-based Brandie Knox, the principal and creative director of Knox Design Strategy. I met Brandie several years ago through the Legal Marketing Association, and we hit it off right away. I admire her for her entrepreneurial spirit, her creativity and her kindness.
Learn more about Brandie and her career path.
Women Who Wow: Gia Altreche
I asked Orange County-based Gia Altreche to be part of the Women Who Wow series because she is a leader in the legal marketing industry and an advocate for the profession and diversity & inclusion. Gia is the Director of Business Development and Marketing at Newmeyer & Dillion LLP and serves as co-chair of the Legal Marketing Association’s Diversity & Inclusion Committee and Shared Interest Group. Learn more about her below.
Why did you choose your profession?
Technically it chose me. It was during a post-college adventure to find a marriage between the legal field (initially intending to go to law school), and human communication (a love I found in my last year in college, which slightly derailed the initial focus) that ended with my resume miraculously in the hands of my now mentor, who was the Head of Business Development & Marketing at a major law firm in Phoenix, AZ. Talk about the power of networking!
At the time, I didn’t know legal marketing existed, but quickly learned it offered access to both play a role in advocating for my community, while continuing to study and nurture the role of human connection in business. Plus, being surrounded by the crème of the crop legal minds across a variety of industries, seeking out continuous education on the ever evolving role and how I could support their efforts was greatly satisfying.
