How Legal Marketers Can Harness the Power of AI

April 4, 2024

Though AI has been around for quite some time, it seems like only recently that it has been brought to the forefront, prompting curiosity about how Florida legal marketers can harness AI. There are many reasons to incorporate these online tools, but also a few disadvantages to consider.

The members of the Tampa Legal Marketing Association (LMA) recently gathered for a panel discussion on the pros and cons of AI and its usage. Panelists included practitioners from both the legal world as well as digital marketing companies, like BoardroomPR’s Director of Digital Marketing Mara Gordon, who was joined by digital marketing strategist Jessica Aries and Holland & Knight partner Todd Wooten.

The panelists provided an overview of the AI landscape, AI tools that legal marketers can utilize, as well as the specific ways to use these tools for personalized content creation. They also discussed the importance of prompting and using the correct wording and questions to get your desired result. Resources and ideas that were shared to learn how to write better prompts included:

This blog post on the prompting model.
This guide from Zapier, which includes directions for custom instructions.
Try uploading some of your own content and letting ChatGPT analyze it.
For those who work with audio files, Castmagic was recommended to create impactful assets from audio and video content.

While there are several reasons to try AI tools, the group learned that you must also be aware of the privacy and confidentiality considerations with entering information into these online databases. While these tools are still evolving, we were cautioned that the accuracy of the content can be low. Never rely 100% on AI output. While these tools are helpful, you still need a human influence and an editor.

As for the future, our panelists discussed how we might see much faster responses and the elimination of prompting altogether. No matter what your stance is on AI, it’s clear that it is not going away any time soon, so legal marketers must know how to use it.

let’s talk

We have seen terrific results through our partnership with BoardroomPR and their corporate culture has made it amazingly easy for every member of our team to engage them. BoardroomPR has put the “personal results” back in public relations.

The team at BoardroomPR is flexible, efficient and professional. What impresses me the most is that they have great understanding of our business, and are always proactive in searching out media opportunities in the publications that matter to us.

Boardroom communications generated tremendous news coverage for us nationally in newspapers, magazines and on television. They are a dedicated team of professionals who do whatever it takes to get the results we needed.

The Boardroom team is responsive, insightful, creative, and has a comprehensive knowledge of the RE industry.

The BoardroomPR team has played a critical role in helping us elevate the Bento brand and share the news of our statewide expansion through traditional media, social media and event planning. They worked closely with our marketing team and have been integral in creating awareness for our restaurant openings. They are a pleasure to work with.

Owner, Bento Asian Kitchen & Sushi

Keyes has partnered with BoardroomPR for over 7 years. We started with them to promote the rebranding of a 93-year-old brokerage that needed publicity as the largest family-owned brokerage in Florida. Don, Eric, and Daniel have been part of our team since then, bringing eyes to our company, leadership, realtors and thought leaders in the industry. Just over a year ago we added their social media management and video creation service, and Veronika has absolutely transformed our platforms. While we mainly use it for brand awareness and company engagement, all of those metrics are significantly up since we began with her and our Realtors actively now reach out to us to feature on our platforms and pages. Not bad for a company that’s pushing 100! I love everything about BoardroomPR and their team.

- Aaron Fisk

We have had a long relationship with BoardroomPR, and the agency consistently provides outstanding public relations and media results. Law firm marketing requires a special focus and the team at Boardroom understands this and delivers.

I am not sure where our non-profit would be without BoardroomPR, but I do know that with their great public relations services and guidance we are able to raise several million dollars in private funding every year! No South Florida charity or corporation should be without them!
