Adding to your skillset not your headcount
We focus our efforts on providing you with better marketing than you currently have.
A true specialist in barrister marketing
Since our establishment in 2011, Bar Marketing has been the leading barrister marketing consultancy supplying marketing 'on-demand' for the Bar.
We work with sets of all sizes from small regional sets to magic-circle sets. Our thorough knowledge of the Bar and its idiosyncrasies enables us provide the marketing services chambers and individual members need on a basis to suit their needs. Our marketing 'on-demand' services include; marketing planning, strategy, event and business development; directory submissions, communications, awards submissions, graphic design to name but a few.
We are conscious that your chambers needs to keep overheads to a minimum in order to retain your competitive advantage over law firms and ABSs. We understand that chambers need to add to their marketing skillsets without necessarily adding to their headcounts. After all why would you pay someone for the quieter summer months if you don’t have to?
Therefore, we offer our marketing 'on-demand', that way you only pay for what you use.
