Reimagined HCP Experience for Celgene’s Oncology Pipeline
For Celgene, the online challenge wasn’t visibility. It was vitality. Its oncology pipeline website, ResearchOncology.com, functioned more like a pass-through than a destination, despite featuring an exciting R&D program. Key metrics revealed a pattern of fleeting interaction. Physicians were arriving but not staying to explore the site and engage with its content.
Our objective was to convert “drive-by” traffic into active engagement and enduring clinical interest. Our strategy was to redesign ResearchOncology.com around how physicians actually consume information: quickly, selectively, and with a clear purpose.
First, we made content more relevant and personalized. We tailored pathways and messaging to different specialties, interests, and stages of engagement so that each visit felt immediately useful
Second, we repackaged content to be current and concise. By breaking down dense material into digestible modules, highlights, and summaries, we respected doctors’ time constraints without sacrificing scientific rigor
Third, we simplified the experience through a more intuitive and elegant navigation system. Our streamlined UX helped users move seamlessly among pipeline molecules, clinical trials, and educational resources
Finally, we made content work harder by driving action across channels. We embedded clear next steps, surfaced related resources, and tightened connections between on-site content, video, and sign-up opportunities
Visually, we refreshed the high-science look & feel but anchored it to something new: human portraiture. The goal was to part the curtain to reveal the people behind the pipeline, and more importantly, to share their inspiring vision of a more hopeful future for patients with cancer.
The result was a cohesive ecosystem for ResearchOncology.com designed not only to inform but also to engage, guide, and convert. Its success was proven by strong metrics post launch:
196% increase in average time on site
83% increase in video conversions
82% increase in return visitors
25% increase in pages per session
11% increase in organic traffic
55% decrease in bounce rate
