Defining Anton Paar’s Challenge

Anton Paar wanted to showcase themselves as a market leader and innovator in several niche application areas, measuring zeta-potential. Specifically, they needed to demonstrate to potential buyers the capabilities and value propositions of three different highly complex instruments, all used in similar application areas. C&EN was tasked with solving these questions from the team:

1
How can we enhance our image and improve our positioning in multiple verticals?
2
How do we target the right audience?
3
What's the right format for engaging our target audience online?

Our Approach to Demonstrating Product Capabilities:

Content & Case Studies

Demonstrate How Your Products Solve Problems.

C&EN BrandLab developed an article that covered both academic and industrial uses of the measurements, and why zeta-potential measurements are critical for fundamental research, technology creation and consumer product quality control.

Leverage Subject Matter Experts to Validate Your Points.

C&EN BrandLab interviewed subject matter experts, including scientists at Anton Paar, customers of the company, as well as those in academia. These difference perspectives created a credible and authoritative piece of brand journalism.

Complement the Content with a Multi-Faceted Campaign.

C&EN leveraged multiple digital channels to find the niche audiences that Anton Paar was targeting, developing a far-reaching distribution campaign that spanned C&EN platforms, social media, search, and more.

“A great new piece developed by C&EN for Anton Paar USA. Very readable and interesting discussion on zeta- potential, and how it applies to skin care products, water treatment, and infection prevention.”
Jeffrey Linka, Marketing Manager at Anton Paar USA
