About Molecular Designs
Molecular Designs is a doctor-founded biotech company focused on advancing molecular diagnostics. They specialize in developing low-waste, easy-to-use multiplex assays that empower providers and researchers with actionable molecular data.

Challenge
Molecular Designs needed a scalable ad strategy to identify the most effective acquisition channels for both their diagnostic services and Lambda Biotech eCommerce division. The key objective was to maximize lead generation while keeping acquisition costs efficient.
Solution
Peddle ran structured channel tests across LinkedIn and Google Ads. For Molecular Designs, LinkedIn performed strongly with a 60% match rate, generating two new customers and validating the channel as a growth driver. For Lambda Biotech, LinkedIn underperformed (<5% match rate), so the strategy pivoted to Google Ads and Shopping campaigns. These delivered high-intent clicks at lower costs, and Lambda is now refining landing pages to improve conversion rates.
