At Prose, we know every life sciences brand’s needs are unique—and so are their marketing budgets. Whether you're promoting a new treatment, advancing clinical trials, or establishing thought leadership, we’ll create a custom quote that fits your goals. From startups to leading research institutions, we offer flexible marketing solutions for any budget.
Typical budget range & expected ROI
Our life sciences clients generally invest between $3k and $30k per month in marketing services. But think of marketing as more than a cost—it’s a vital investment in growing your brand and driving innovation. Aiming for a 5X ROI is a solid goal, meaning for every dollar spent, you should see five dollars in return. Many of our clients in life sciences, including biotechnology and pharmaceuticals, achieve returns as high as 10X, making marketing a powerful tool for growth and industry leadership.
What factors affect pricing?
Pricing depends on several key factors, including:
- Talent expertise and seniority: This is the biggest factor. Rates depend on the experience and specialization of the pros working on your campaigns. Our network includes over 1,000 rigorously vetted pros, with hourly rates typically ranging from $75 to $250. We’ll always match you with the best talent for your budget. Project type: Whatever service(s) you’re looking for — e.g., strategy, content creation, PR, SEO, digital ads, staffing, AI solutions, design, branding, videos, sales, or translation — each has its own pricing structure and ballpark ranges.
- Scope and duration: Larger or ongoing campaigns often come with volume discounts, allowing you to maximize your marketing budget over multiple projects.
Try before you commit: trial projects
Not ready for a full commitment? Start with a trial project. It’s a low-risk way to experience our marketing expertise before making a larger investment. Please inquire about potential discounts for introductory trial projects.
Three flexible payment models
When you’re ready to take your marketing to the next level, we offer three flexible payment options:
- Monthly Retainer: Ideal for ongoing needs, this option locks in discounted rates and ensures your marketing efforts stay in sync with your research, development, or product launch timelines.
- Open Purchase Order (PO): Set a budget for 6–12 months and tap into it as needed. Perfect for companies with evolving projects, trials, or campaigns. Discounts apply.
- Ad Hoc: Great for one-off campaigns like launching a new drug, increasing visibility at a biotech conference, or promoting a clinical trial, this à la carte option offers custom quotes with no long-term commitment.
We’ll help you select the payment model that best suits your needs. Rates can be based on hours, flat fees, or a combination, depending on the scope of your project.
