The host uses this win as a springboard to discuss the tangible results digital marketing can yield for law firms, especially in the high-net-worth segment. The conversation challenges common assumptions about digital advertising's limitations and underscores the importance of strategic, results-driven marketing oversight.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

- Their client, specializing in ultra-high-net-worth family law and divorce, landed a $100 million client.

2. Importance of Regular, Strategic Result Reviews

[00:29]

Law firms should ensure their marketing agencies facilitate regular, meaningful review calls focused on real business outcomes, not just vanity metrics.
The host stresses:
- Results to focus on: number of leads, conversion into clients, and specifically, the right type of clients.
- Many agencies emphasize superficial KPIs (search rankings, traffic) rather than actual new client acquisition.
Quote:
- “Does your marketing agency have a regularly scheduled call where you guys go over results together? And when I talk about results, I’m talking about the results that actually matter to you... are they turning into the right types of clients?”

3. Busting Myths: Digital Ads Attract High-Net-Worth Clients

[00:58]

The episode takes on a common misconception: elite law clients cannot be reached through digital or social media ads.
The host counters this with real case data, repeating that major wins for law firms have been accomplished using Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn ad campaigns.
- The $100M client is highlighted as proof.
The message: Don’t self-limit—digital channels can and do attract premier clientele.
Quote:
- “A lot of lawyers have... they really don’t think you can find high net worth clients through digital advertising and particularly social media advertising. And you know, we have seen over and over and over again that this is not the case.”
  — Host (A), [01:08]
- "Don’t limit yourself, right? It is possible, I’m telling you, it is possible to get high net worth clients through advertising, on Instagram, on Facebook, on LinkedIn.”

So our team just had a strategy call with a client of ours, a family law attorney that specializes in ultra high net worth family law and divorce specifically. And this client was really excited to tell us that they just got a brand new client last week, this client, $100 million net worth, and came to them through an Instagram ad campaign that we are, that we built and that, that we manage. And so I'm sharing that with you for a couple of reasons. One, it's just fun to celebrate success, right? This is one why we do what we do. But also a couple of questions for you. Does your marketing agency have a regularly scheduled call where you guys go over results together? And when I talk about results, I'm talking about the results that actually matter to you, right? Not just like search engine rankings or traffic numbers, but how many leads are you generating and are they turning into clients and are they turning into the right types of clients? And if you're not having those conversations, you, you should be. So that's kind of number one and then number two, you know, a lot of lawyers have, I've heard this, you know, in plenty of conversations with lawyers. They really don't think you can find high net worth clients through digital advertising and particularly social media advertising. And you know, we have seen over and over and over again that this is not the case. You know, again, just last week this client got a $100 million net worth family law client. And we have seen it over and over again. And so, you know, don't limit yourself, right? It is possible, I'm telling you, it is possible to get high net worth clients through advertising, on Instagram, on Facebook, on LinkedIn.
