Nature
Reviews Microarrays Collection: an integrated marketing tool for
Affymetrix
As market leader with
a prominent market positioning and effective marketing programme,
finding new ways to re-enforce your products’ benefits and
drive awareness in new and emerging markets is a challenge. Working
with its client Affymetrix, Northbank liased closely with Nature
Publishing Group (npg) to develop the concept for the second in
Nature’s “Reviews Collection” supplements, the
Microarray Collection. An integrated on-line and off-line product,
the Reviews Collection provides a valuable printed supplement of
4-5 leading reviews selected from across Nature’s Reviews
journals together with news editorials, sponsors’ advertisements
and a sponsor’s editorial. The supplement was circulated with
magazines of the sponsors’ choice from across the npg stable.
A full on-line version is available free for six months, promoted
widely by Nature and providing additional promotional opportunities
through banner and skyscraper ads, and editorial.
“The Nature
Reviews Microarray Collection is a valuable and highly credible
vehicle to increase market awareness of our array products and their
cutting edge applications to life science research and medical audiences”
commented Dr Trevor Nicholls, Chief Commercial Officer for Affymetrix.
“We have had a tremendous response to the supplement through
our own and Nature’s marketing efforts”. See http://www.nature.com/reviews/
“Northbank is creative
in thinking laterally across PR, advertising, direct mail and online
vehicles for its clients” said Claire Hines, Business Development
Director at npg who worked closely with Northbank’s CEO Sue
Charles to develop the Microarrays Collection concept. “As
the leading science publishing house npg is looking for innovative
ways to deliver valuable resources to its readers and effective
marketing vehicles to its commercial customers.” she said.
Northbank is
currently negotiating further Reviews Collections and novel marketing
