BioIVT
Growing a market in Europe and Beyond via multichannel marketing support
Elevating Science®
BioIVT, is a global provider of biological specimens and value-added services. They specialise in control and disease state samples including human and animal tissues, cell products, blood and other biofluids for research and testing purposes.
The need to access a European market
Orientation Marketing began working with BioIVT’s US-based personalised medicine department, who were looking to expand the organisation’s reach in Europe. However, soon into the project, we incorporated the US regions into the campaign via a multichannel approach. Initially a brand awareness project, the project soon grew from covering various regions to various marketing objectives. Therefore, we were called upon to run lead generation campaigns alongside the more brand-based messages we were promoting to support top and bottom-of-the-funnel marketing conversions.
An extensive media plan
Our extensive knowledge of the media landscape positioned us well to be able to support BioIVT from the beginning. Throughout the year, targeted media placements were arranged and delivered as part of a comprehensive media plan, using the appropriate titles which were shortlisted to approx 60 titles, but also to support key events throughout the period. A range of e-blasts, digital banners and e-book and newsletter sponsorships, as well as a small number of full-page adverts within physical magazines, ran over the period of the campaign. All to ensure that the marketing team at BioIVT were hitting their product sales targets.
CD4+ Cells Explainer Video
Soon, it became apparent that an explainer video was required for BioIVT, initially required for an event, but then used across multiple channels. We set out to build an animated video in 4k, collaborating with BioIVT on creating the script and then turning that script into a storyboard that could produce up to three minutes of video content. The finished product can be seen below, with voiceover and supporting sound, which communicates complex manners in a simple way for BioIVT’s audience, which now spanned the US and Europe. We also provided additional deliverables for use on social media, such as short versions, social media resizes and stills, repurposing content in multiple formats so our client could maximise the investment in the project.

Paid Search and Paid Social
The media plan was also supported with a range of paid social campaigns; using LinkedIn and Twitter’s targeting features to further promote the various events (such as a dedicated In Vitro Diagnostic Device Regulation (IVDR) Requirements Lunch and Learn), product launches (such as the BioIVT’s new London CTLS Donor Center) and other various marketing messages. We were able to send 3,800+ qualified visitors to the various campaigns throughout the year from a minimal budget, as well as generate further video views and impressions to brand-specific campaigns.
As part of our efforts to increase BioIVT’s marketing outputs, we utilised Google Ads to ensure that the scientific community could access BioIVT’s range of products on SERPs. Campaigns were built for the US and EU, promoting disease state specimens, IVD and immune cells products, as well as the BioIVT brand, and were supported with multiple display remarketing ads across Google’s network of suitable websites. YOY clicks increased by 41.2k and conversions up 14k, with the cost conversion decreased by $53, rounding off a highly successful project.
Outcomes
Since the beginning of the project with BioIVT’s personalised medicine department, spend has doubled, and we are increasing the level of marketing support provided to the client. In 2022, we were vital in the launch of their new product in both the disease state portfolio and Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion (ADME portfolio) and we will continue to support BioIVT throughout 2023.
Orientation Marketing is now working with a separate department of BioIVT - its B2C donor recruitment arm, providing localised Google Ads and influencer marketing support to increase the number of donations at its centers.
