Findings from LinkedIn Influencers latest report
Tue, 05 Nov 2024 11:30 - 12:30
Venue: Online Only
In this interactive webinar, Simon Marshall of TBD Marketing will share the results of the latest LinkedIn Influencers report, including some averages of people at top 200 law firms, their leaders, independents and barristers.
He will also posit the idea that marketing had focused its firepower on the wrong thing for the past five years – looking to maximise outcomes from its company page when firms underperform individuals massively.
Data from their latest report will show how many firms now have influencers who outperform the firm, and how many lack any influencers at all and will share some ideas as to how to “win” in Q4 and get rankled, even if you only started posting this week.
Simon will also discuss mavericks, marketing and management and how they can, together, help whole firms to become social businesses.
A “top 5 findings” video will be available to all delegates post webinar

Venue: Central London
A SENIOR LEVEL PROGRAMME
IN PERSON ONLY
Women are continually underrepresented at partner level in firms of all sizes and research carried out by Client Talk has found that frequently women choose not to progress, often as a result of limiting beliefs and the unconscious impact of gender bias.
This senior level programme has, therefore, been especially designed for female leaders and aspiring leaders including associates and marketing & business development professionals.
The coaching sessions will be led by Claire Rason, a former lawyer and accredited coach and the programme will bring together a cohort of women who want to explore the future of their career in a different way.
It will consist of:
- 4 face-to-face peer group coaching sessions
- 1 individual coaching session
- The opportunity to shape the sessions based on what the cohort is struggling with most
- A focus on being authentic rather that changing for the system
PSMG is delighted to have been offered FIVE discounted places
