For Scientists by Scientists. Content that Moves a Scientific Audience.
About Biotech Animated
Who We Are
Founded in January 2015—the Biotech Animated team are dedicated and incredibly creative communicators who are driven to produce high-caliber content that delivers powerful results. We choose work that ultimately improves lives and are proud to support organizations that are advancing therapeutics, diagnostics, medical devices, and biomedical research.
What We Do
Biotech Animated works with biotech and pharma companies translating complex scientific concepts into easy to understand video marketing campaigns. Through clear and attractive visual communication, cleverly constructed narration, and compelling messaging, our productions are among the most actionable scientific animation works available.
The results our 100+ successfully completed productions have generated speak for themselves. We have helped numerous clients obtain funding, win awards, get featured in leading scientific journals and national television, and generate hundreds of high value sales.
Why Choose Us
Our global reach translates into diverse market experience. We have direct access to the global biotechnology hubs in the US and the UK and we capitalize on the diverse market experience we have to synthesize novel ideas and marketing solutions.
Our hard data and analytics show that a clear and well-presented message creates better results than the most sophisticated production delivering only mediocre ideas. We understand that engagement and persuasion are not significantly correlated with how extravagant a final production is as long as the underlying message is sound. This philosophy means we can deliver tremendous value to all types of clients, from academic labs to well-funded pharma.
Our greatest asset is the collective brain-power of our team. We not only quickly grasp a company’s complex technology, we know what to say and how to say it in a way that speaks directly to other scientists as peers. We speak science and are steeped in the culture of science, and are dedicated to clearly communicating our client’s message to the world.
What We Do
Messaging Strategy
We take time to understand the points of contact you have with your market and how our production will fit in, delivering a unified, coordinated and highly effective message.
Content Creation
From start to finish, we provide unapparelled scientific support and guidance during your project. We take your technical concepts and create you powerful and persuasive content.
Conversions
The point of your production is not to look pretty (although of course it will) but to SELL an idea. No other biomedical company understands this like us. Over the last decade we've developed a proven formula backed by hard data and analytics.
3D Animation
We create world-class 3D molecular biology and biomedical animation to captivate your audience and sell them on your science. Take a look at our portfolio for examples. We'll let our previous production results speak for themselves.
3D Illustration
We use the 3D models created during the animation process to extract high-end and high resolution still images that you can use in your offline marketing material.
2D Animation
We can also incorporate 2D scientific animation which effectively conveys your scientific message whilst being cost effective, and at the same time makes the production match perfectly with the branding and colors you already have on your website.

Here is just some of our client feedback
"Working with Biotech Animated has been a great advantage for Abcore. It has allowed us to work with marketing experts who are interested in the success and growth of our company, without having to hire additional employees. Abcore can go to Biotech Animated with ideas of marketing campaigns we are thinking about starting, budget them accordingly, and focus on executing the campaigns as quickly and efficiently as possible.After our initial meetings, they were completely up to speed on our technology, even going beyond the materials we provided to them to have full knowledge of our subject. In my opinion it is the best option for a smaller company that is focused on growing quickly. I would strongly encourage others to work with Biotech Animated. I do not think there is a faster, or more efficient way for an emerging company to go from idea to fully executed and optimized production."

DAVID BARRACLOUGH, CEO OF ABCORE, SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA
“Biotech animated were very professional in their approach and brought strong scientific skills and experience in translating messaging to the project. We were very happy with the result and the animations were cost effective in comparison to other providers we approached.”
KATHY HARRISON, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF DIMERIX LTD, MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA
“Biotech Animated were professional and efficient in delivering very high quality videos. My favorite elements are the 3D labeled antibodies! Our whole team loved the videos, they have enabled us to refresh our branding and have helped our audiences engage with us on YouTube further.
It was very useful to work with professionals who understand complex scientific concepts, and we would recommend their company for the quality and speed of final work delivered. I would highly recommend working with Biotech Animated because I had a very positive experience of working with Biotech Animated from start to finish. They really took the messages we wanted to convey on board and translated our brief into very high quality 2D and 3D videos.”
KLAUDYNA JOHNSTONE, MARKETING MANAGER, INNOVA BIOSCIENCES, CAMBRIDGE, UK
"Biotech Animated has a great team of marketing experts as well as scientists that understand our processes and are able to explain them in a clear, distilled message. Our finished product helps us to quickly explain our technology in way that fits a broad audience. The results look great and have become part of our constant outreach to both collaborators as well as investors. Their team clearly understand the biotech industry and how to present an understandable message that conveys a very complex understanding of our technology.I would recommend the Biotech Animated to anyone wanting to create a concise message regarding their technology, but the value to small companies like ours is great. Without having to hire consultants and marketing experts over a long period of time, and for a very reasonable budget, we were able to create together a great piece that provides value to our message."

EDDIE SULLIVAN, CEO OF SAB BIOTHERAPEUTICS, SIOUX FALLS, SOUTH DAKOTA
“We needed a video to explain and demonstrate some complex technology that we have developed in the DNA field, and we approached Biotech Animated for help. From the beginning of the process they were very engaged, understanding the principles of the technology and suggesting innovative ways to illustrate the key concepts. The project has a short deadline and they acted quickly and were prompt and helpful when we requested a series of small changes. The final product was truly excellent and it was a key element in helping us to win a major competition.”
TOM BROWN, PROFESSOR OF NUCLEIC ACID CHEMISTRY, DEPARTMENTS OF CHEMISTRY AND ONCOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD, UK
“As part of our company website revamping process, our CEO charged us with producing a series of short videos to highlight our company and programs. We were fortunate to get a referral from our web designer firm to the talented team at Biotech Animated. They quickly assessed our needs and provided sample products from previous clients, as well as rough mock ups specific to our project.
Once we had a contract in place, their talented script writer Pia worked with us to assemble video scripts and then story boards. Once the story boards were finalized, the animation phase moved quickly to produce three separate videos that are visually stunning and tell our stories well.
Biotech Animated is a unique group of people that should be the go to group for producing biology-related videos for pharmaceutical and biotech companies of any size. We would happily use their services again.”
DIANA PRICE, SENIOR DIRECTOR OR NEUROSCIENCES, NEUROPORE THERAPIES, SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA, USA
“This was our first video, and we wanted a tool to effectively convey a complex story. Biotech animated “got it” and guided us through a dynamic development process to produce an excellent production that really differentiates us and our technology. The Biotech Animated team quickly understood what we wanted to achieve and delivered a great product on time and on budget.
The Biotech Animated team understands science and biotech, so communication is direct and effective – no wasting time bringing designers up to speed. We were delighted with the final productions and the flexible approach that Biotech Animated had. In the first instance the video will support conference presentations and later on it will feature on our website. Great product, dynamic process, cost effective and pleasant to work with.”
JAMES CAMPBELL, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF PATRYS LIMITED, MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA
Biotech Animated understood the concept behind our product. Our team’s response to the video they created was very positive. We needed only minor adjustments before accepting the final version. The video was an excellent touch at IMMUNOLOGY 2017, one of our main annual conferences. It is also helping with our product-specific webpages and marketing material.
Biotech Animated did excellent background research before presenting a proposal. They also arranged a thorough discussion before proceeding with the project, had excellent understanding of the scientific concept of the product, were very responsive to suggestions during development, and gave a fair price. Thanks a lot to the entire team. Hopefully this won’t be our only project!
