Science & Life Sciences
Oxford is one of the most significant science and life sciences clusters in Europe. The University, the Oxford Science Park, Begbroke Science Park and the wider Oxfordshire ecosystem have produced and attracted some of the world's most serious research organisations, biotech companies, diagnostics businesses and spinouts. Many of them do exceptional science and communicate it poorly. Design can change that.
Oxford Design Partners has worked with science and life sciences organisations on the brand identity and communications challenges that come with building a company from a research base. We understand the particular tension in this sector between scientific rigour and the need to be understood by investors, partners, regulators and the public. Good design does not simplify the science. It gives it the right frame so that the people who need to engage with it can do so.
We have worked on branding projects in life sciences, and we bring that experience to every science client we work with. We know how to ask the right questions at briefing, how to work with founders and scientific advisors who have strong views on accuracy, and how to produce design that holds up to scrutiny from both a scientific and a commercial audience.
The work we do for science companies covers brand identity and naming, website design, investor presentation design, conference and exhibition materials, scientific poster design, publications and annual reports, and the full range of print and digital communications that a growing science business needs. We can work with early-stage spinouts that need a credible identity before their first investor meeting, and with established organisations refreshing a brand that no longer reflects where they have taken the science.
Oxford's science sector operates in a global context. A biotech or diagnostics company here is competing for attention alongside organisations from Boston, Basel and Singapore. The design standard expected by investors, partners and talent at that level is high. We produce work that meets it.
If you are building a science or life sciences company in Oxford or Oxfordshire and want design that does justice to what you are working on, get in touch. We are happy to discuss where you are and what you need.
