Digital Engagement
D.C. Bar
MY ROLE
Digital Strategist
BACKGROUND
The D.C. Bar is one of the largest unified bar associations in the U.S., serving over 118,000 attorneys in and beyond the District of Columbia. With such a widespread membership, a growing number of millennials and Gen Z joining the legal profession, a organizational mission to foster access to justice, and an affinity partner marketing portfolio to maintain and ideally expand, the Marketing team recognized the importance of strengthening digital engagement.
I developed a strategic overview for a paid social media campaign to help grow our social media following by communicating the value of engaging with the Bar digitally. I also collaborated with Marketing team members to ensure that the creative was aligned with the visual identity of the D.C. Bar’s “Rise to the Profession” campaign. The first iteration of this paid campaign targeted existing members with the help of first-party data; in the strategic overview, I also proposed future campaigning targeted at members of the public.
