Design & Strategy for Research Proposals

We transform research into captivating KeyVisuals using design and strategy. By developing the Perfect Pitch, we help research teams to secure millions in funding to sustain their projects.

Does this sound familiar?

You submit your proposal, but ...

the funders often are not from the same field as you.

among hundreds of applications, your submission is often overlooked.

your research is highly complex and requires a lot of explanation.

great research does not always receive the highest attention.

... which leads to ...

it takes many attempts to get an acceptance for the pitch,

it doesn’t even come to the pitch,

your research project does not receive funding.

During the last 15 years on the market, we noticed a hidden reason for this, which one of our customers describes as follows:

"Scientists are very visually oriented. We always look at the images first before we explore the rest of a publication."

Process & Strategy

The preparation of scientific content for presentations involves more than just design. Our process begins with a detailed analysis and continues with ongoing support and reviews to help you successfully present your research.

Understand

We get to know you and your research project and thoroughly familiarize ourselves with your material. Only when we have understood not just the abstract but the entire project do we begin the conceptualization.

Conceptualize

We develop the design style, layouts, and a strategy for communicating your proposal. At the end, there is a concept that reflects your research in high quality and tells a compelling story.

Implement

The visual strategy is implemented. In line with the vision developed together during the conceptualization phase, we design covers, infographics, layouts, 3D animations, explainer videos, a website, or similar elements.

Present

After the proposal phase, we prepare you for your „Perfect Pitch“ by reviewing the dramaturgy and chronology of the pitch with you, as well as designing and providing innovative presentation concepts.

Advise

To ensure successful collaboration, we become experts and partners for your visions and concepts throughout the process. With this background, we can provide long-term support and guidance to you
