Overview

Putnam Associates is a premier strategy consulting firm serving the life sciences sector, offering deep expertise across commercial access, value and pricing, medical affairs, and AI-driven analytics. Their team is known for delivering scientific and strategic excellence across the product development and commercialization lifecycle.

While their reputation was strong, their digital presence didn’t reflect their market position. The firm needed a website that aligned with its modern brand identity, showcased its thought leadership, and attracted top-tier talent — all while supporting business development and growth.

Problem, Solution, and Results

Putnam Website Redesign

The Problem

Putnam’s website wasn’t keeping pace with its brand evolution or industry influence. Key challenges included:

  • Outdated UX & Branding: The old site lacked a bold, distinctive identity and didn’t reflect the sophistication of Putnam’s work in healthcare and biotech strategy.

  • Unclear Navigation of Services: Their consulting verticals — including Commercial Access, Value & Pricing, Medical Affairs, and Analytics — were not clearly differentiated for visitors.

  • Limited Thought Leadership Visibility: Their research and insights weren’t organized or promoted effectively, limiting inbound traffic and engagement from prospective clients.

  • Recruiting Gaps: Careers content was buried or too minimal, which was a missed opportunity to attract top life sciences talent in a competitive market.

The Solution:

We designed and developed a high-performance website for Putnam that speaks directly to their dual audiences: potential clients in pharma/biotech and the elite talent they seek to hire.

  • Custom Website Design: We crafted a modern, visually impactful design rooted in trust and scientific professionalism. The use of layered imagery, interactive elements, and vibrant gradients created a sense of innovation and momentum.

  • Service Architecture & Messaging: Each consulting service was elevated with its own subpage, clear positioning statements, and relevant case examples to help decision-makers self-identify and take action.

  • Thought Leadership Integration: A dynamic Insights section was built to organize articles, event content, and publications by topic, improving both SEO and user experience.

  • Recruitment Optimization: The Careers section was reimagined with storytelling, benefits, photos, and role listings, presenting Putnam as a mission-driven employer for ambitious healthcare professionals.

  • Mobile & SEO Optimization: The site was built fully responsive with speed, accessibility, and search optimization best practices applied across all templates.

The Results:

Putnam’s new site launched successfully with measurable improvements across performance, engagement, and lead quality:

  • Stronger Digital Authority: Clearer messaging and polished design elevated Putnam’s perception among biotech and pharma stakeholders.

  • Improved Talent Acquisition: Site applications increased, supported by deeper content around company culture and open roles.

  • Greater Time on Site: Visitors now spend more time exploring consulting services, insights, and culture content.

  • Content Discoverability: Reorganized thought leadership content resulted in better rankings for long-tail keywords and increased organic search traffic.
