College Hill Life Sciences
media drinks
30 March 2011 saw the first Life Sciences Media drinks of the year, with journalists attending from across the sector. Media from New Scientist, EP Vantage, Scrip, Clinica and more came to meet the Life Sciences team for an evening of drinks, canapés and conversation. The event was a success with story ideas discussed and new relationships formed.
Lab 21
A global specialist in personalised medicine and clinical diagnostics, College Hill client Lab 21 was featured in a Times Business case study entitled “Mapping British Business: A Taste of Southern Comfort” following the Company’s expansion into the US. The case study reflected the challenges of growth in the UK, Lab21’s business model and highlighted plans to seek additional investment in America.
Epigenomics – perception
audit and messaging
One way to really make the most of a messaging meeting for larger more established companies is to combine it with a perception audit of relevant audiences. We did exactly that with Epigenomics, life science’s listed German cancer molecular diagnostic company. The outcome was a sharper more directed set of corporate messages informed by feedback from the audiences that were important to the Company – now rolled out in all materials and the ongoing newsflow.
