An oncology biotech advancing a first-in-class antibody–drug conjugate (ADC) for prostate cancer sought to articulate how its emerging platform could generate differentiated value ahead of a planned reverse merger with a publicly listed company. While the Phase 1 candidate offered a novel approach to a notoriously treatment-resistant tumor type, investor skepticism centered on modality maturity, competitive density, and uncertainty about translation into solid tumors. The communications challenge was to transform a complex early-stage science story into a clear value narrative that would resonate with institutional investors and analysts evaluating the merger.

Situation
Approach
We advised creating a unified investor and scientific communications framework that made the science legible to capital markets. The story anchored around three pillars: (1) mechanistic innovation — a payload-linker architecture enabling selective tumor penetration; (2) clinical rationale — target biology validated across multiple solid tumor datasets; and (3) platform scalability — the ability to generate a pipeline of differentiated ADCs beyond prostate cancer. We produced a cohesive narrative spanning the merger press materials, investor presentation, and KOL briefing content to ensure scientific rigor was seamlessly woven into corporate disclosure. Advisory board insights and preclinical publications were timed to build external validation ahead of the transaction.

Approach
Results
By linking the platform’s translational strength to strategic optionality, the company positioned itself not just as a single-asset entrant but as a platform capable of sustaining long-term growth post-merger. The disciplined integration of scientific and investor communications reinforced valuation credibility, strengthened market reception, and allowed the combined entity to emerge with a compelling innovation narrative grounded in oncology differentiation.
