The Situation
ModernVivo, an emerging life science startup with a breakthrough AI-powered in vivo literature review platform, set out to build brand awareness and generate leads but they were starting with no digital infrastructure. We stepped in to refine product messaging and build a digital marketing capability that was agile, educational, and pipeline-driven, targeting academic scientists, CROs, and biotech/pharma decision-makers.
The Plan
We partnered with ModernVivo from the ground up:
Acted as a “Jill of all trades” at launch, then transitioned to focus on refining strategy, growing the CEO’s LinkedIn presence, and guiding the website team.
Built around Google and AI search trends to capture demand and establish authority.
Delivered multiple assets, including blogs with custom images, social posts, case studies, and tactical guides.
Secured high-quality backlinks to strengthen domain authority and improve rankings.
Provided recommendations to improve calls-to-action (CTAs) and streamline user experience for stronger conversions.
Repurposed content into newsletters and social campaigns to amplify reach and spark engagement.
Collaborated with a life science GTM agency on influencer campaigns and targeted outreach to generate buzz and visibility.
Measured and tracked progress across traffic, search visibility, and social presence to gain potential customer info and fine-tune strategy.
"Sciencia Consulting was easy to work with."
Jill and her team brought the perfect mix of life science expertise and digital innovation that our start-up needed to establish our brand and generate leads. Their work creates cost-efficient, multi-channel content that builds trust, ranks in AI search, increases visibility, and fuels pipeline growth.
