Last associates committee meeting is coming up. Partners have asked each associate to come up with... not one... but FIVE marketing ideas. Other than reeling out “we offer competitive pay” in job postings, what are some good ones your firm does?

I’m struggling a bit. If I knew how to market well, I certainly wouldn’t be in this position.

Imho, if you aren’t offering something that other firms dont then don’t have a hook to recruit anybody. Client initiatives and events don’t really move the needle. Think about real tangible offerings that your firm can make in a hyper competitive market.

Nonetheless, It sounds like your firm isn’t really willing to do those things. Good luck!

Just to add, I also meant more generally like sponsored events, client initiatives etc.
