Berlin, MA – November 25, 2025 — Organomation is thrilled to announce that Sarah Johnson, Marketing Specialist, has been named Marketing Professional of the Year at the 2025 Life Science Sales & Marketing Awards. The prestigious award, sponsored by The Scott Partnership Ltd, was announced at a virtual awards gala on November 20, 2025.
This recognition marks a remarkable achievement for Johnson, who was previously named a finalist for the same award in 2024. Her win celebrates an exceptional year of innovation, strategic execution, and measurable impact in advancing Organomation's marketing presence within the competitive laboratory equipment industry.
"Sarah Johnson has done an exemplary job bolstering Organomation's marketing, and her enthusiasm has provided a much-needed shot in the arm to the entire company over the last four years," said David Oliva, General Manager at Organomation. "As an individual who does not have a technical background in chemistry, Sarah's ability to digest complex subject matter and combine that with high-level marketing approaches has been a joy to witness."
Driving Growth Through Innovation
Johnson's 2025 achievements demonstrate her exceptional ability to create meaningful impact across multiple marketing channels and business functions. Her accomplishments include:
Strategic Rebranding Initiative
In 2025, the company unveiled a new logo and tagline that better reflect its commitment to advancing research through innovative sample preparation solutions. The new tagline—"Accelerate Breakthrough Research with Intuitive Sample Preparation"—shifts the company's positioning from a product-centric message to a value-driven narrative that resonates with researchers and laboratory professionals. The rebrand emphasized how Organomation's nitrogen blowdown evaporators help scientists complete concentration steps faster, optimize sample preparation time, and ultimately focus on analysis and discoveries rather than equipment complexity. This brand evolution represents a significant marketing milestone, repositioning Organomation as a solutions provider committed to accelerating breakthrough research rather than simply manufacturing equipment.
Expanding Global Partnerships
Johnson played a critical role in coordinating distribution partners across Asia, helping to display Organomation equipment at major conferences in Korea, Malaysia, Japan, Taiwan, and Thailand.
Building Digital Infrastructure
Johnson spearheaded the development of a private, gated distributor resource hub on Organomation's website, replacing an inefficient system of email notifications and Google Drive files. The new platform, accessible through the company's Partnerships page, provides distributors with centralized access to marketing materials, technical documentation, and sales support resources. Her ability to identify operational weaknesses, learn new technical skills independently, and execute sophisticated web development projects exemplifies how Organomation's talented team competes effectively with much larger competitors.
Creating Engaging Lead Generation Campaigns
Johnson executed two highly successful customer engagement contests in 2025. The "Homemade Evaporator" contest highlighted improvised evaporation setups used in academic research laboratories, demonstrating the advantages of professional nitrogen blowdown systems. The "Oldest Evaporator" contest showcased the durability and longevity of Organomation equipment, generating significant engagement from long-time customers and prospects alike.
A Track Record of Excellence
Since joining Organomation nearly four years ago, Johnson has built an impressive portfolio of marketing achievements. She started in sales before transitioning to her current marketing role, giving her unique insights into the customer journey and purchasing decision process. Her work encompasses content creation across the entire customer lifecycle—from awareness-building to post-sale support—with a consistent focus on simplifying and improving the customer experience.
Johnson's contributions extend beyond traditional marketing functions. She has become a key interface between Organomation and its global distribution network, managing relationships across multiple continents and time zones. Her work has helped position the small, family-owned manufacturer—founded in 1959—as a leader in the sample preparation equipment market, competing successfully against companies many times its size.
Organomation’s marketing team was also a 2025 finalist for Marketing Team of the Year, an award which was ultimately won by VectorBuilder. Organomation congratulates the VectorBuilder team on their win.
The Life Science Sales & Marketing Awards recognize outstanding individuals, teams, and campaigns across the life sciences industry. Winners are selected by an independent panel of judges who evaluate nominees based on creativity, innovation, leadership, and measurable business impact.
"Manufacturers in the laboratory equipment space are vastly behind the times across all aspects of marketing, including brand storytelling, buyer's journey content, and lead generation," noted the nomination. "Sarah's enthusiasm and innovative approaches have helped Organomation stand out in a crowded marketplace."
Looking Ahead
This award caps a transformative year for both Johnson and Organomation. The company continues to expand its global footprint through strategic partnerships and innovative marketing, with Johnson playing an integral role in driving that growth.
"We are incredibly proud of Sarah's achievements and grateful for her dedication to advancing Organomation's mission," said Oliva. "This recognition is well-deserved, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration as we work to serve researchers and laboratories around the world."
Johnson's win follows other notable accolades for Organomation team members. In 2023, she was named a finalist for the SAMPS Young Person of the Year award, and Organomation itself was named SAMPS Company of the Year.
