Built the legal-marketing machine from the inside for two decades. Now building the alternative.
Josh Corbelli has worked in search since 2006. He spent seven years at Thomson Reuters / FindLaw — one of the dominant forces in legal marketing — and then built Agency 310, managing more than $2M in annual ad spend for law firms.
Two decades on the agency side led him to one conclusion: the model is structurally incapable of delivering what it promises. It bills for activity, not outcomes, and the reports are built so a firm can't trace a single client back to a single dollar. That isn't a flaw in the execution — it's the business model.
GrowthAgents is the alternative he wished existed on the other side of the table: a team of AI agents that does the work — content, social, reputation, with lead capture in development — on one shared intelligence layer, with every asset tagged to a measurable result and compliance built into the foundation rather than bolted on. Built for licensed professionals from day one, because for them a marketing mistake isn't a bad month; it's a grievance.
