Knight Nicastro MacKay Success Story

The Challenge

Knight Nicastro MacKay, a premium litigation-focused law firm with multiple offices across the United States, faced a significant challenge. Despite their reputation for handling complex legal matters for large corporate clients, their website did not reflect the high caliber of services they provided. It lacked modern aesthetics, functionality, and the capacity to effectively tell their story or showcase their extensive capabilities. The website was not just a digital space—it was crucial for impressing potential clients and reinforcing the firm's stature as a leader in the legal industry. Dr. Dana Knight-Reyes, COO of the firm, recognized the need for a transformation to align the website with their strategic growth and the premium nature of their services.

Our Approach

Understanding the Vision

From the outset, it was clear that Knight Nicastro MacKay needed more than a simple facelift for their website. They required a strategic overhaul that would not only improve aesthetics but also enhance functionality across multiple areas. UPWARD worked closely with Dr. Dana Knight-Reyes to ensure the new website would not only meet but exceed the expectations of their discerning clientele.

Technical and Strategic Development

We focused on developing a robust Content Management System (CMS) using Webflow, which allowed for easy management of their diverse team of attorneys, paralegals, and administrative staff. The CMS also efficiently handled their practice areas, office locations, blogs, and job postings, with interconnected data that improved navigation and user experience.

Enhancing Digital Storytelling

Recognizing the importance of narrative in conveying the firm’s ethos, we enriched the website with content that tells the story of Knight Nicastro MacKay’s commitment to excellence and their strategic approach to litigation. This storytelling was integrated into every aspect of the design, ensuring that the firm's identity and values were clearly communicated.

Launch Strategy and Execution

In launching the revamped website, UPWARD provided comprehensive support to Knight Nicastro MacKay in two key ways, ensuring a smooth transition and maximizing internal and external engagement:

Internal Promotion and Engagement

First, we developed an internal landing page that was distributed to all Knight Nicastro MacKay employees. This page highlighted the new website's key features and improvements, offering a detailed guide to navigating the updated digital space. Additionally, we produced a compelling video featuring Dr. Dana Knight-Reyes. In the video, Dr. Knight-Reyes personally addresses the KNM team, announcing the launch, and providing valuable historical context on the website's role in supporting the firm's growth and strategic goals. This personalized approach helped foster a sense of unity and excitement about the new website within the firm.

External Announcement

Second, to create a buzz around the new website launch externally, we crafted a dynamic video for posting on the firm's LinkedIn page. This video served as a grand announcement, showcasing the website’s features and the firm's innovative approach to legal services. By choosing a platform like LinkedIn, known for professional networking, the video effectively reached Knight Nicastro MacKay's target audience, including potential clients and legal professionals. This strategic release not only highlighted the website’s capabilities but also reinforced the firm's position as an industry leader.

These launch strategies were instrumental in ensuring that both the internal team and the external market were well-informed and excited about the new capabilities and enhancements of the Knight Nicastro MacKay website. This thoughtful rollout contributed significantly to the overall success of the project, amplifying engagement and fostering a deeper connection with the firm's brand.

The Outcome and Transformation

The revamped website has significantly enhanced Knight Nicastro MacKay's digital presence, aligning it with their reputation as a top-tier law firm. The new site not only impresses potential clients but also serves as an effective platform for the firm's ongoing growth and recruitment efforts. With the improved functionality and enriched content, the firm now boasts a digital presence that truly reflects their status in the legal industry.

Client Feedback

Dr. Dana Knight-Reyes shared her satisfaction with the project:

"The collaboration with UPWARD has been invaluable. The new website perfectly captures the essence of Knight Nicastro MacKay and elevates our digital presence to match our real-world stature. It’s a vital tool in our growth strategy and helps us maintain our competitive edge in a challenging industry."
