We had the pleasure of joining more than 3,500 attendees at the 75th Annual Florida Bar Convention in Boca Ratón.

We prioritized attending informative meetings, supporting client presentations, producing impactful video content, and connecting with familiar faces and new peers alike. The key takeaway? The legal industry is evolving faster than ever, with marketing, communications, and digital strategy essential drivers in that transformation. Here are our top takeaways from the event:

(I should note: we are still an agency that supports a myriad of clients. So, while we did take occasional breaks to keep up with our workloads, we stayed as organized a...
