Ethics in Professional Services Marketing

The professional services fields of accounting, healthcare, and law are regulated by ethical rules that govern marketing efforts. Advertising or marketing on behalf of a lawyer, doctor, or accountant can become a confusing maze with serious consequences. When planning a marketing strategy, especially including social media, marketers and those that employ them must remain focused on and aware of any and all applicable ethical rules. A panel of industry professionals made from each category will level the playing field and give you the map to success in navigating the ethics in professional services marketing.

Analytics & ROI: Tracking Successful Marketing Campaigns

You built a new website; you placed an ad in the Houston Press; you even started tweeting, but is it working? Stacey will lead a workshop on what metrics businesses should use to measure the return on their marketing expenditures, including acquisition cost per lead, increase of reach and/or online influence, and estimated income from acquired customers. Workplace metrics, including marketing analytics, must be employed to effectively quantify fiscal success and/or to identify and change strategies when something is not working before you waste more money.
