Living Stone is a partner for both Veeva and Showpad. We support our clients with a wide range of programs designed for the Veeva and Showpad platforms. For example, for Cerus, a biomedical products company focused on blood transfusion, we translated the content from an international symposium into a meaningful tool for broader post-symposium use, based on Showpad. We bundled a mix of audio-visual and written materials in one app, containing the speakers’ key messages and additional background materials. You can read more in our reference case here.
At Living Stone, we focus on today's marketing trends and tomorrow's developments.
