Practice Pointer: Debunking four misconceptions about thought leadership ghostwriting

Episode Summary

In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) debunks the following four common misconceptions attorneys, executives at companies that serve the legal industry, and their marketing and business development colleagues have about working with thought leadership ghostwriters. 1. When an attorney or a legal industry executive works with a thought leadership ghostwriter, the material produced will not reflect the attorney's or the executive's ideas—it will reflect the ghostwriter's ideas. 2. When attorneys or legal industry executives work with a ghostwriter, they're not in control of the process. 3. It's rare for professionals to use ghostwriters. 4. Attorneys and legal industry executives don't need ghostwriters because they're already writing thought leadership materials as part of their ongoing marketing, business development, and personal branding efforts.
