The problem we solve

Recruitment is the number one reason trials run late

Site-only recruitment relies on databases that thin out fast and referral networks that move slowly. We put studies in front of the general population through paid digital channels, then apply clinical-grade screening before a single referral reaches your site — so coordinators spend their time on bookable candidates, not unqualified enquiries.

Direct-response media, done by specialists

A decade of paid social and search experience in regulated Australian industries. We build, run and optimise Meta, Google and programmatic campaigns against cost-per-randomisation, not vanity metrics.

Ethics-ready creative & funnels

Ad copy, landing pages and screening quizzes drafted for HREC submission from day one. We manage revisions through approval so launch isn’t held up.

Phone triage on every applicant

Every applicant is pre-screened by phone against the protocol’s key criteria before referral. Sites receive candidates who understand the study and are ready to book.

Referral & booking management

Warm handover to site teams, booking coordination, reminder sequences and no-show follow-up — so referrals convert into screening visits.

Transparent reporting

Weekly funnel reporting from impression to randomisation: spend, applications, pre-screen pass rate, referrals, bookings and screen fails, by site and by channel.

AU & NZ coverage

Campaigns geo-targeted to your site footprint across Australia and New Zealand, including regional catchments and multi-site coordination.
