    With endless amounts of stimuli constantly grabbing for our attention, convincing audiences to read complex technical information can be a hard sell. As Kleinschmidt’s marketing and communications director, GinaRenee Autrey pursues opportunities where her engineers can blend creativity and technical expertise. Their goal isn’t to merely distribute information, but rather to inspire audiences to want to learn. In this episode, GinaRenee discusses how engineering firms can think outside the box to captivate their audiences’ attention, including sharing Kleinschmidt’s recent success with a Shakespeare-inspired article on dam decommissioning. She also reflects on the importance of marketing engineering firms by offering clients easy-to-understand solutions to their complex problems. Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn What trends are influencing how engineering firms market their services How prioritizing a creative execution has enhanced Kleinschmidt’s approach to thought leadership What B2B buyers care about when choosing an engineering partner and how to align your marketing strategy to meet their needs How to use webinars to position employees and firms as experts in niche engineering topics How Kleinschmidt’s marketing team supports and trains its engineers to become better speakers, even when they’re nervous about appearing in front of crowds Why you should incentivize your field teams to take pictures and videos at jobsites About our featured guest GinaRenee Autrey is a seasoned marketing maestro with over 24 years of curating and executing comprehensive marketing strategies to elevate business goals.

  • Why your attorneys should feel like part of the marketing team
    2024/07/24

    On paper, Julia Thomas is a one-woman band as Dean Mead’s marketing director. But in reality, she works in tandem with more than 100 unofficial marketers. Yep — attorneys and staff have a crucial supporting role to play as advocates for their firm and its brand, and Julia has made it her mission to empower them.

    In this episode of Spill the Ink, Julia discusses how her approach to legal marketing creates a culture of shared responsibility and reveals what she’s learned about helping busy attorneys stay engaged with community-focused initiatives. And with 20 years of experience in global, national, regional and local marketing roles across the legal, accounting and construction sectors, she’s learned a thing or two.

    Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn
    • Why Dean Mead’s marketing director Julia Thomas views all attorneys and staff as unofficial marketers

    • About Florida-based Dean Mead, a commercial law firm founded in 1980

    • What a 20-year career in global, national, regional and local marketing roles in various industries has taught Julia about using internal communications to support external communications — and surviving debates with attorneys

    • How law firms can approach strategic partnerships in the local community and engage attorneys to participate

    • Julia’s advice to busy legal professionals pursuing pro bono and community work

    • Why thought leadership doesn’t necessarily mean writing a long, in-depth article (and, in fact, that’s often less effective)

    • The impact of reputable law firm awards and rankings in building credibility with prospects

    About our featured guest

    Julia Thomas is Dean Mead’s director of marketing and business development, based in Orlando, Florida. With 20 years of experience designing, implementing and directing initiatives that support consistent internal and external communications, Julia brings a thorough understanding of marketing and business development to the firm. Leveraging her experience serving Fortune 100, national and regional companies, she is the chief marketing strategist for Dean Mead and each of its offices, departments and industry teams.
