Life Science Connect Announces The Acquisition Of Industry Standard Research

Erie, PA – July 17, 2017- Today Life Science Connect (LSC), a leading B2B marketing services and engagement company, announced the acquisition of Industry Standard Research (ISR), also known as ISR Reports.

Founded in 2009 and based in Cary, North Carolina, ISR is a leading market research provider to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical services industries. Leaders in these industries purchase ISR’s research products and services to gain a competitive advantage within their own customers, markets, products, and services.

“We’ve seen the tremendous benefit that primary market research provides both our readers and our customers, and this is one more way LSC will help its customers achieve the growth and success they’re after,” stated Jon Howland, CEO of Life Science Connect. “For nearly 10 years ISR has cultivated a reputation in the industry for high quality market research, and integrating their products, services, and reputation into our own will serve LSC and our customers very well for a long time to come.  As a customer of ISR, we know firsthand the quality and attention our customers will receive from the ISR team.”

The combined company will offer best-in-class data-driven marketing and sales enablement programs to the pharmaceutical and medical device industries.

“LSC and ISR share a common philosophy regarding the value of providing quality, unbiased content,” stated Kevin Olson, CEO of Industry Standard Research. “It genuinely educates customers and enables them to make better decisions. This shared philosophy made LSC an easy, natural partner for us,” Olson continued. “LSC wins by broadening its offering, ISR wins by accessing a larger market of customers, and most importantly, our customers win by having access to quality people, products, and services in one place.”

The acquisition closed June 30, 2017.
