ABOUT ALDER IP
Alder IP is a boutique law firm of intellectual property (IP) and trademark attorneys based in Sydney.
They pride themselves on their no-nonsense approach, offering individuals and organisations a fixed quote price on each stage
of the IP commercialisation process.
As specialists in their field, the Alder IP team is able to bring a wealth of experience and expertise to each case.
The firm is headed up by Anthony Alder, who is also a board member of the Australian Professional Standards Board for
Trademark and Patent Attorneys.
Like any successful law firm. Alder IP has repeat clients and wins business through word of mouth, but they also wanted to drive
leads through their website.
With no in-house marketing resource, they lacked the time and capacity to produce regular content and the strategy to use it to
find potential clients.

Alder IP uses its website to demonstrate its expertise to clients and potential clients. It features bios of Anthony and his team,
testimonials from clients and landing pages answering some of the common questions about IP and trademark law. Our priority
since we started working with Alder IP has been to help them generate more leads, primarily through their free consultation and
through gated downloads.

Alder IP is a 4-person law firm with a limited marketing budget, so since we first started working together they’ve been on one of
our subscriptions specifically designed for small businesses.
While small businesses are on smaller deals, they still benefit from the flexibility of our transferable unit pricing and they get access
to the same specialist Strategy, Creation and Amplify teams.
Alder IP has benefited from our ability to produce regular, on-brief editorial content, primarily for their blog. We also set up some
downloadable assets behind lead forms to help capture names, email addresses and other useful information from more of their
website visitors.

STANDARD EDITORIAL & GRAPHIC DESIGN

Alder IP is a small firm with a limited marketing budget. As such our Strategy Team started by focussing on
populating the blog with regular updates using our Standard Editorial product. Standard Editorial is
intended for simpler, higher volume editorial strategies. Using a combination of newsjacking and evergreen
content we were able to quickly start growing the Alder IP blog, expanding the site’s organic search
footprint.
Getting more people on to the site and giving them something fresh and engaging to read won’t pay the
bills. So, our Strategy Team enlisted our Graphic Designers to create some customised calls-to-action (CTAs)
for the site to promote Alder IP’s downloadable content. Our flexible unit pricing model meant that we could
do this design work without Alder IP incurring any additional costs.

Once we had some compelling and professionally-designed CTAs we wanted to put the downloads behind a
lead form. Alder IP was offering useful and helpful information with its downloads, but missing an
opportunity to turn them into leads. More than two years later, these downloads continue to provide Alder IP
with regular new business leads.
Like a lot of our small business clients, Alder IP had no specific marketing resource in house. This made the
support our dedicated Content Strategist has been able to provide especially useful. Alder IP’s Content
Strategist has run point on their digital strategy, helping them drive more organic search to the site and use
gated downloads to generate leads. They have also handled the liaison with our creative teams and
produced regular performance reports.
