the story of stage. changing the script for business development and marketing.
Think of us as avocado toast…or bourbon-infused bacon…or any collection of ingredients combined to create something delicious and complimentary. Our collaboration originated in 2017 in Big Law. With 5+ years as a unified team and decades (over 35 years combined to be exact) of collective professional services, business development, and marketing experience, each of us brings complementary attributes via stage.
stage is a women-owned legal marketing and business development firm specializing in coaching and actionable strategies to boost empathy, revenue, and visibility for lawyers, with a particular focus on women. We love working with lawyers to turn touchpoints into “trust points.”
We believe stage stands out as one of the pioneering in-house legal marketing teams to transition from Big Law and launch an independent venture as a united team. We stay true to our ethos by providing free business development coaching to support working lawyers before/after parental leave.
Our love of working together shines through for all who collaborate with us. We bring experience from Big Law + Big Four + investment banking. We have worked side-by-side with lawyers at all levels, bringing together practice groups, collaborating with professional/talent development teams, and deepening client relationships and revenue ranging from start-ups to Fortune 500.
Our portfolio spans specific legal projects or firm-wide implementation with a co-sourced model:
1:1 lawyer and team coaching to guide and support growth
Activation of current legal, industry, and client news
Authentic networking
Creative client and sector-based programming
