A (waaay) Smarter Approach to Legal Content (in my humble opinion)
Hilde Franzsen
Branding, Design and Digital Marketing for Law Firms | Where Creativity meets Strategy
Lawyers already know content matters (most of them anyway).
When I started working in legal marketing, that much became clear. Lawyers understand that well-written articles, blog posts, and social media posts help build their brand, attract the right clients, and position them as trusted experts.
But creating that content? Woof.
For many legal professionals, content marketing feels like just another task on an already overwhelming to-do list (usually egged on by nagging marketers).
The time it takes to plan, write, and refine content often competes with billable hours. So when they do create content, it’s often out of necessity rather than strategy—fitting it in when they can, doing their best with the time available.
That’s where I saw a problem.
It wasn’t that lawyers weren’t trying—it’s that there weren’t enough resources guiding them through a more strategic, audience-first approach to content. And when time is already stretched thin, it’s easy to fall into the habit of creating content without a clear roadmap—focusing on what to say rather than why it matters to the audience.
So I built Lexecho .
Not to replace legal content marketing with (yet another) AI. Not to churn out content at scale. But to act as a content brainstorming and strategy partner—one that helps legal professionals create content that is not only easier to produce but also more impactful.
The Real Legal Content Struggle
The internet is already overflowing with legal content. The real challenge isn’t just producing content—it’s creating the right content for the right audience at the right time.
Many legal professionals are turning to AI tools like ChatGPT to speed up content creation, and while they are incredible tools (I know I couldn’t go without my trusty GPTs), they only work as well as the strategy behind them.
Without understanding the who and why behind a piece of content, AI-generated articles feel generic, unfocused, or disconnected from the real needs of potential clients.
Lexecho is designed to bridge that gap.
Rather than being a one-click content generator, Lexecho is a thinking partner—helping lawyers move beyond simply writing content and into the realm of creating content with purpose.
Why Lexecho is Built Different
I knew from the start that I didn’t want to build just another AI writing tool. There are plenty of platforms that will generate a full blog post in seconds—but that’s not where the real value lies.
Lexecho was designed to:
And yes, it has personality.
Lexecho isn’t just another AI assistant with a robotic tone—it’s designed to be engaging, sharp, and strategic. Think of it like your content brainstorming bestie—here to guide, challenge, and inspire. I wanted it to feel like you’re working with me, personally. If you’re looking for something ultra-formal and corporate, this might not be it. But if you want a tool that makes content smarter, easier, and (dare I say) a little fun? You’ll love Lexecho.
Where Lexecho is Headed
My hopes and dreams for Lexecho are still growing. There’s a lot I want to refine, improve, and expand upon—but at its core, my vision remains the same:
I may be a one-woman show, but I believe this is something the legal marketing space needs. I want Lexecho to become part of the larger conversation around legal tech and AI—not as a tool that replaces human insight, but as one that enhances and empowers it.
So, if you’re a legal professional looking for better ways to approach content, smarter workflows, and a tool that helps you think strategically, I’d love for you to give Lexecho a try.
Let’s rethink legal content marketing together.
I’m looking for a few more people (lawyers, legal marketers, legal tech folks) to give Lexecho a whirl before it launches in April. If you’re keen, please apply here.
