The Sourcebook is not only a printed directory that is used by many of my clients, it is a broad based marketing tool that includes online marketing through medillsb.com.

“I know for certain that the Sourcebook and web site have directed new clients to me, and those connections have more than paid for the cost of the advertising.

A significant percentage of my work can be directly linked to my pages in the Sourcebook. In recent years, I’m very often told by potential clients that they first discovered my work on medillsb.com and then followed the link to my web site. This is a valuable addition to any studio’s marketing strategy and is one I will continue to use for the foreseeable future.”
“The Medical Illustration Sourcebook goes to medical art buyers who do more than click the “like” button. They hire. Based on my return on investment with the Sourcebook, I will continue to advertise in it. One phone call from a company you may have never heard of can change your work flow trajectory for years. I say this as I am working on a large project from a company I initially connected with via the Sourcebook.”
“The Sourcebook has helped me to establish my brand as a medical illustrator. I appreciate how my ads build on each other from year to year, and my images are seen by the right art buyers.”

It is a major go-to resource for medical art buyers, and I am often surprised by the calls that I get, which range from large ad agencies to national organizations seeking art for their publications.

“As a young business owner in the science/medical illustration field, the cost of a Sourcebook ad initially seemed too high. After a few years of passing up the opportunity, I decided to go for it — within 3 months of having material on medillsb.com I gained a new client and I earned back the cost of the ad. My business continues to grow (knock on wood), and I attribute this largely to having my work in the Sourcebook, and on respected, easily searched sites like medillsb.com.”
“I’ve been a part of the Medical Illustration Sourcebook since it began in 1984. I’ve loved watching the book, the market and the illustrators flourish and develop. The program has allowed me to find my own identity as an illustrator and to develop a style that I truly find joy in executing.”
