Anyone looking for a PRINT specialist AGENCY?So why would anyone look for a digital specialist agency?

In today’s media-neutral promotional marketplace, it’s surprising the cachet that agencies styling themselves as digital specialists still conjure up. While there are many of these companies to choose from, few offer the combination of digital expertise with knowledge of the oncology marketplace that we do at The Navicor Group.

What makes us different? We’re probably the best “specialist digital agency” you never heard of. And that’s because The Navicor Group has integrated digital excellence into its DNA. Our digital capabilities (cutting-edge, ground-breaking, “how did they do that” capabilities) go

beyond techy production. It’s never been just about the medium for us, but always about the message. Expertise in digital mediums is part of what makes us oncology specialists. We’ve built our set of capabilities around providing exactly what you need to sell oncology products into the oncology marketplace and to build oncology brands with oncologists—who just happen to consume digital content as naturally as they do the content of every other important channel.

The Navicor Group employs some of the best qualified and most deeply experienced digital experts around. You will find a few samples of our work in this

document and we’d be happy to share some more examples of the exciting digital projects in our portfolio with you on request.

We’ve considered digital to be an integrated part of our offering since we opened our doors. In fact, digital projects comprise about a third of our billing, and continues to grow at a rapid rate year over year.

Let the experts available to you at The Navicor Group collaborate to propose, design, and implement effective, cutting-edge digital solutions to your marketing and communication challenges.

At Navicor, it’s

Biogen Idec Oncology

Virtual Representative

Booth at ASH

For some years, Biogen Idec had been struggling to transcend its reputation as a company that could develop products but not commercialize them. In 2007 it had a wealth of exciting announcements it wanted to share with the ASH audience about its pipeline of products but was reluctant to risk unstructured discussions straying off topic and potentially imperiling the approval process. Of course, while it’s one thing to have relevant information, it is quite another to bring those data to life in ways that encourage delegates to visit the booth—especially in the absence of real, flesh-and-blood representatives!

Convinced that human presentation was key to the project’s success, the Navicor Group’s solution was to deploy four 6-foot high plasma touch-screens featuring “research scientist” avatars that would “interact” with delegates in a compelling way.

Upon approaching a panel, a visitor would see an image of the scientist working at a desk across a room.

Stepping onto a footpad triggered the avatar to walk over to the delegate in full life-size. The avatar would frame the topics for presentation on the sheet of glass—all that appeared to separate him or her from the visitor—who would simply touch the topic they were interested in hearing about. The

“company scientist” would then deliver a scripted presentation. This device served both to convey information and attract other delegates into the booth to participate. The technology worked seamlessly, and company officials considered the entire enterprise to be a resounding success.

Hemophilia is a lifelong condition that keeps many young boys from enjoying as active a lifestyle as they could due to the risk of triggering joint bleeds. So for the many children and families attending the 2009 meeting of the National Hemophilia Foundation, the ability to play a virtual Xtreme BMX video game was a fun diversion from the serious content of the congress, and proved to be a huge draw to the company’s booth. The game interface was completely envisaged, designed, and coded in-house.

There are parallels between the BMX game play and our client’s hemophilia product development program: Like the players of the game, the people at Syntonix are committed to going the distance to develop innovative products for hemophilia. They chose to develop this asset with us because they were confident in our ability to realize the project above their expectations. They were not disappointed.

The game was so successful that it is now a permanent feature on the brand website and can be downloaded to play on both Mac and Windows platforms. Again, the coding for this was done by the resident digital experts at The Navicor Group. Periodic enhancements to the game are in the works, keeping loyal customers coming back for more.

As you know, not all web sites are created equal. While these items are pretty standard fare nowadays, the mark of a superior website isn’t always immediately apparent, but emerges out of the user experience, the utility of what the site offers, and the ease of the interface.

For Lundbeck, we created the atryn.com site predominantly to provide physicians with an easy-to-use dosage calculator that took just 3 steps to simplify the otherwise very complicated adjustment for switching patients from other antithrombin medications to the benefits of Atryn. User feedback from our target audience was overwhelmingly positive.

The design of the site also allowed us to make a wealth of product information available without cluttering the appearance or compromising the site’s usability. All in all, a very clean example of how a deceptively simple looking site can produce tangible benefits from a commercial point of view.
