Demand generation is the highest priority of marketing professionals in scientific industries. With the availability of sophisticated online marketing technologies, demand generation is easier to deploy, manage, and track than ever before. On the other hand, it is much more difficult than ever to create effective and compelling content. During this talk, Hamid Ghanadan, president of The Linus Group, will share a snapshot of the industry's marketing spending and offer tips for creating more effective demand generation campaigns.
Laboratories are at the forefront of research and analysis. But when it comes to communication, they are followers rather than leaders and can be very slow to adopt innovations. The use of social media is a case in point. Mario Di Ubaldi, publishing director of LabX Media Group, will share the results of a recent survey of over 800 lab professionals and how they are utilizing social media sites for their research.
