Social campaigns and press, in the firm’s own voice
How the Creative Studio turns one thing a firm wants to announce into a researched, image-paired, per-platform campaign and a press sheet, staged for the attorney and never sent on its own.
What a campaign actually is here
A campaign is not a single post. It is the whole announcement, dressed for every place it is meant to land. A CLE the practice is teaching, a panel on indigent-defense caseloads, a community know-your-rights night, a new associate: one piece of firm news, turned into the social posts, the images, the press release, and the list of where each piece goes. The Creative Studio assembles that set in one place, on the same login as the Case Board and the Evidence Orchestrator, so the practice that runs its matters here runs its voice here too.
The reason it exists is plain. A defense lawyer spends the week reading discovery and standing announcements, and the website goes stale while the work gets done. The Studio carries the voice when the lawyer cannot, by drafting the first version of the campaign from facts the firm provides, so the attorney is editing a draft rather than starting at a blank page on a Sunday night.
Research: it starts from your facts, not the open web
The campaign begins with what the firm gives it. Speak the announcement, type it, or upload the flyer or the CLE agenda, and the Studio reads what you handed it. A panel has a date, a venue, a host, and a registration link, and the Studio pulls those facts forward and holds them as the source of truth for everything it drafts next. Nothing is invented. If a detail is missing, the Studio asks for it rather than filling the gap with something that was never true.
That discipline is not a nicety, it is the compliance posture. A Texas lawyer’s advertising answers to the Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct, 7.01 through 7.06, and the surest way to stay inside them is to draft only from facts the firm stands behind. The facts you provide are the facts that ship.
Assets to copy: the set comes together in the firm’s register
Once the facts are settled, the Studio builds the images and writes the words. The images are made for where they will live, a square card for the feed, a vertical frame for stories, a wider banner for the press sheet, each carrying the firm’s palette and the advertising identity block the rules require, so what comes out is dressed for a lawyer’s account and not a generic stock graphic. The copy is written per destination: a short plain post for the feed, a longer caption where the platform allows it, and a press release in the inverted-pyramid form a newsroom expects, with the who, what, when, and where up top and the firm’s contact line at the bottom.
Every draft is checked against the advertising rules as it is written. No guaranteed outcomes, no “charges dropped” language, no comparative or superlative claims, the required identity and contact information present. The copy arrives in the firm’s voice with its compliance already accounted for, ready for a lawyer to read rather than a machine’s idea of what a law firm sounds like.
The press sheet, assembled and held at the desk
The Studio gathers the whole campaign into one press sheet: the release, the image set, the platform posts, and the list of where each piece is meant to go. Then it stops. The sheet sits in the firm’s queue marked awaiting approval, and that pause is the boundary the system does not cross. The Creative Studio may research, draft, prepare the images, and assemble the sheet. It may not post, email, or publish until two things are recorded: the attorney’s approval, and the State Bar advertising-review step a lawyer’s marketing requires.
That is the through-line of every working surface on this machine. The Studio readies the work three different ways at once, the social, the image, the press, and the lawyer is the one who decides it is ready to be heard. The machine builds the campaign. The attorney, and the Bar process, clear it for the door.
The whole machine
Ten logins down to two
One subscription stands in for the stack a defense firm usually stitches together, so the practice runs on two things it already trusts: Google Workspace, where the files and matters live, and The IMC Machine, where the matter runs. LawPay and QuickBooks, the money rail, stay where they are, fed by the Machine. Casework, evidence, motions, vouchers, marketing, and events, in one place.
San Antonio and Bexar County. The Machine is built for here first. For another city, county, or region, the build-out is custom and carries its own setup fee.
