The problem

A science story for a protein business.

Unibio’s story led with gas fermentation, and it reached scientists.

The next audiences needed something else. Investors needed the scale of the opportunity. Feed producers needed to see the product in practice.

The company was moving into industry applications. Its identity still belonged to the lab.

The product had to come first.

The shift

Lead with protein. Let the technology prove it.

We put the protein product at the front of every message and made gas fermentation the evidence behind it. Each audience got its own way in.

The work

Set by the leadership, carried into every channel.

We led the engagement end to end, from the leadership workshops to the launch, including the identity, the website copy and the design.

  1. 01

    Leadership workshops

    The CEO, COO, CTO and leadership team set the direction, vision, mission and values, so the protein-first story came from the top.

  2. 02

    Story and messaging

    Origin, purpose and vision stories, and a tone of voice that keeps the science credible and the product easy to grasp, carried into press, web, the investor presentation and collateral.

  3. 03

    Identity and website

    An identity for a company moving into industry, and a website written around education, partnerships and investment.

“From day one, the team at Brighter Future was ‘all in’, working closely with us to define our new vision, mission, and values.”

David Henstrom, CEO, Unibio

What changed

A story the leadership could launch.

Unibio launched the new identity with a public announcement. It said the mission, vision, values and identity work was “carried out in close collaboration with Aaron Leaman and the Brighter Future team”.

“His ability to refine and sharpen our message and communicate our story has been invaluable.”
