InforSense: Helping a Europe-based Analytics Firm Expand into North America

Challenge:

London-based InforSense was well known for its analytics capabilities within research arms of pharmaceutical companies and medical research institutes but was virtually unknown outside the research community. The company wanted to continue to drive visibility and sales leads in these markets while expanding into new but related markets including healthcare. InforSense was not well-known outside the U.K. and wanted to establish a presence in North America.

 

Our Work:

  • Created stories about the impact of translational medicine, genomics research and personalized medicine on everyday medical care to help educate the market outside the core research community. This helped our target audiences understand how complex analytics and big data could impact the way the medical community treated diseases like cancer, diabetes, as well as many other chronic diseases.
  • Launched InforSense into the healthcare vertical leveraging their first customer in this market.
  • Implemented a key influencers program to raise awareness for an exit.
