Womble Bond Dickinson engaged A.wordsmith to lead content development on a corporate recruitment marketing toolkit. This included crafting an anchor narrative to empower lawyers and HR professionals alike with recruit-ready materials needed to tell Womble’s story and how its purpose-driven mission, people-first culture and core values set it apart from other firms in the market. A.wordsmith led a series of interviews with senior leaders, partners and associates to extract insights, experiences and perspectives on the firm’s rich history, differentiating areas of expertise and international footprint. A.wordsmith leveraged these conversations to develop an inspirational, differentiated and powerful narrative through the recruitment lens. Once complete, we ensured input from key stakeholders was incorporated, and the most impactful aspects of the firm were allowed to shine.
