What the firms you watch did this week.
Four markets, one a night. Every item ends with why it matters to BD.
The receipts.
Law firms first. Then the agency years that taught me how buyers decide.

about, bryan canning
Built in agencies.Proven in law firms.
I spent the first half of my career in agencies, then as Global Creative Director for BlackBerry. The second half has been inside law firms: FMC Law (now Dentons), Miller Thomson, and today Bennett Jones, where I lead marketing, communications and digital channels.
The job hasn’t changed: find what makes a firm worth hiring, then prove it, down to the six-minute increment.

Meet Blue. He’s never billed an hour.
Every job starts with one question: what does success look like for the firm?
Everything after is measured against the answer, down to the six-minute increment. Blue checks.
Got a firm problem that looks unsolvable?
The next six minutes are on me.
I reply. Blue doesn’t.
