Marketing consideration
•   Target audience profile
    □ Start Up and Mid Size Biotech with funded clinical development
      pipeline/programs
    □ EU, Switzerland and US
    □ Innovator and biosimilar
    □ Many are ‘virtual’ organisations and outsource already ‘C’ level
      targets
    □ Very conservative, pay a premium to established players
    □ Long, detailed decision making process, ‘big’ decision
    □ High due diligence (site audit, formal suitability assessment)
    □ High regulatory compliance requirement
•   type of clients (current and prospects)
    □ International
           UK start up, e.g. spin out from Cambridge Uni.
           German biotech start up
           US Cancer Institute
           Dutch biotech start up etc.
Specific issues

□ Limited Market Reputation
  as New company in CMO Development and GMP
  Space. How to get considered as a service
  provider?
□ Visibility
□ Coverage with limited resource
□ Website –How could it improve? Interactive?
□ Search engine optimisation – are we getting the
  most out of our Google Adwords?
□ Technical Competence
Specific issues
□ Conferences – how can we entice more people to our
  booth without spending a fortune?
□ Our competitors – how can we stand out against
  Lonza, Cobra, Eden Biodesign, BioAlliance, Avid
  Bioservices, ProBioGen?
□ Video any ideas about how this could be done using
  some of the footage already taken? May need to be
  reshot in the future – could they work with the DCU
  Communications Department?
□ Tag line – do we need one? If so it should be simple
  yet effective e.g. “Supporting Biopharmaceutical
  Visions” – ProBioGen.
□ Logo (does it represent honesty, integrity,
  professionalism?) Possible redesign. Should there be a
  positive emotional attachment to the logo?
To End

□ Prize
□ Questions?

  • 24. Specific issues □ Limited Market Reputation as New company in CMO Development and GMP Space. How to get considered as a service provider? □ Visibility □ Coverage with limited resource □ Website –How could it improve? Interactive? □ Search engine optimisation – are we getting the most out of our Google Adwords? □ Technical Competence
  • 25. Specific issues □ Conferences – how can we entice more people to our booth without spending a fortune? □ Our competitors – how can we stand out against Lonza, Cobra, Eden Biodesign, BioAlliance, Avid Bioservices, ProBioGen? □ Video any ideas about how this could be done using some of the footage already taken? May need to be reshot in the future – could they work with the DCU Communications Department? □ Tag line – do we need one? If so it should be simple yet effective e.g. “Supporting Biopharmaceutical Visions” – ProBioGen. □ Logo (does it represent honesty, integrity, professionalism?) Possible redesign. Should there be a positive emotional attachment to the logo?
