Recognising the limited marketing options for legal professionals, Lanna and Dan knew they’d be able to offer something bigger and better, tailored specifically to the unique needs of lawyers and law firm.

Dan tells us, “Our greatest challenge is merging the fast-paced digital and social marketing industry with the notoriously slow-paced legal landscape. As you can imagine, innovation and law don’t always go hand in hand. In our world, innovation doesn’t always mean the latest and greatest, because that’s often not applicable to our industry.
