somagnews | February 03, 2020

Facebook, the world’s largest social media platform, released its first commercial in 2020 during the Super Bowl. The 60-second ad featuring Sylvester Stallone and Chris Rock is said to cost about $ 11.2 million. The Super Bowl, the championship challenge of the American Football League (NFL), hosted interesting advertisements. Facebook, one of the companies that released its new advertisement during the giant organization, brought together famous actor Sylvester Stallone and beloved comedian Chris Rock for his campaign that emphasizes the diversity on the platform. The Super Bowl commercial of the US social media giant is part of the “More Together” campaign, which encourages Facebook users to find various interests through groups on the platform. But what makes the ad interesting is not the message it gives, but its cost.

Ever since the early 1970s, when the California Supreme Court ruled in favor of Jacoby and Meyers’ right to promote their business, advertising in the legal profession has become an accepted practice. The US Supreme Court’s extension of this right to all states in 1977 made the practice of self-promotion for lawyers a universal one.

Inevitably, however, with the advent of the internet and the proliferation of digital technology, the legal marketing landscape has changed over the last few years. Whilst of course, relying on word of mouth and referrals are still some of the most popular ways of attracting new clients, if you’re not taking advantage of powerful and modern marketing methods, tools and platforms, it could mean your law firm is losing clients and revenue to better-equipped competitors.
