THE CHALLENGE
TD2 is a world-class oncology contract research organization (CRO) that partners with innovative biotech and pharmaceutical companies with the purpose-driven goal to bring new cancer treatments to patients as quickly as possible. While one of the most effective in successfully advancing cancer treatments through clinical trials, TD2 had low brand awareness when the company hired Marketwave and they needed to distinguish themselves from larger, established competitors. The firm turned to us to strengthen their brand and support lead generation through a multi-channel, integrated marketing plan.
THE SOLUTION
After our signature Brandwave workshop, we had the research and insights we needed to solidify TD2’s brand position along with a comprehensive marketing strategy and plan that would differentiate and highlight their key brand benefits of: responsiveness, experience, adaptability, and genuine passion for patient care. From there, a thought leadership and brand awareness campaign was born.
Our team:
- Developed a clear and differentiated Brand Platform.
- Applied our foundational Message Map exercise to inform key messages.
- Defined the content strategy across social media and white papers.
- Partnered with a leading publication to customize sponsored content opportunities and generate qualified leads.
- Designed trade show booth and collateral for events such as the American Society of Clinical Oncologists annual meeting.
- Redesigned TD2’s website to improve user experience and showcase service areas.
