Role

Repositioning Aurigene Pharmaceutical Services as a modern, science-led partner for drug discovery, development and manufacturing. I led the team connecting customer insight, brand strategy and design to create a distinctive identity for digital and wider brand touchpoints.

What I did
I led the in-house team through brand strategy and identity creation, guiding the connection between Aurigene’s business ambition, customer expectations and creative direction. The team’s research highlighted the uncertainty customers face when outsourcing critical pharmaceutical work. Reliability, speed and agility became central to the positioning, expressed through the brand idea “Relentless”. Our strategists developed the positioning and voice principles, while designers translated them into an identity built around “Velocity”, combining scientific references with a sense of movement and progress. My contribution was to guide the overall direction and quality across these disciplines. Stakeholders responded positively and adopted the new identity across multiple touchpoints, giving Aurigene a consistent and distinctive brand expression.
