B&D seeks a proactive, organized Marketing Assistant to help plan and execute client seminars, webinars, and social events; track firm sponsorship/event deliverables and follow-ups/outcomes; maintain the firm’s InterAction client relationship management database; use Vuture email marketing/event management software; and provide general marketing and business development assistance (including, for example, website updates and assistance with news alert production).

The Marketing Assistant primarily supports B&D’s Senior Marketing & Events Coordinator and ultimately reports to the firm’s Director of Business Development & Marketing Operations. This role has high visibility within the firm, particularly with the firm’s lawyers, and substantial interaction with external contacts. The position has firm-wide responsibility and may be located in any city in which the firm has an office, with a preference for Washington, DC.

This position is a great opportunity for an eager, aspiring legal marketer to learn, quickly build their skillset, and develop in a professional environment.

Position Details and Responsibilities

Events:

Event support includes researching venues, preparing and sending invitations, posting event details on B&D’s website, tracking event attendance and corresponding with attendees, preparing event materials (e.g., PowerPoint slides, attendee folders, and nametags), maintaining an inventory of giveaway items, making A/V arrangements, providing day-of support, and assisting with event follow-up.

Events include conferences (both firm-hosted and those with firm participation or sponsorship), tradeshows, roundtables, social and sporting events, and increasingly, webinars. A constant stream of events requires dealing with overlapping deadlines and deliverables, adhering to effective internal processes, and managing events both remotely and in-person (eventually, once safe).

InterAction:

The InterAction component requires daily attention to database changes and a broader perspective on how the firm can better use the database in support of its client relationships. This includes implementing effective processes for tracking/updating contacts and activities and communicating these to firm users, overseeing data quality and maintenance, issue-spotting/troubleshooting, analytics, and working with the firm’s Information Technology Department to enhance the overall utility of InterAction to the firm.

Vuture:

The Vuture component involves keeping apprised of software updates and best practices, creating and improving email marketing templates, and maximizing the software’s data analytics capabilities.

General Marketing Support:

The Assistant also provides general support/assistance/backup to lawyers and the Marketing team firm-wide on marketing communications and collateral, website and social media, PR, news alerts and other thought leadership, business development/pitches, and other tasks as assigned.
