And creativity is key

About us

We work with bioscience companies to create effective communications that enable their story to cut through the noise.

One of us is a scientist. Two of us aren’t. And it’s an unusual
combination that sets us apart. It means we get what makes a
scientific audience tick without forgetting they’re people too.

A scientist by training, I started my career in a lab. The work was always
interesting but what really intrigued me was how a large proportion of
technically successful projects never became thriving, commercial products.

What I wanted to know was how do you make a product or service successful?

This curiosity inspired me to get involved with new ventures and strategy
consulting. This led me into strategic marketing, and eventually to GE Life
Sciences where I successfully ran the marketing operations and campaign team.

Gary Brooks
Copywriter

Why do people buy one brand over another? That’s always fascinated me.

Once art school was behind me, I was fortunate to work as a copywriter in
several of London’s top marketing and advertising agencies. During this
time many outrageously talented people taught me how to create ideas that
would power the growth of a brand.​

This has allowed me to deliver ideas right across the full marketing mix,
from TV adverts to experiential, social content to website.

Chris Rambridge
Art Director

I kicked-off my career as an Art Director in one of London’s leading direct
marketing agencies. During this period I worked in many blue-chip clients and
picked up an award or two. This was followed by a couple of years working in
New Zealand for a global agency network.​

So what does it take to build and maintain a successful brand? It’s a challenge
that continues to inspire me.

But the depth and breadth of experience I bring comes with the skills needed
to create powerful ideas that always catch the eye.

  • Our business engaged Viveo to help us launch two new products which lead to Marina working with us on a variety of strategic, organisational and commercial projects. She became part of the team, it didn’t feel like we were working with a consultant.

    Louise Hagbard, Marketing manager, Biolamina.

  • Our goal was to understand the current customer experience of our e-shop users. We commissioned Viveo to lead this research. Not only did Marina provide us with great insights, she was always available to brainstorm how to improve the customer experience based on her findings. Thanks Marina!

    Stefanie de Roquancourt, E-Commerce Lead, Tecan.

  • The team at Viveo supported the creation of our sub brand, which we considered a tough undertaking due to the complexity of our offering and limited knowledge of our audience’s needs. Viveo were very patient with us and cleverly teased out the info they needed to build a punchy, clear and quite unique brand. Thanks again Viveo team.
