Scientific content can be a valuable pillar of your marketing strategy

Specialist content is unique in its ability to communicate complex information to specific audiences, providing them with a deep understanding of your products, services, or technical solutions.

How many types of content formats can I utilize?

Part 1 of our blog series – Scientific content and where it fits in the marketing funnel – looked at scientific content in relation to the marketing funnel, and this week we’re going to look at some of the types of content you can deploy together with some top tips. 

Case studies 

Case studies are a useful content tool. Their purpose is to provide a third-party endorsement of your technical expertise and act as a way of boosting credibility. 

You can feature these assets in your marketing mix through your website, within marketing collateral, and as sales enablement tools. 

Our top tips: 

• Ensure your structure is consistent to cover the relevant points

• Highlight technical details; your audience wants to understand how you tackled the situation

• While it’s key to demonstrate technical expertise, remember to use engaging and accessible language that will appeal to a range of knowledge levels
• Utilize data like statistics and customer quotes to reinforce your messages and add authenticity
• Focus on results – how and where did you add value/differentiate from competitors and support commercial goals

Web copy 

Your website is the hub of digital comms with the sole goal of engaging your audience and positioning your company as the partner they need. 

Your content needs to be clear, concise, and engaging with a solid foundation built around keyword research.
