Jill Clark

Consultant

People, places, and things aren’t just nouns (thank you, Schoolhouse Rock). To Jill Clark, they are opportunities to make connections. Passionate is an arguably overused word, but Jill is genuinely, sincerely, no-bones-about-it passionate about legal marketing. She is driven (another trite but accurate term) to help lawyers grow their businesses and cultivate deep client relationships.

And she has the chops to back it up. Before Rain, Jill spent 18 years transforming the marketing department of a 100+ attorney firm into a model of marketing execution, client development, external and internal communications, public relations, and brand management. Jill herself led the firm’s business development coaching efforts, client feedback program, and crisis communications services. She regularly speaks to industry audiences on these subjects and even guest lectures on legal marketing and personal branding at Capital Law School.

At Rain, Jill is a client service evangelist, drawing from her extensive talents to help our clients understand their clients’ journeys, needs, and expectations. She works with law firms to get a 30,000-foot view of their marketing goals, then rolls up her sleeves to put the tactical wheels in motion to achieve them. Yup, she’s all that and a bag of chips.

Jill’s penchant for connecting and collaborating dates to elementary school, where teachers often commented that she “talks too much during class” on her report cards. If only they could see her now.

When she’s not serving as a trusted strategic advisor to Rain’s clients, Jill spends time with her three children, new son-in-law, dog, and granddogs. She is a huge proponent of being nice to strangers and random acts of kindness and constantly searches for that next perfect glass of wine.
