Video Marketing Tips for Lawyers and Law Firms

Video clips – from YouTube videos to Tik Tok reels – have become a popular part of digital marketing strategy for businesses of all types.

Planning ahead is important. Determine what topics you want to address and get to work creating relevant, interesting and – dare we say it – fun videos!

It doesn’t even have to be a physical location; animation is a viable option for attorney videos if you are willing to invest in an animation partner.

Use a High Quality Camera
