About Vault Bioventures

Vault Bioventures is a global life science consultancy focused on strategy and value creation through clinical development, commercialization, and business development. Vault specializes in discovering innovative avenues to generate revenue through every step of the value chain: from molecule to product to brand. Partnering with early-stage biotech companies, top 10 pharmaceutical companies, and healthcare venture capital firms, Vault Bioventures provides a unique value proposition to each type of company by fusing science and business to create innovative strategies. Their operational leadership experience ensures that their strategic recommendations are infused with pragmatic thinking to enact executable strategies.

Objective

Ikonic Tonic was engaged to lead the creative strategy, design and development process for refreshing Vault Bioventures’ brand, messaging, and positioning.  We were tasked with taking the lead in research and exploration, both inside and outside of pharma and biotech, to bring fresh ideas and perspectives to an industry not known for pushing the creative envelope. We were responsible for curating and designing, as well as mapping & deploying initiatives that grow and strengthen the Vault brand experience.

  • Brand refresh and identity design to create a modern, more sustainable and compelling corporate image

  • Stylizing & animating the new Vault brand across existing channels
  • Develop the road map for future strategic creative, operational, technological brand initiatives

Approach

It was critical that the refreshed brand showcased the depth of Vault’s leadership, as well as accurately reflected the business model, quickly & concisely telling the Vault Bioventures’ story, as well as highlighting the vision & strategic processes of the Vault team by creating an experiential showcase that instills the company’s key differentiators & competitive advantages over other firms.

  • Omni-channel strategy, planning, messaging, and positioning
  • Refreshed logo design, a modernized color palette, identity materials, photography, brand guidelines and presentation deck

  • Website design & development

  • Email marketing strategy, list development, & training

  • Ad campaign development and design

Results

By tearing down stigmatic, in-the-box barriers that exist in the biotech and pharmaceutical industries, we aligned Vault’s vision with a timeless, sustainable identity that included a complete brand refresh, new website design and development, messaging, positioning, video production, and set the visual, technology, and marketing standards critical for Vault to align the brand standards with their brand promise. The new brand simplified and repositioned Vault across all brand channels allowing audiences to engage in a deeper, longer look at how Vault is different in philosophy, approach, process and outcome. The visual appeal created a competitive advantage over leading firms that currently dominate the marketplace while not deviating too far from industry expectations, ultimately creating the more “edgy” sweet spot between form and function.

Ikonic’s work caught the attention of one of Vault’s clients, a Top 20 big pharma company. They were looking to examine fresh creative advertising concepts to compete against their existing agency of record. Vault and Ikonic’s strategic, creative collaboration resulted in 3 of the 4 campaigns selected for inclusion in the round of testing. Of those put into testing, two of our concepts continuously outperformed other options. Ultimately, the winning Global HCP campaign, based on strong performance across multiple markets, customer types and specialties, and in support of global brand objectives, was one produced by Ikonic Tonic in just three week’s time.

Vault brought Ikonic in to work with another of their clients in order to gain a perspective from outside the traditional biotech and pharma industry. Ikonic helped Vault and their client develop the strategy, craft the story, and connect the dots between science, finance and creative for their investor decks. From clinical data to market analysis, messaging to medical illustrations depicting mechanisms of action (MOA), Ikonic worked closely with both teams of clinical, regulatory, commercialization, and business development professionals to redefine, hone, and introduce the ground-breaking biotech company to potential investors.
