Cramer, a digital marketing and event solutions agency, announced today that the company has completed the reintroduction of Foley Hoag’s web site, www.foleyhoag.com. The new site supplements Foley Hoag’s recently launched identity and advertising campaign, featuring the tagline “Driving Business Advantage.” The cross-media campaign expands the firm’s brand by highlighting Foley Hoag’s expertise in a number of key legal practice areas including dispute resolution and intellectual property, as well as depth in the life sciences and technology industries.

SUMMARY

Law firm Foley Hoag LLP has introduced an ambitious new identity and advertising campaign, highlighting its leading dispute resolution and intellectual property practices and its depth in life sciences and technology. Featuring the tagline “Driving Business Advantage,” Foley Hoag’s new platform is designed to bypass conventional law firm messaging to address client demands from their legal advisors for fresh thinking and a keen understanding of client business needs.

The creative centerpiece of the campaign is a series of ads featuring images by noted fashion photographer Rodney Smith, whose work has appeared in New York Magazine and The New York Times Magazine. Instead of touting case wins or deals completed, the ads – comprised of arresting black-and-white images of formally dressed men and women in unlikely settings – are meant to provoke business people to stop and consider how they view big-picture challenges and plot their paths to success.

SUMMARY

Chambers and Partners, a leading U.K.-based research and publishing company, has again included Foley Hoag and its individual lawyers in its popular Chambers USA: The Client's Guide. This year, eleven practice areas and 22 lawyers are represented.
