Challenge
Although over one hundred years old, the law firm Bernkopf Goodman held a tiny market share and had extremely limited name recognition.

Before & After
Drag the below divider right for “before” and left for “after”
The existing marketing materials were inconsistently branded and haphazard. The website was generic and lacked any of the firm’s unique personality.
The new website messaging and visual animation strengthens the firm’s “Straight Talk” theme and reinforces the ad campaign for consistent branding.
Results
- Within a year of the campaign launch, the firm saw a 10% increase in new business development, a 30% increase in request for proposals, and a 45% increase in request for information or meetings.
