Need to Do More with Less? CRM Could Be the Key
Marketing teams have heard so many times: do more with less — and 2024 is no different. According to new research, in 2023 law firm marketing budgets shrank (see, Thomson Reuters: The Oracle's Temple: The State of the Global Legal Marketing & Business Development Profession) even though revenue grew by 4.6% (see, Thomson Reuters Q3 Report) — and yet the demands on the marketing department actually increased.

Add to the mix more competitors that now include an array of midsize law firms, boutique and specialty firms, accounting firms, new law companies and well-funded alternative legal services providers. All this means more pressure on the marketing department to differentiate their firm's brand and enable strategic, effective business development programs — but with less budget and staff.
