Case Study Details Impressive Results after Leader in Tissue Procurement for Pharmaceutical Research Turns to Inbound Marketing Agency for Lead Quality and Lead Volue

Irvine, CA—October 21, 2014 — SmartBug Media, a leading inbound marketing agency helping businesses increase leads, revenue, and brand loyalty, today announced the results of inbound marketing initiative for Conversant Bio, a leader in tissue procurement for pharmaceutical research. The case study is available at http://www.smartbugmedia.com/case-studies/healthcare-inbound-marketing-conversant-bio.

Conversant Bio, which sells specific tissue samples to researchers investigating a range of serious diseases, was urgently seeking to upgrade to its marketing strategy with the goals of attracting the best prospects and clearly communicating its value proposition. The Alabama-based firm turned to SmartBug to invigorate its marketing efforts. SmartBug’s strategies, which included persona development, an inbound marketing playbook, blogging and premium content, and HubSpot COS development, yielded extraordinary results. In six months, Conversant Bio experienced:

  • A 250 percent month-over-month increase in lead growth
  • A 700 percent increase in qualified leads
  • An astonishing 3,558 percent ROI from the inbound marketing campaign

“Before the SmartBug-driven inbound marketing campaigns, the majority of our Web leads were either garbage or spam,” says Luke Doiron, Conversant Bio’s chief commercial officer. “We’re now experiencing significant ROI on our campaigns. Based on our historical customer purchase patterns, we expect the three-year return on this initial six-month investment to be above 14,500 percent. We’re thrilled!”
