Biotechnology and start-up companies that are growing quickly do not always have the resources or need to employ full-time market research staff.  Without full-time market research staff much time can be wasted trying to find out how to best and most cost effectively answer your business questions. 

Colburn & Associates can provide your company with the level of marketing research support that you currently need.   With over 25 years of experience in market research and business information services we can provide your company with the same level of support services that you get in the top 'big pharma' companies without investing in full-time staff.

As your company grows we can assist you in making a smooth transition to a full-time department and we can even assist you in identifying the right people for your organization.

 

We can support for your company on a project-by-project or consulting basis so you get the maximum ROI for your spending. 

Paul Colburn, President of Colburn & Associates since 1995, has extensive experience managing and building marketing research departments and providing support and information services for senior management.  Paul was Director of Market Research and New Business Assessment at Glaxo from 1986 to 1995 and also worked at Dupont Pharmaceuticals (Endo, Dupont-Merck) in various marketing information and business development positions from 1980 to 1986.  Paul has a BS in Pharmacy from Northeastern University and an MBA from Drexel University.  Paul was past-president and vice president of PMRG (www.pmrg.org) which is the national pharmaceutical market research industry association.  Paul is currently on the board of directors of this organization and is well known within the pharmaceutical market research community.
