The Super Bowl of Life Science Marketing
I’ve definitely got a lot more to say about Web 2.0 and social networking for scientists but for now I think I’ll return to the stated mission of this blog – our understanding of the buyers and sellers in the life science market. In my last related post I wrote about the need to use […]
Just Go Ahead and Ask!
The thing that never ceases to amaze me is how opinionated scientists can be – we’ve asked them questions on everything from the ethics of cloning to how they prefer to order oligos online. Scientists never disappoint and we often receive hundreds of thoughtful (and often impassioned) responses. So with our emphasis this week on […]
Our Panel of Scientists Celebrates Ten Years Online
We’ve been getting generating quite a bit of interest over the last couple of days since issuing the press release that I’d like to share with you here: ARLINGTON, VA – September 5, 2007 – The Science Advisory Board, an online community of more than 34,000 scientists, celebrates its ten-year anniversary — making it one […]
Scientists and Professional Networking Websites
I’d like to switch topics here for a while away from my previous theme and write about a subject near and dear to my heart – The Science Advisory Board. Ten years ago next week – that’s a DECADE before anyone started talking about “Web 2.0” – we launched The Science Advisory Board website. Today, […]
Scientists Are People Too
Our research in the life science market leads us to believe that consumer behavior is fairly consistent. That is, there are a few simple behaviors that appear to be true across all demographics. In particular, corporate reputations are hard to change, which is good if customers like you, but terrible if they don’t. Likewise, as […]
What Drives Purchase in Labs?
In my last couple of postings I’ve tried to describe the market as we see it. What I’d like to do now is to start moving the discussion toward the challenges you face as a life science marketer, how good research can improve your probability of success, and how we’ve tackled some fairly common business […]
Scientists as Consumers
In our last post we described the market’s sellers – the biotech tools companies. But in order for there to be a market there has to be a buyer—in this case, life scientists working in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, university, and government labs. (As an aside, I hate it when people use the word “space” when they […]
The Market’s Sellers Through The Looking Glass
The news continues to be filled with stories about failed clinical trials, slashed R&D budgets and the social controversies surrounding cloning, gene therapy and stem cells. This makes it easy to forget that the biotechnology industry continues to be full of promise-an industry whose contributions to science have been compared to the impact of the […]
