Adverum

Internal and external brand activation for an ocular gene therapy leader.

Our challenge and opportunity

Born out of a merger between two biotechnology companies, Adverum needed to articulate its evolved strategy and the promise of its pipeline. 

Following our ALIGN Methodology, Waterhouse completed a market assessment and qualitative interviews to understand the competitive landscape and perspectives of key stakeholders. Outputs of this analysis informed Waterhouse’s recommendation to Adverum: lean in on its lead pipeline asset and indications with a singular focus as an ocular gene therapy company.

A photoshoot at the Adverum headquarters captured the everyday life of employees.
