Digital Marketing for JMW Solicitors

JMW Case Study

In addition to collaborating on technical projects such as the website, I-COM work with JMW as an extension of their internal marketing department. We work daily with the JMW marketing team on conversion rate optimisation, improving site content, and running multiple integrated content marketing campaigns across departments.

These campaigns utilise our copywriting services in the provision of service pages, articles, FAQ pages, blog posts, press releases, and in the creation of slideshares, infographics, factsheets, and video and animation.

In addition to organic marketing and outreach, I-COM also supports JMW on paid promotion through PPC and Social Media Marketing.

The Results

JMW Solicitors

After consistent exponential growth over the past 10 years, following the execution of a  fully integrated digital marketing strategy, revenue through the website has broken the previous record for the past 5 years.

This growth has enabled JMW to continue to expand its internal marketing team, putting more effort into its social media activity and developing great content for the website, which, in turn, continues to drive growth for the business.

PR and outreach work has also raised the profile of the law firm by securing coverage of JMW, with links, in publications ranging from national and local newspapers, niche industry publications, forums, directories and peer-to-peer websites.
