mmadigital, the online marketing agency for the legal sector, has made another key hire to meet increased demand for its Pay Per Click (PPC) campaign services from law firms.
Richard Higham joins the fast-growing team as Senior PPC manager from global media agency Mediacom, where he worked on various high-profile PPC accounts for brand names including Volkswagen, Procter & Gamble and Injury Lawyers4U.
Previously, Richard was a marketing executive at MPH Solicitors and prior to this worked at Berrymans Lace Mawer. He is also currently studying for a law degree with the Open University.
Richard will help mmadigital’s clients create intelligent and focused PPC campaigns, allowing them to place advertisements on the social media pages of targeted audiences and within specific results returned by search engines like Google.
Dez Derry, CEO, mmadigital says: “The timing for Richard’s arrival is perfect as we continue to land high-value PPC accounts from law firms on a monthly basis. As our PPC manager Richard joins our lead generation team in helping clients reach a wider audience via search engine results and social media platforms. His strong legal background further strengthens mmadigital’s reputation as the ‘go-to agency’ for modern law firms looking to capitalise on the opportunities digital marketing gives them.”
Richard Higham adds: “Having worked within the ranks of two well known and successful law firms I understand fully the need to grab digital marketing opportunities with both hands. Law firms need to invest in successful lead generation by putting themselves in front of future clients with intelligent online PPC campaigns, I’m looking forward to helping mmadigital’s clients achieve just that.”

Why your firm should support working mothers to the hilt

If you are going to balance the demands of work and childcare, and stay sane, you need to adapt, and with any luck your firm will adapt with you. In doing so you will both win, and your respective productivity will soar. When I had my son, I realised just how lucky I was. Not only did I have the incredible support of my, and my husband’s, family through this life-changing time, but I had a firm that offered me complete flexibility and control over my return to business life.
