SCORRcast

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude about life sciences, is your company the answer, or is your competitor?

In Part 1 of this SCORRcast episode, SCORR Marketing’s Tim Harkleroad (Director of Marketing Analytics & Digital Strategy) and Marc Bacon (Development Director) explain generative engine optimization (GEO). They cover what it is, how it differs from SEO, and why life science companies can’t afford to wait. If AI can’t find your content, it fills in the gaps with old press releases, competitor comparison charts and Reddit threads.

You’ll learn:
 ✔ What GEO is and why it covers far more than your website
 ✔ How GEO and SEO overlap, and where they differ
 ✔ The risks of being misread or left out of AI answers
 ✔ What a GEO audit checks, from AI readiness to robots.txt
 ✔ How to balance scientific language with AI-friendly structure
 ✔ Why schema markup and llms.txt files are quick wins

Why do so many life science brands blur together? On the first episode of the SCORRcast, SCORR Marketing's Chief Creative Officer Ben Rowe and Senior Art Director Drake Sauer talk about differentiation. They cover why a typically conservative industry like life sciences ends up in a "sea of sameness," and what it takes to get out.

Ben and Drake explain why bold branding starts with strategy: a clear value proposition, the voice of the customer and a hard look at competitors. They walk through how IDDI built a memorable brand around the patient story instead of just the data. They also take on the questions life science marketers ask most:

• Will bold visuals hurt scientific credibility?
• How do you grow into an aspirational brand without overpromising?
• How do you expand beyond a specialty you're known for without losing the share of voice you already have?

They also get into standing out at trade shows (even from a 10x10 booth), turning employees into brand champions, and using thought leadership to keep a bold brand human. They close with one tip each for anyone planning their next brand move.

As Drake puts it: strong and wrong beats boring and safe.
