Foley Hoag Launches New Identity and Integrated Marketing Campaign - Roll-out includes series of ads to run in Wall Street Journal, Fortune, Money, Boston Globe, Forbes.com; ads feature images by fashion photographer Rodney Smith, and tagline “Driving Business Advantage” Sep 24, 2007 Send to a Coleague

Boston, MA - September 24, 2007

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.
