Welcome to episode 273 of the Grow Your Law Firm podcast, hosted by Ken Hardison. In this episode, Ken sits down with Tanner Jones, Vice President of Business Development at Consultweb and Matt Smyers, Senior Digital Advertising Advisor at Consultweb. Both Tanner and Matt are cohosts of the LAWsome Podcast. 

Tanner leads business development at Consultwebs, helping law firms achieve their digital marketing goals. He earned a B.S. in Business Administration with a focus on Management from Berea College in 2008 and joined Consultwebs in 2009. With over a decade of experience, he specializes in case-driving online marketing strategies for law firms.

Tanner was drawn to Consultwebs for its leadership in legal marketing, quoting Wayne Gretzky’s philosophy: “Skate to where the puck is going, not where it has been.” He values the company’s focused approach, believing it drives better results and scalability. Tanner credits Consultwebs’ success to its strong team, which includes licensed attorney writers, consultants, designers, programmers, and marketers.

A native of Waynesville, North Carolina, Tanner enjoys outdoor activities like camping, hiking, fishing, hunting, and golfing, though his focus is now on avoiding injuries.

Matt Smyers, a non-practicing attorney, has over 10 years of experience in legal marketing and serves as a Senior Digital Advertising Advisor at Consultwebs. He helps law firms execute digital ad campaigns through platforms like Google Adwords, Facebook, Bing, and Yahoo.

Matt emphasizes that law firm marketing requires specific skills and a deep understanding of the legal industry, which is why Consultwebs’ commitment to marketing exclusively for law firms allows it to deliver strong results.
