What Marketing Lab Delivers

The Marketing Execution Your Business

Marketing Lab vs. a Marketing Agency

Everything You Need.
None of What You Don't.

Chicago law firm marketing agencies charge between $2,000 and $10,000 or more per month in agency fees — before media spend. Industry benchmarks published in 2026 put small firm marketing spend at $3,000 to $10,000 monthly. Marketing Lab delivers execution without the overhead.

Amata Marketing Lab

Your dedicated marketing admin — embedded in your workspace.

  • From $980/month — no agency fees
  • Same person every month — knows your voice
  • Content drafted in your voice — reviewed before publishing
  • Month-to-month — no long-term contract
  • Media spend billed directly to Google — no markups
  • Monthly report by 5th business day
  • Also handles admin, court runs, and general support
  • Pairs with Studio 33 for content production
Traditional Marketing Agency

A third-party vendor with their own agenda and overhead.

  • $2,000–$10,000+/month in agency fees before media spend
  • Rotating account managers — you re-explain yourself constantly
  • Generic content — rarely sounds like you
  • 6-month or annual contracts common
  • Media spend marked up 15-20% by the agency
  • Monthly reports that obscure more than they reveal
  • No general admin support — marketing only
  • No content studio access
🎙️
Pair With Studio 33

Record Your Content in the Loop.
Your Admin Distributes It.

Studio 33 — Chicago's only professional podcast and VODcast studio in the Loop — sits in the same building as your Marketing Lab admin. Record your thought-leadership content, podcast episodes, or LinkedIn video in Studio 33. A third-party production specialist handles editing and file conversion. Your admin then distributes the finished content across social media, your website, and your Google Business Profile.

Note: Admin support covers distribution and publishing. Editing and production of raw recordings requires a separate production specialist — available through Studio 33's network.
