Strategic communications to translate scientific excellence into commercial success

 

You may have spent years in the lab and in academia, but now it’s time to communicate with a whole new audience – pitching to investors, developing a go-to-market strategy, or building a team.

Based in the Cambridge biotech ecosystem, we act as a catalyst, working with startups, scaleups and founders to turn complex science into clear messages that can be understood by the market and multiple stakeholders.

  • Define your positioning

  • Build credibility

  • Secure investment

  • Attract talent

  • We thoroughly enjoyed working with you. In fact, it didn’t actually feel like work!

    The quality of the footage Sookio produced for Asynt is exceptional. The material we received is excellent and the ad clips are a brilliant addition to our social media portfolio.

    We were consulted throughout and any modifications were communicated beautifully.

    A massive thank you to Sookio. We thoroughly enjoyed working with you.

    In fact, it didn’t actually feel like work!

    Director Of Business Development, Asynt

  • You understand how to tie a narrative across different channels.

    We chose Sookio as we believe not only do you understand the type of person we're marketing to but also, that you understand how to tie a narrative across different channels.

    Senior Creative Executive, Contamac

  • Instrumental in making the idea accessible and lead to its acquisition.

    Sookio was instrumental in making the OpenIO Labs idea accessible and indeed lead to its acquisition. Also just a fun team with which to work; fresh, energetic, no nonsense.
