Finding the Ideal CGT Marketing Partner.
By Gianna Troppy
Current Trends in CGT Marketing
The landscape of marketing within the Cell and Gene Therapy (CGT) industry is undergoing a profound transformation, presenting both opportunities and challenges for companies seeking to establish a foothold in this dynamic sector. The CGT sector has been defined and fueled by rapid advancement in technology and research, which has led to blockbuster successes like CAR-T cell therapy to treat liquid tumors. As a result, this growing industry has witnessed increasing market demand and investment. The expansion of indications for CAR-T to solid tumors and autoimmune disorders, and new investigational modalities like CAR-NK have resulted in surging competition within the market as more and more companies enter the space. Trends in the crowded landscape are shifting quickly, further complicating an ever-changing regulatory environment. The recent FDA black-box warning on all six approved CAR-T therapeutics regarding secondary T-cell malignancy underscores the regulatory challenges that companies in this field must navigate.
In this densely competitive environment, companies vying for market share face challenges in distinguishing themselves and earning credibility.
In this densely competitive environment, companies vying for market share face challenges in distinguishing themselves and earning credibility. The deluge of new literature and data coupled with claims touting “the next cure” or “better and faster” products creates confusion and skepticism among consumers and stakeholders. The end result is an information overload and the potential to erode confidence in the integrity of CGT technologies and the companies supporting them. From small biopharma firms to industry giants and service organizations like Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations (CDMOs), the need for tailored and sector-specific marketing strategies has become essential. Building trust, effectively differentiating oneself in the CGT landscape, and convey value are critical.
The Need for an Informed Marketing Partner and Qualities to Seek
The foundation of the CGT industry is rooted in the advancements made in antibody and small molecule therapeutics. The development and commercialization of these traditional biologics have provided invaluable knowledge, processes, and infrastructure that continue to drive progress in the field today. At the same time, the unique characteristics and complexities of CGTs mean that not all approaches are transferable, sparking the need for new innovations and tailored solutions. The same is true for CGT marketing strategies — traditional marketing firms often rely on tactics borrowed from other life sciences sectors or therapeutic areas, but this “one-size-fits-all” approach falls short in accurately capturing the nuances of CGT products and effectively communicating their value to stakeholders.
The stage has now been set for a new era of CGT marketing, and choosing the right marketing partner is a strategic advantage that can greatly help to navigate an increasingly crowded space. CGT marketing demands distinct and innovative narratives that need to capture and convey complex scientific concepts clearly to a highly educated and science-literate audience. In this fiercely competitive arena, a misstep in your marketing strategy not only risks underperformance but also jeopardizes your return on investment (ROI). When selecting the right marketing partner, it is essential to consider specific qualities and factors that contribute to success.
A marketing partner with a proven track record of success and a solid industry reputation will be able to create effective marketing strategies that authentically communicate a company’s position and messaging.

Scientific expertise, coupled with the ability to navigate regulatory complexities and understand target audiences, business drivers, and market trends, enables a nimble marketing approach in an industry that is defined by rapid evolution. Prioritizing transparency and effective communication fosters collaboration while honest feedback can pre-emptively head off potential hurdles, mitigating delays and ensuring successful execution. Ultimately, choosing the right partner significantly contributes to building credibility and trust in this highly competitive and emerging market.
