Words Tell. Stories Sell: How Lawyers Build a Magnetic Brand | Kia Arian

from Life Beyond the Briefs · host Brian Glass

Most lawyers think “brand” means a logo, a slogan, or some clever line about fighting for justice.Kia Arian has a different take. In this GLM Summit talk, she starts with a story about being jealous of a squirrel and ends by showing you why your best marketing is not a gimmick. It is the part of you that has been there the whole time. Your story. Kia breaks down why legal marketing keeps sounding the same, why reviews are not a brand, and why “experienced and compassionate” is basically invisible at this point. Then she walks through real examples of how lawyers uncovered a message that made the right people say, “Yep. That’s my lawyer.” You will also hear how to stop trying to manufacture momentum in your marketing and instead build a message that feels true, clear, and easy to repeat. The kind that attracts the right-fit clients and quietly repels the tire kickers. If you want the GLM Summit notes Brian mentions, you can grab them at glmsummitnotes.comConnect with Kia:LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/kiaarianCompany: www.zinemarketing.comFacebook: www.facebook.com/zinegraphicsX (Twitter): twitter.com/kiaarian_____________________________________Brian Glass is a nationally recognized personal injury lawyer in Fairfax, Virginia.  He is passionate about living a life of his own design and looking for answers to solutions outside of the legal field.  This podcast is his effort to share that passion with others.Want to connect with Brian?Follow Brian on Instagram: @thebrianglassConnect on LinkedIn
