Good2BSocial’s “Marketing On The Record” podcast with host Keith Edwards: “Your Logo Is Not Your Brand and Other Truths From Roy Sexton”

Your brand is more than a logo.

Some law firms treat branding as a visual exercise, a polished logo, a sleek website, the right color palette. Those are all just signifiers. Your real brand is how clients experience your attorneys, how they’re treated, and how well they’re served.

In episode three of Marketing on the Record, hosted by Good2bSocial’s Keith Edwards, Roy Sexton, CMO at Vedder in Chicago, unpacks the gap that keeps firms from building brands that actually resonate.

Key takeaways:

🚩 Look past the visuals: A logo is a flag, not a brand, clients remember how you treat them not your color palette.

🤝 Stop compartmentalizing marketing: Branding isn’t the team that “makes things pretty.” It exists in every client interaction.

📖 Lead with story: The narrative you tell around your firm shapes how clients connect with it.

The firms that stand out understand that their brand is built through experience, not decoration.

In this episode of The LeXFactor, a lawfully good podcast, Lexicon Brand Manager Lauren Hoffmann and CIO Brad Paubel are joined by Roy Sexton, Director of Marketing, Clark Hill, in discussing how legal and professional services have unique challenges where branding and marketing are concerned – what really is of interest to clients vs. what do practitioners believe has value?

Quote: “We are different! We want to stand out! Wait, what are other firms doing? Maybe we should just do that.”

Law firms continue to see the expansion of “client experience” roles in forward thinking organizations. And where it’s long been said that brand is more than a logo, but how we sell and exemplify culture and experience, how do we do that these days and how do you help internal stakeholders realize that football games and fancy dinners aren’t really helping anymore?
