With the life science tools industry facing a 7% drop in revenues, innovation and fresh approaches are needed to hold on to your slice of the pie. I spoke with Marina Hop, Managing Director, and Gary Brooks, Creative Director at Viveo Consulting, to explore creativity in life science marketing. Our discussion focused on how creativity can be a powerful tool to not only optimize business operations but also generate new ideas to address these challenges.In a downturn, companies often retreat into operational efficiency, cutting costs and tightening the reins. However, real growth and differentiation come from creativity—an approach that not only applies to marketing but spans across the entire business strategy, product development, and even internal team dynamics.Creativity as a Key to PerformanceMarina pointed out that while companies are focused on optimizing their operations, there's a limit to how much optimization can drive growth. “The optimization side addresses the bottom line,” she said, “but creativity really addresses the top line.”I've seen the same pattern—companies cutting budgets and focusing on short-term savings. I once asked my VP of marketing why, instead of cutting back, we didn't go full throttle to take market share when our competitors were pulling back. My guests agreed on the need to push forward with disciplined creativity, even when times are tough. As Marina pointed out, Bruker—a company that has excelled in this downturn—successfully combines operational excellence with what they call "disciplined entrepreneurialism."Balancing Operations and InnovationGary elaborated on how companies often live in two worlds: the operational world of structure, metrics, and routines, and the innovation world, driven by curiosity and experimentation. He emphasized the importance of maintaining a balance between these two worlds, especially during challenging times. “When companies struggle, they revert back to the operational side because it's manageable,” he said, but added that without creativity and innovation, growth stalls.He pointed out, creativity is not just about artistic expression—it's about connecting insights to create something valuable, whether it's a new marketing channel, product innovation, or strategy.Creative Thinking in Marketing and BeyondAround here of course, we're focused on marketing creativity, and we discussed how companies could be creative not just in their messaging, but in the types of marketing they do. I suggested that creativity in marketing isn't just about making clever ads, but about exploring new ways to engage with customers—new channels, content types, or interactions. Marina agreed, saying that creativity should permeate any generative business activity, from formulating a strategy to developing a new product.One key takeaway from this part of the conversation was that creativity shouldn't be confined to one department. As Gary put it, “It's not just marketing, it's communication.” Every interaction a company has, whether with investors, customers, or even internally, is a chance to think creatively about how you present your brand.Thanks for reading! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.The Power of ObservationMarina introduced a concept that I found particularly interesting—phenomenology, the practice of observing and describing human experiences without immediately analyzing them. This practice helps stimulate creativity by encouraging people to step back, observe, and understand what's really happening before jumping to conclusions. Viveo might send teams to observe a simple activity, like how people interact in the cafeteria, and then come back and write a narrative about it.Gary emphasized the importance of observation in creative thinking, noting that many people don't take the time to observe what's happening around them. “People don't really observe people doing stuff,” he said. By focusing on observation, companies can gather insights that lead to more informed, creative solutions.One powerful example Marina shared was when Viveo worked with a client that had developed an automated sample prep system for next-generation sequencing (NGS). The company had expected this product to be a hit because it saved time and effort. But by observing how scientists actually worked in the lab, they realized the product wasn't solving the problem scientists cared most about—reproducibility. Scientists didn't mind spending extra time on manual prep because they wanted to ensure the highest quality samples for the expensive sequencing process. By shifting the marketing message to focus on quality and reproducibility rather than time savings, the company could better align with its customers' needs.Creativity as a Learnable SkillOne of the most encouraging insights from Marina and Gary was that creativity can be learned. It's not reserved for "artistic" types—it's about curiosity and observation. As Gary put it, creativity doesn't come from waiting for the “creative gods” to bless you with an idea. It's a process of grinding through ideas, experimenting, and finding connections.This process-driven approach to creativity is similar to how scientists work, which should make it especially relevant for life science companies where many marketers used to be scientists. Whether it's through exercises like observing people in the canteen or training teams to be more curious and observant in the lab, companies can cultivate creativity throughout their organization.Building a Culture of CreativityWhy not encourage creativity at every level of the organization. This includes fostering a culture of curiosity, where employees feel empowered to take risks and explore new ideas. “Safe adventures,” as Gary called them, allow teams to innovate within a structured environment where failure is a learning opportunity rather than a setback. My best boss was very good at this. I could call him with an idea and he'd say, “Let's do it.” If it didn't work as planned we just figured out why and tried something else.Establishing a culture of creativity will allow you to deliver results regardless of market conditions.Your deepest insights are your best branding.

