My friends at Law Firm Media Professional (LFMP) and Hellerman Baretz Communications have just released their second annual . How’s that for a title? The survey was sent to LFMP members only and 69 people responded. 85% of the professionals surveyed work in law firms, 6% work in outside PR/communications firms and 9% work of another capacity (freelancing, independent consulting, etc.).
Here is what I find interesting:
Social Media:
50% of firms have written policies regarding social media in place, the same as 2009
But 34% that don’t currently have a policy are working to develop one
Tracking Tools
92% of firms track social media to see what is being said about them, using technologies like:
Google Alerts, Cision, Burelles Luce
Social Media Training
52% of respondents’ firms haven’t had formal training on a social media platforms
38% trained on LinkedIn
23% trained on Twitter
18% trained on Facebook
8% trained on other topics, including blogs and social media reputation management
What’s Keeping Law Firms from Using Social Media?
29% firm policy and risk management 29% time 12% resistant management 8% lack of training 8% lack of ROI statistics 2% lack of technical support
The very good news from this report shows that salaries are going up, especially for those of us who work on the West Coast. Maybe the Left Coast is now the Right Coast to be doing PR for law firms.
