About
I'm Brian Thackston — writer, attorney*, and the keeper of this catalog.
I'm a marketer ➡️ operations expert ➡️ lawyer ➡️ agency co-founder ➡️ legal innovation architect.
I'm lucky to be where I am and with who I am. Especially now with you as a part of it.
Pry into how I professionally help folks
I am a non-practicing attorney. I work with attorneys, CPAs, and other professionals to make them more money with their marketing and operations.
Marketing work I do
- Fully managed marketing: It all starts with strategy. But everyone has some strategy — the hard part is transforming your strategic ideas into execution, which is where I best help.
- Creative work: Videos, websites, and other creative work that converts visitors into leads and leads into clients. Plus, staying at the top of inboxes and showing up on the first page of Google and query in ChatGPT.
- Advertising & analytics: Google Ads. Facebook Ads. Print Ads. Retargeting Ads. Email Ads. If you’re spending money on ads, I can help you improve ROI.
Operations consulting I do
- ai ops: Making ai work for you and your team.
- Process development: Knowledge (and project) management is essential, especially for knowledge-based businesses (like legal and accounting firms).
Legal work I (probably won't) do for you
I am a literal SUPER LAWYER ® and a member of Maryland State Bar Association in good standing. But I do not actively practice so I can connect you with some great tax and legal professionals if needed.
- Contracts + Employment: A verbal agreement is only as good as the paper it's written on. Get practical advice for reviewing contracts.
- IP + General Counsel: Make sure you own what you think you own and you protect what you need to protect. Future you will thank you.
- Estate + Taxes + More: How to handle your aging parents, tax controversies, tax compliance, lawsuits, and more.
*Obtained Juris Doctorate (J.D.) from the University of Baltimore School of Law, member of the Maryland State Bar Association (Esq.), and this fellow on the ABA Journal website said I can call myself a doctor (Dr.). Plus, I'm just jooooking from time to time.