Welcome to another brand new episode of the Long Game Podcast. In this episode, we dive into the world of content quality and the processes involved in ensuring it. Alex Birkett and Margaret Jones share their insights on the topic, providing valuable tips and tricks for maintaining consistency and improving the overall quality of content produced.Margaret suggests using checklists for different formats and areas of quality, such as brand voice and style guide, as well as regularly workshopping published content. This approach can help to maintain consistency and improve the overall quality of the content produced. She also shares their experience at a previous company where they aimed to produce the best content ever published on a topic. They used specific guidelines to achieve this goal, which resulted in high-quality content.

Here we are, about to kick 2022 to the curb. This is the time of year when we get obsessive. We've galloped through the holidays, and now we're looking toward the next thing—a new calendar filled with blank pages just waiting for us to write the story of 2023. As you're taking stock of all that 2022 was (or wasn't—I can relate), you might be itching to map out your new year or depending on your Enneagram type maybe the thought of making goals gives you hives.So how can you set yourself up to make the most of 2023 in a way that works for who YOU are? On this episode of The Leadership Formula, I will walk you through how each Enneagram Type can set some healthy intentions for the new year. I'll share the filtering questions Enneagram 2s and 3s need to ask themselves before saying YES to the next thing and which type will actually benefit from more planning. Listen in to hear which type needs to embark on an exercise plan, the two types who need to take scheduled breaks from the chaos of life, who needs to hire a coach, and who needs to spend the year shooting from the heart for more powerful connections. Going into 2023, the greatest gift you can give yourself is a compassionate new level of self-awareness. My Enneagram Blueprint can help you use the beautiful tool of the Enneagram to learn more about who YOU are at a soul level. What You Will Learn How Enneagram 1s can embrace their growth number to have more fun and even let things get a little bit messy for more fulfillment in 2023The #1 question every Enneagram 2 needs to ask themselves before they add another event or to-do to their calendarThe secret trick Enneagram 3s can do with their phones to be sure they unplug from social to connect with those they love for deeper relationships in the new yearThe easy 3-to-do personal planner that will help Enneagram 4s tap into their creativityWhy a health and exercise program is the key to helping Enneagram 5s thrive in all areas of life in 2023The two Enneagram types that need to take time away from the noise and chaos to help them get more centeredHow a coach can help Enneagram 9s be more accountable so you can take action on your goals in the new year Connect with Tracy Tracy's WebsiteTracy on InstagramTracy on FacebookTracy on TwitterTracy on LinkedInResources Purchase Your Enneagram BlueprintApply to work with Tracy Book an Enneagram Kickstart SessionEmail info@tracyomalley.com

In this episode, you'll also hear:How perspective impacts our understanding of what it means to “expect the impossible” — and why it isn't always positiveWhy childlike hope is necessary for creativityWhy you should share your negative experiences through your writing, even if you think others might not appreciate themHow to help others “expect the impossible” in only good waysThis episode is part of the Christian Authors Network global speaking competition, Speak Up. Click here to learn more and stay up-to-date on the competition!Dori Durbin: Childlike Hope & ExpectationsIs there nothing sweeter than being a writer? God has gifted you something uniquely yours, something that others even see as being difficult. And yet, despite the difficulty, your words are being crafted into power and encouragement. But if you're at all like me, you might question occasionally whether or not you really have something worth sharing with someone who's desperately seeking out hope. Even though God tells us in Jeremiah 30:20, “Write all the words which I have spoken to you in a book,” I can feel the anxiety when I'm getting ready to write. Sometimes, what I believe I should write feels too personal, too conflicted, and way too messy to be on a blank page for someone else. So I pull back and don't want to deliver. Experience Impacts HopeInstead of questioning the worth of our message, we need to consider our perspective. Perspective is defined by our experience, and our experience can build or banish hope. It's our experience that fuels whether or not we believe something can happen, either in a positive sense or a negative one.Consider, for instance, the statement “expect the impossible.” If I'm thinking about expecting the impossible and I've had a good experience that day, I can expect the impossible as something positive. I can believe that my hopes and dreams of the future can happen, because it's been a great day, and I feel that hope and sense of security.On the other hand, I may have a day where things are just not going well. One those days, “expect the impossible” seems to mean it's just not happening. Those hopes and dreams are just too far-fetched, and just aren't going to work. Just from this one statement — “expect the impossible” — there can be two exact opposite outcomes based on how you experienced the day. It sounds crazy, but it's true. Back to Childlike HopeThe same thing can happen when we write. Sometimes, we get the sense that whatever we have to say isn't strong enough, so we start to rely on our experience to provide our hope. We need to go back to childlike hope — that hope we once had where we believed that God could do anything because He wanted to do anything for us. We