Designed to support your objectives

While branded content can support a number of different objectives, here are three engaging narrative themes for you to consider:

  1. PEOPLE: Showcase your team, your commitment to talent, or your organization’s leadership by giving a personal insight into research, strategy, or employee or student life.
  2. PLACES: Look behind the scenes at your research-based organization with an institutional profile, highlighting achievements and innovations, while raising awareness of new research, faculty, and state-of-the-art facilities and reinforcing your long-term commitment to a field or topic.
  3. IDEAS: Demonstrate your organization’s thought leadership by educating the global scientific community about important advances and issues. Or distill the findings of a published paper or white paper into a short, accessible research digest article. Aligning your brand with progress and solutions.

 


 

How it works

  1. Creation: Our custom media team partner with you to understand your objectives, messages, audiences, and any interview sources. Our team craft a compelling article for you through a collaborative process where you review the article at several stages.
  2. Launch: Your branded content is published on our platforms, alongside our own news and research content, on a date of your choosing.
  3. Promotion: Your content is promoted by our marketing teams, leveraging our journals’ reach in the global scientific community, and ensuring you reach your desired audience.
  4. Reporting: Following your marketing campaign, you receive a reach and engagement report for your branded content.
  5. Additional: To keep connecting with your audience, you can serialize your story into a series of articles, videos, or webinars — and even collate your content on a bespoke ‘Collections’ page.  You can also publish your branded content within Nature’s special features and request PDF layouts and reprints of your branded content.
