The research enterprise of That’s Nice — Nice Insight — has grown significantly over the past seven years and now encompasses our core Nice Insight Research Services, as well as Pharma’s Almanac, which offers rich data-driven content.
Combining Content and Research
With over twenty years’ experience as a leading agency for life sciences, our aim has been to share insight across the industry, creating a community focused on quantitative research and the motivating, overarching trends behind them. To achieve this, we are merging Nice Insight’s proprietary research with our Pharma’s Almanac content forum. This new powerhouse site will serve as a unique content portal for the pharma-biotech industry with articles, news, blogs, videos and a wealth of statistics across the supply chain. The site will provide free access to industry-specific outsourcing research and will host an ongoing constructive dialogue around developments in R&D, formulation, process development, lead optimization, scale-up, processing and bioprocessing, finished dose and more.
With its extensive analysis of industry trends specific to significant and dynamic sectors of the industry, Pharma’s Almanac offers print and digital readers a fresh take on the very latest in the contract services industry, including how proven leaders are implementing new strategies. In order to elucidate the issues central to executive decision makers, we are primarily emphasizing the “leader” element of thought leadership. Our distinguished program delivers Subject Matter Expert advice to you directly.