trusted that we could believe and achieve our dreams, because they were out there and we could grasp them. It's that same childlike faith — that blazing childlike faith! — that makes our parents worry about us into our mid-20s. But we tend to drop that as we get older, because it seems like we're being too naïve, too foolish, or too childish. We lose our sense of hope, awe, and wonder. The thing about being a child is that when you create, you don't judge what you do. You don't decide that one piece is going to determine the fate of your future. You just do it because it comes out of you and you love to create! Wouldn't it be great to get back to that? Don't Cut It Off at the CoreThe other wonderful thing about being a child is that you take in stories, and they can resonate in you deeper. You live those stories and really feel them with your heart. So now, let me tell you a story. We have several plants. They're all different kinds and different qualities of plants. Most of them were in their pots, but this one strawberry plant was jutting crazily out of the pot. And I had the thought, “I'm just going to trim this back so it looks neater and doesn't look like it's jumping out of the pot.” As I was in the process of trimming back the node, my son came out and said, “No, don't trim that back!” He knows a lot more about plants than I do, so I listened. He told me that the end piece of the strawberry plant was actually the start of a new plant. Over time, it would grow into a completely new plant. I was skeptical of what he said to do instead, because in my experience, things die when you cut them. But we planted them in a pot, and lo and behold, we had two beautiful plants within just a few days. Had I lopped it off, I would have lost the opportunity to grow a completely new plant. This experience got me thinking. How often do we take our writing and lop it off at the core to make things look better? Our experiences that we see as negative we tend to discard and decide they're not something other people need to see or will appreciate. However, I believe that those experiences are actually what God is wanting us to share with others, to show them that bad experiences don't always equal a lack of hope or expectation. When you share a bad experience that you've overcome — that has now become something that gives you hope — it's such a powerful tool to create a full expectation of the impossible in a good way. I believe that God is trying to use our stories just like that. He wants to use our words to reach directly to the readers who need to hear it. When you write something, they see it as truth, and they actually can visualize you talking directly to them. That's what God wants — that relationship. Easy Messes Influence Perspective ForeverWhen you get ready to sit down and write, remember this: Easy Messes Influence Perspective Forever. Easy: Keep it easy. Don't prejudge what God has given you.Messes: Life is a messy process.Influence: We are called to be relational to other people.Perspective: A person's negative experience can be made positive.Forever: Change doesn't happen with just one writing, but one writing can make a change in a person's mind that grows on forever.Christian authors, please know that it's not an easy process that God is taking you on. But it is an important one. You can take your ugly messes and turn them into something that changes the experience, the hope, and the expectations of someone forever. Let's help others expect the impossible in only positive ways. BIO:Dori Durbin is a Christian wife, mom, author, illustrator and a kids' book coach who after experiencing a life-changing illness, quickly switched gears to follow her dream.

Have you ever experienced a pit in your stomach? The feeling of "butterflies?" How about the heaviness of dread carried like a weight inside?Of course the stomach plays a huge role in digestion of food stuff - or at least the important beginning stages of the long digestive process. We talked all about optimizing the upper digestive processes including balancing hydrochloric acid levels in episode #337 on Medicinal Monday.The energy center of the stomach, solar plexus or 3rd Chakra, is also associated with digesting and assimilating LIFE. How we take in, feel, and integrate our life experiences to then be assimilated as creative energy to manifest our desires and purpose in life.Blockage of this digestive energy center can cause or exacerbate physiologic imbalances in the microbiome, digestive enzyme production, and peristaltic action of digestive organs that causes gut issues.Optimizing the energy of the solar plexus not only supports healthy digestive fire, but also empowers us to tap into innate creativity and wisdom to leverage our alchemical power, transforming inner experiences in service to our soul's evolution.Join the conversations live on YouTube every Wednesday: https://www.youtube.com/alterhealthSome highlights from today's WW episode on 3rd Chakra and DIGESTION...How psychologic or physiologic stress blocks vagus nerve activity to shut down stomach function and enzymatic activity necessary for digestionThe acute and chronic manifestations of stress on digestion and what we can do to ease tension in the gutEmpowering opportunities that stomach and digestive issues present to our soul's evolutionHow we can wake up the solar plexus energy center to support digestive fire and personal creativityWhy 99% of stomach and digestive issues will never be fixed with prilosec, probiotics, tums, enzymes, or any other remedy - but rather embodiment of our full multidimensional natureLinks to some more good stuff- Get weekly Meal Guides: https://www.alter.health/meal-guides- Stay connected on Telegram: https://t.me/alterhealth - Cleanse with Us during the next Alter Health Cleanse: https://www.alter.health/cleanse- Work with us in the Thrive on Plants program: https://www.alter.health/thrive-on-plants- ATTN Health Practitioners!
