The creative agency for biotech companies
Open Cell Media is a creative agency producing video, photo and audio work for biotech and synbio organisations. Our media professionals work closely with Open Cell's expert scientists and researchers to ensure work is clear and validated.
We have a long history of creating large scale campaigns for international organisations and also supporting local independent designers reach a global audience.
Bigger than the Plate
Victoria and Albert Museum
Over a hundred biotech designers were exhibiting at the V&A museum in Kensington. To help audiences understand the background to one project, we created an in-depth documentary about bacteria, fermentation and using humans to grow cheese. Heston Blumenthal, Alex James from Blur, Ruby Tandoh from The Great British Bake-off, Suggs from Madness and Professor Green donated their bacteria to create their own special brand of cheese.

London Design Festival
The London Design Festival happens every summer and for 2019 and 2020, we took to the events to document the designers and capture the stories behind their work. The films are used to highlight what went on for those unable to attend but also archived and repurposed to promote the following year.

Global Biofoundries Alliance
The GBA wanted to show how they are a truely globally connected organisation and wanted a website that reflected this. As such, we designed an interactive heat map which highlighted the locations of all its members and their connections.
