WHAT WE DID
The company hired HiveMind Marketing to help them reposition the company, update its branding and messaging, and ultimately launch a website and lead generation programs to support aggressive business goals.
After researching the company, its audiences, and key customers, HiveMind Marketing organized the company’s messaging under the umbrella tagline:
Understanding life one cell at a time.
The idea worked.
Results
This universal theme was amplified in high-impact print advertising within scientific research publications. We also redesigned their aging website to deliver targeted content to audience channels.
The company’s new corporate visibility, record-setting website traffic, strong lead pipeline, and press coverage attracted the attention of the industry. The company was sold to Millipore within a year.
