Is it possible to fit scientific content to support marketing objectives?

It is one thing to incubate a stack of potential content as a company, but how do you turn complicated in-depth knowledge into valuable marketing assets? That was the question Cerus a biomedical products company focused on blood transfusion safety, confronted Living Stone with.

On a yearly basis, Cerus invites blood safety experts from around the globe to its Seminar on Blood Safety. In the run up to the 11th edition of this event, Cerus considered the large amount of cutting edge scientific knowledge a single edition represents.

Without any kind of coverage, access to all this expertise remained limited to attendees, contained within the time and space of those two days and that year’s venue. Except for their own notes and some pictures of the slides shown, attendees had no means to share the new insights with their colleagues at home. Even so, such a condense immersion in top-notch scientific input is not that easily digestible. And what about blood safety stakeholders who did not make it to the Cerus guest list or invitees who were unable to attend?

As the organization of a large-scale event is also a time and money consuming project, Cerus was looking for a way to obtain a higher return on investment. But how? Simply making the presentation slides available would be an inadequate solution. Some slides are far from self-explanatory and not all speakers are willing to offer such free availability of their intellectual property. Videotaping the entire happening would make for a time-consuming report, containing quite some redundant information. 

Cerus turned to Living Stone for advice, and the end result exceeded their expectations. Read our e-book to learn how Living Stone helped Cerus to create a valuable tool that, supported by Showpad, has already shown proof of impact.

As a B2B marketing agency that focuses on healthcare marketing alongside engineering and IT, we put a lot of effort into content marketing. Strong storytelling and credible content creation are two powerful tools to inform and engage patients, doctors or other stakeholders.

Should you add an influencer to your B2B marketing mix?

Do you need an influencer to promote your B2B product or service? If you’re thinking of celebrity influencers like Lewis Hamilton or one of the Kardashians, the answer is probably no. But if you’re thinking of an influential person in your industry, or a top subject-matter expert, it’s something to consider, as it can add value and new dimensions to your marketing programs.

The future looks good for (AI) chatbots

If you visited a website recently, you likely interacted with a chatbot. Whether they’re ‘smart’ (powered by generative AI), ‘simple’ (rule-based), or a mix of both, chatbots are now ubiquitous across all types of websites. And this popularity is going to grow – according to market intelligence company Mordor, the chatbot market will reach $102 billion USD by 2026. And according to research firm Gartner, by 2027 chatbots will be the main customer service channel for approximately 25% of companies. In a press released issued by Gartner, Uma Challa, Sr. Director Analyst at Gartner, commented: “Chatbots and virtual customer assistants (VCAs) have evolved over the past decade to become a critical technology component of a service organization’s strategy. When designed correctly, chatbots can improve customer experience and drive positive customer emotion at a lower cost than live interactions.”
