Welcome to episode 355 of Grow Your Law Firm, hosted by Ken Hardison. In this episode, Ken welcomes back Eric Morgan, President & CEO of Roux Advertising. Eric shares why law firms competing against larger, better-funded firms need to get more intentional about exactly who they are trying to reach instead of attempting to market to everyone.

The conversation focuses on identifying the clients and case types a firm genuinely wants, building a niche around those opportunities, and developing marketing that speaks directly to that audience. Eric explains how specialization can make a firm more memorable, improve marketing efficiency, create repeatable operational processes, and position attorneys as the go-to experts in a particular area. Ken and Eric also discuss AI search, audience sizing, calculated risk, and why execution matters more than searching for the next marketing silver bullet.
