Ambulance chaser law is a cutthroat business, there's a reason these guys spend on advertising and the high dollar firms don't. Annoying as they are, Morgan and Morgan's ad campaign has very likely given them a much higher name recognition than the other competing ambulance chasers, and did it for little extra cost - a billboard costs what a billboard costs, but a more effective ad is invaluable

As somebody who works tangentially in the ad business, the greatest (probably apocryphal) quote about advertisement comes from Philadelphia's own John Wanamaker. "Half of what I spend on advertisement is wasted. Problem is, I don't know which half"

You’re using that word too liberally. They’re not a fucking genius it’s been staring us all in the face for years. It was only a matter of time before this shit went completely main stream. I know people across the county that use jawn all the time.

Ok, easy. I don't think the person who created this marketing campaign deserves the Nobel prize or anything.

Streisand effect

>The Streisand effect is the way attempts to hide, remove, or censor information can lead to the unintended consequence of increasing awareness of that information. It is named after American singer and actress Barbra Streisand, whose attempt to suppress the California Coastal Records Project's photograph of her cliff-top residence in Malibu, California, taken to document California coastal erosion, inadvertently drew greater attention to the photograph in 2003.
