Synthace's newsletter wasn't attracting subscribers
When I took over Synthace’s newsletter, I saw an opportunity. Research showed that newsletters were popular among scientists (our target audience). Done well, it would be a great format to invest in. At the time, the Synthace newsletter was an entertaining read. But it was just a round-up of owned content authored by the Synthace marketing team, and it wasn’t bringing in many subscribers.
I turned it into a by scientists, for scientists sub-brand
I reviewed newsletter performance, audience insights, and inspiration from inside and outside our space. Then I defined the strategic goal, and the unique value we could bring to scientists. The result was a sub-brand for brand awareness called Synthesis—where our in-house scientists share relatable stories, plus the latest on modern methods, automation and discoveries in life science R&D.
I recruited in-house scientists and coached them, teasing out story ideas and posts and helping write them up. Once I saw subscribers increasing, I also started cross-posting each edition to LinkedIn.
