Project

BIO Branding, Marketing, and Conferences

SOLUTION

When Brightline Strategies invited MeanGreen to provide video solutions for their biggest client to-date, we had no idea the engagement would last ten years. With a seat at the table from the very beginning, we worked seamlessly with the agency to support BIO’s evolving communications needs.

Challenge

Develop brand message platforms that resonate with the diverse constituency of the world's largest trade association representing the biotechnology industry. Add life and humanity to strategic message points written by committee to produce engaging content.

Results

MeanGreen is proud to have worked with the world's largest trade association representing the biotechnology industry for ten years to create marquee brand videos, creative content for advertising, marketing, lobbying, and educational initiatives, and even larger-than-life graphics for digital signage at annual conferences across the country. In that decade, the organization grew in size and stature, reinforcing its position as the voice of the biotechnology industry.

Purpose

Showcase BIO as an essential leader and champion of the biotechnology industry. Disambiguate BIO’s advocacy organization from its annual international conference.

SOLUTIONS

Helping heal, fuel, and feed
the world

BIO is the world's largest trade association representing biotechnology companies, academic institutions, state biotechnology centers and related organizations across the United States and in more than 30 other nations. BIO members are involved in the research and development of innovative healthcare, agricultural, industrial, and environmental biotechnology products.

Many interests, one voice

With such a range of industries under one tent, finding a unifying message was essential. BIO asked Brightline to craft a communications strategy and message platform that would resonate across its diverse member, conference, and external constituencies. MeanGreen was engaged to help bring these ideas to life.

We are BIO

At the center of BIO’s rebranding strategy was the creation of a new brand anthem video. To present BIO as a peer of the Fortune 100 and 500 companies they represent, the creative needed to look and feel more like an ad for a global brand than a traditional trade association video. We viewed scores of reference videos and ads, identifying a handful of styles, techniques, and concepts for inspiration in our creative kickoff with the agency and client teams. The group brainstorm landed us on a unique and innovative approach that everyone was excited to see developed further.

Perfectly aligned with our project and our mission – you’ve become an extension of our team.

How we did it

Our creative brief and north star was to create a visually stunning representation of BIO’s proud legacy and an even brighter future, our eyes were drawn to reference work featuring 3D animation. We took a two-pronged approach - first directing the subjects to deliver scripted talking points written with a technical bent, then pivoting to a more casual discussion of their area of expertise to capture the same ideas but with less industry-speak. By interweaving the two delivery styles within the video, the overall effect was a technical, yet accessible message to BIO’s diverse membership base.

PRODUCTION NOTES

Bringing the creative vision to life while accommodating BIO’s logistical requirements meant wrangling six association leaders, six industry executives, and a production crew of fourteen for filming on a single day in a makeshift studio on a vacant floor in BIO’s Washington, DC headquarters.

FUN FACT

To introduce and celebrate the updated brand, all of the 3D objects in the “We Are BIO” brand video were constructed using only the new BIO logo “leaf” element.
