Managing Director
Whether strategy, campaign, or digital product – if you want to communicate complex topics clearly, we look forward to the conversation.
Science communication
Science communication that can withstand pushback.
Being understandable is the easy half.
When a topic is contested, clarity alone isn't enough.
Research that needs communicating is often already contested before the first sentence is written: new study findings, political stakes, uncertainty in the details. The material then has to be not just understandable, but able to withstand pushback without becoming dishonest.
We work for research institutions, federal agencies, and scientific institutes whose topics fall exactly into this category: zoonotic disease research, population health, biodiversity.
What we do
Scrollytelling & data-driven formats
Long studies and datasets as a guided, scrollable narrative — for lay audiences and specialists alike.
Communications strategy for studies
From publication through to conveying it to policymakers, press, and the public — coordinated with embargo, audiences, and timeline.
Accessible means: from the start
Plain language, alt text, contrast, and screen-reader compatibility are part of the concept, not a mandatory afterthought.
Data visualization of complex relationships
Infographics and diagrams that correctly show uncertainty and scale, instead of smoothing them over.
Handling pushback
Objections, open questions, and competing interpretations are mapped before publication, not answered for the first time in the comment section.
Science journalism & media relations
Accessible material for newsrooms that have to report on complex research under time pressure.
How we work
01
Clarifying the question and audiences
Who needs to understand, who needs to agree, who will push back — that determines format and tone.
02
Mapping pushback
Gathering objections, open questions, and competing interpretations before the first sentence is written.
03
Developing the format
Scrollytelling, explainer video, or infographic — whatever the material and audience need.
04
Reviewing and sharpening
Expert review and comprehensibility testing before anything is published.
From practice
Three institutes, three different topics — zoonotic disease research, biodiversity, population health.
German Primate CenterScrollytelling that explains zoonotic disease research for policymakers and the publicView project →
LeopoldinaScrollytelling "15 Answers to 15 Questions on Biodiversity"View project →
Robert Koch Institute / BMGCommunications strategy for the study "Health in Germany"View project →
How projects are scoped
A single explainer format can be produced in a few weeks. A communications strategy that accompanies a study runs over months, from concept to publication. Ongoing science communication for an institute is a year-long undertaking with recurring formats.
The price depends on scope and duration
In the first conversation, we place it using comparable projects. Describe your project
Great ideas start with a conversation.
