For years, I’ve been carrying a question that today feels more relevant than ever:

Does biotech truly know its customer?

Not just where to find them, but who they really are.

Most biotech companies can clearly identify where their audience is: conferences, journals, LinkedIn, industry events.
But far fewer take the time to deeply understand who they are talking to.

What do they care about beyond the product?
What level of language do they expect?
What kind of dialogue makes them feel understood, respected, and intellectually engaged?

This reflection comes from observing how many biotech companies communicate on social media—LinkedIn, Instagram, and beyond. These platforms are not just distribution channels. They are daily touchpoints, real-time spaces for dialogue, and in many cases, more impactful than a once-a-year flagship conference.

And that’s where the real question emerges:

Is the language we use on these channels truly aligned with our buyer persona?

Biotech customers are highly educated professionals. Scientists, executives, decision-makers with deep technical expertise and a sharp critical mindset. Companies invest years of research, talent, and capital to serve them.

So why does the communication often fall short of that same level?

Every interaction with a customer—every post, every message, every piece of content—should be intentional. Not just to inform, but to position both sides on the same intellectual level.

This is not about oversharing confidential data or simplifying complex science. It’s about delivering value-driven, technically solid communication that reflects one thing clearly:

👉 Biotech companies are not just innovators in the lab, but strong knowledge leaders in the digital space as well.

And that, especially in the European SME biotech market, is no longer optional.

Visibility is not the goal. 

Impact is.
