Law Firm Technology Launch Experiences

The LMA Technology Committee seeks input from in-house law firm marketers for a “Lessons from the trenches” white paper that will become a resource for members to review as they take on the task of researching and launching a new marketing technology product. We are looking to share your experiences – what went right, what went wrong – that your firm’s internal marketing department discovered during the process.

In-house law firm marketers ONLY: Please take a few moments to respond to these 5 questions. We appreciate your thoughtful feedback and comments. While we greatly value our service provider members, this survey is limited to in-house legal marketers.

Do NOT name vendors or branded product names, this is only about the internal experience the marketing department had launching the product, not the product itself.

We have identified some common marketing technology products that we know any marketing department will launch in any given year:

· Website overhaul (bios, photos, PGDs, video)
· Blog
· CRM
· Proposal generator
· Experience database
· App
· Internet/Extranet
· Event Management Software
· Other
