WhatSets Us Apart
We create meaningful settlement participation in class actions, bankruptcies, and ongoing litigation:
- Meeting people where they are—whether that’s on social media, in their most-used apps, in a free local paper, or on their favorite radio station or streaming television program,
- Personalizing content experiences with messaging that resonates, and
- Establishing trust in the potential benefits it provides.
We take notice programs to the next level by integrating tested techniques from political campaigns, data analytics, digital, public relations, and media buying.
Advanced Data & Analytics
Data-driven Programs
We provide a range of analytics services for our legal clients, including custom modeling solutions that integrate seamlessly with digital advertising platforms; access to a licensed data set representing 270 million U.S. adults; and creative strategies for leveraging or augmenting existing, first-party data.
Pre-program Media Testing
Prior to releasing settlement notices and communications more broadly, we administer pre-program media testing on sample cohorts. This allows us to empirically define and optimize the variables affecting response rate early in the claims period.
Strategic & Crisis Communications
Focus Groups & Opinion Surveys
We design and facilitate custom focus groups that enable us to listen to potential claimants, gauge their level of awareness of the issues being litigated, hear their concerns, and then test different messages with them. Follow-up online and telephone surveys help test strategic notice approaches, such as the best surrogates, media channels, and formats.
Story Placement & Press Management
At the local and national level, trusted publications—accessed via print and online—are a key means of raising settlement awareness. Signal’s access to a team of public affairs and press professionals offers the parties opportunities to tell a more complex settlement nuanced story to the class member audience and drive participation in a more organic way. Crisis communications experts can also anticipate and address potential crises that may impact public perception of the litigation.
Social Media & Grassroots Engagement
Social Media Management
Advertising on social platforms like Facebook requires a presence on those channels, and notice programs are no exception. The cultivation of an online community is key to creating trust. We actively engage with potential claimants on social channels to answer questions, address concerns, and drive them to the case website.
On-ground Outreach, Canvassing & Community Partnerships
We bring trusted representatives to the doorsteps of putative class members to personally answer questions and guide them through the process. Enlisting trusted community organizations and validators to advocate for awareness and participation among their audiences adds a layer of trust and generates grassroots engagement with the message.
Bespoke Solutions forBigger Challenges
Signal excels at determining the right approach to effectively reach class members and individual potential clients.
Fresh Platforms & Techniques
Digital legal advertising is a fixture on Facebook and Search platforms, and concerns about misinformation make it challenging for reliable voices to break through. We leverage multi-channel strategies and lesser-used platforms in the legal space to publicize settlements, support law firm brands, lower costs, and ensure maximum penetration across demographic subgroups.
Social Listening
Our access to social listening platforms enables us to pull data from social media, YouTube, online news sources, and online forums to comprehensively analyze online conversations around a particular topic—like a settlement or key case development—at any given moment. This essentially provides digital tracking and allows us to quickly measure which stories, people, and events are having the biggest impact. This data informs decisions around messaging and audiences to successfully position our campaigns, and to gain valuable insights on competitor law firm activities.
HIPAA-Compliant Data Sources
Signal has access to a proprietary, HIPAA-compliant method for identifying and digitally engaging a modeled audience of patients who have filed insurance claims around a variety of diagnoses or procedure codes, used certain pharmaceutical drugs, or even visited certain types of providers. This unique, state-of-the-art technology uses tokenization to anonymize personal data and achieve third-party -verified HIPAA compliance.
