I *may* have posted about this recognition a *few* times. But we are rightly proud! (Sorry. Not sorry.) As you might remember that, in June at The International Management Excellence Awards, the Managing Partners Forum named Clark Hill Law as the winner of the Best Marketing Campaign award for our new #SimplySmarter brand. Read more: https://www.clarkhill.com/news-events/news/managing-partners-forum-selects-clark-hill-for-best-marketing-campaign-award/ Here are screen grabs of the published summary of the various awards together with comments from the judging panel. The judges noted (page 15) that “Clark Hill was a clear winner in this category, with its Simply Smarter rebrand and market engagement campaign standing head and shoulders above the rest. This campaign showed clear strategic understanding and deployment of brand as the identity and DNA of the firm’s people”. @clarkhilllaw @susan.ahern.522 #lmamkt #legalmarketing #marketing #branding (at Clark Hill Law) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkoxxrOvorZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I hope at least once in everyone’s career they get to have a boss like this. It looks like we are about to launch into a duet of “Islands in the Stream.” But actually this was at the end of our #simplytogether22 @clarkhilllaw firm retreat. Susan told me how much she appreciated my contributions, how meaningful they were, and how important I was to her and to our work family. I said I felt the same about her. There may have been tears (mine … natch). It’s a rare privilege to work with someone, let alone an organization, that celebrates you for your authentic self, letting you shine in ways meaningful to you. I have that at Clark Hill. Susan has encouraged and inspired me to be myself fully at all times, to center my talents around empathy and grace and compassion, to leverage the strategic “pause,” and to work harder and smarter than I ever have in my life. She’s elevated me and my work in ways I’d never thought possible. She’s been my ally and my advocate, and she’s helped me discover a higher standard for what I do. Ask for more in life. You deserve it. And one day you’ll find you have the good fortune to have a Susan in your life too. Thank you to my beloved colleague Maram, an epitome of intelligence and wit and kindness, for snapping this moment for posterity. P.S. I think that “encore” behind us is prescient and apropos after this amazing event. #simplysmarter @susan.ahern.522 (at Resorts World Las Vegas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgZ-EKQPNIa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Bradford Hughes is a freaking rock star. I wore this jacket on stage earlier tonight for our retreat gala dinner and told anyone who wanted it to make a contribution to Ronald McDonald House Charities Ann Arbor and it was theirs. He gave me 1000 bucks. I may be crying. Sorry, Ashley Thomas Kisner and Diana Bearden. I’ll send you the Amazon link. 😂 #simplytogether22 #simplysmarter - I LOVE this firm: Clark Hill Law @clarkhilllaw @rmhc @rmhcannarbor (at Resorts World Las Vegas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgXYFYXvsQA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Fab, fun-filled, info-packed afternoon at our #simplytogether22 Clark Hill Law retreat. We are a mighty crew! Presentations on our forward-momentum, #DEI, and authentic leadership from John Hensien , Kevin Demorest , David Kitner , ALAS , Kathy Sullivan , Linda Watson , and Chris DeSantis. And the speed networking was such a great affirmation of community (apologies to those in my first facilitated room - and mastermind Megan McKeon - for getting “creative” with the instructions 😅). #simplysmarter @clarkhilllaw @meganmmckeon (at Resorts World Las Vegas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgXXw6xP4fu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
