Style manual created for the already existing Agenus brand.

Visual Communications Approach

Consistency in visual aids was key to achieving visual unity and enhancing the understanding of scientific storylines across all presentation materials for both internal and external audiences. A unique graphic style was defined for each subsidiary company’s brand to differentiate overlapping storylines.

The introduction of purple and gradient colors provided an opportunity to differentiate the brand in a space saturated with repetitive color schemes.

For websites, social media campaigns, and virtual events, more vibrant colors and motion graphics were introduced to capture attention and break down dense information into more digestible and appealing pieces.

My Role

As in-house Creative and Digital Manager, I lead the creative department, integrated by in-house and freelance designers and developers, working collaboratively with multiple departments across the organization. I directed and executed visual communications for web and UI, video, profile photography, social media, editorial, print, and diverse digital needs.

Better integration with third party services that don't have API implementation was a must. I ideated web implementations, such as dynamic header and footer menus, for a seamless integration with the investor site and the HR portal. Additional implementations were necessary to establish versatile logistics to support the fast-paced communications needs.
