Our Approach

Lifecycle marketing built for healthcare

We take healthcare companies from market-ready to market-leading across three phases: engaging the right audience, building lasting relationships, and scaling what works.


Phase One

Attract

Build awareness and drive engagement with the right stakeholders: clinicians, investors, distributors, and patients.

Strategy & Positioning

Clear, high-impact messaging that differentiates your brand and aligns identity with action-driven business goals: clinician adoption, distributor buy-in, patient enrollment, or investor conviction. We develop CTA-driven assets that guide prospects toward direct engagement.

Thought Leadership & Industry Engagement

Position executives and organizations as go-to experts to generate inbound interest. We create high-value gated content (white papers, reports) designed to capture leads, not just educate, and use strategic speaking opportunities to drive direct engagement with clear next steps.

Public Relations & Media Strategy

Media placements designed to convert, not just inform. We leverage coverage to drive action: interview-to-landing-page strategies, press kits with embedded lead capture, and earned media tied to trackable exclusive content offers.

Event & Conference Strategy

Event-driven lead funnels that turn booth traffic into meetings and speaking opportunities into inbound requests. Pre- and post-event campaigns that drive measurable outcomes: email nurture sequences, live demo scheduling, and follow-up pipelines.

Offline Awareness Campaigns

Print and direct mail with clear response mechanisms: QR codes, exclusive content access. Co-branded partnerships that expand referral networks. Targeted activation campaigns across the biotech and medtech ecosystem that ensure visibility leads to action.

Investor & Capital Strategy

Equity story development, pitch deck creation, and investor outreach across family offices, strategics, and growth investors. We help life sciences founders build and activate the investor pipeline they need to close rounds and fund continued commercialization.

Phase Two

Engage

Convert awareness into relationships. We build the infrastructure and content that moves stakeholders from interested to committed.

Stakeholder & KOL Engagement

Creating and managing KOL engagement programs that build clinical credibility. Building stakeholder portals for investors, clinicians, and industry leaders. Facilitating strategic partnerships for ecosystem growth and peer-to-peer advocacy.

Content Strategy & Development

Producing high-value thought leadership blogs and articles, clinical and technical content for commercialization support, and investor decks, case studies, and white papers. All developed with your commercial goals in mind, not just your brand voice.

Multi-Channel Digital Strategy

Aligning digital marketing efforts with offline activations. Creating video content and testimonials that enhance stakeholder engagement. Social media campaigns tailored for industry audiences across LinkedIn, email, and sector-specific channels.

Sales Enablement & CRM

HubSpot and Salesforce implementations with automation for client pipeline management. Designing MQL and SQL frameworks. Developing marketing-to-sales handoff processes that keep revenue pipelines visible, accountable, and moving.

Partnership & Co-Marketing Strategy

Coordinating co-marketing initiatives with strategic partners. Managing thought leadership collaborations and cross-promotions. Developing shared content, events, and sponsorship activations that expand your reach through established networks.

The MedTech Collaborative Network

Cicada owns and operates The MedTech Collaborative, with 8,000+ subscribers across New England including clinicians, founders, and KOLs. Our clients gain direct access to a captive audience of early-adopter HCPs and industry leaders actively seeking innovation.

Phase Three

Delight

Build the systems that sustain commercial growth, from conversion pathways to scalable infrastructure and long-term community.

Conversion Pathways & Materials

Creating lead nurturing sequences and email campaigns. Developing offline conversion materials: clinical brochures, investor packets, and technical guides. Ensuring brand consistency and a conversion-forward flow across every stakeholder touchpoint.

Performance Tracking & Optimization

Implementing multi-channel analytics and KPI dashboards. Providing HubSpot and CRM reporting frameworks for full visibility into engagement and sales. Conducting A/B testing for continuous campaign performance optimization.

Sustainable Marketing Infrastructure

Establishing internal marketing processes and documentation. Training internal teams on marketing best practices and tools. Creating customizable brand asset libraries and toolkits that make your team self-sufficient as you scale beyond us.

Community Building & Long-Term Engagement

Managing online and offline community engagement programs. Driving peer-to-peer advocacy and word-of-mouth marketing. Hosting networking events, roundtables, and private industry briefings that create durable stakeholder loyalty over time.
