THE IMPACT OF VIDEO FIRST SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING · Law firm

Sebald, Hackwelder & Knox

Sebald, Hackwelder & Knox is an Erie law firm that had barely used social media. In all of last year, they posted 7 times. They hired us to start July 1st with a simple brief: build a video-first presence from close to nothing.

We shot for the first time in late June. Since then it has been a long-form anchor plus two shorts a week, including a new series, Lawyer on the Street, where partner Eric Hackwelder stops Erie locals to test how well they actually know the law.

They have since expanded the engagement well beyond social, adding SEO, Google Ads, lead generation, and a podcast.

The work

Video-first social from the ground up: a long-form anchor a month, two shorts a week, the Lawyer on the Street series, and daily posts across every profile.
