EXECUTIVE POSITIONING STRATEGY
for leaders in health, science and technology
THE REAL PROBLEM
Those leading scientific enterprises know effective communication earns valuable attention. But attention is fleeting. Without the infrastructure to convert attention into new opportunities to advance the mission, the world moves on.
Even if they land the interview.
Even if the Op-Ed gets published.
Even if the keynote earns a standing room crowd.
Attention isn’t impact.
We help scientific leaders say what only they can say — and make sure the right people hear it.
OUR FRAMEWORK
Science Relations is a framework purpose-built for scientific enterprises in industry, academia, or the nonprofit sector.
Conventional organizations treat communication as a support function: how they talk about the science, how they talk about the mission.
Science Relations treats communication as what it actually is: how you advance the mission, how you advance the science. It’s also how you capture value and ROI from your communication.
The framework is organized into clear zones of practice that integrate communication, organizational strategy, and holistic leadership support. Together they form a complete system — starting with grounding communication in your unique purpose, and harnessing it toward achieving your vision.
WHAT WE DO
Most scientific organizations communicate. Few of them are actually heard.
We close that gap — not with more content, but with deeper thinking, better placement, and coordinated presence.
In practice, that means helping you draw out the insights only your organization can contribute, refining them into points of view sharp enough to earn attention in the media your stakeholders engage with, and using that presence to open the conversations that matter: with funders, policymakers, partners, and the communities you exist to serve.
The result is an organization that doesn't just communicate well. It communicates in a way that intentionally builds the credibility, relationships, and opportunities the mission depends on.
OUR TRACK RECORD
Our co-founders have spent nearly 40 years combined working with leaders at the forefront of science, policy, and global health — contributing to the mobilization of more than $1 billion for research and programs.
Our clients have included Novartis, WHO, National Geographic, McKinsey, Columbia, Duke, and the Stop TB Partnership, among others.
WHO WE WORK WITH
We work with leadership teams that feel a deep purpose in their work and are striving to accomplish big things. We're not the right fit for organizations that are so established they've stopped feeling the need to prove themselves.
OUR IDEAL CLIENTS ARE AT LEAST SLIGHTLY INTIMIDATED BY THE SIZE OF THEIR VISION.
THIS IS WHERE IT STARTS
In a generation, science hasn't faced a more urgent need to build differently.
