Investor Relations
A clinical-stage biotech developing oral small-molecule inhibitors targeting epigenetic regulators aimed to establish leadership in both oncology and metabolic disease. Its expansion into diabetes introduced a novel mechanism—β-cell regeneration via menin inhibition—but the challenge was to translate this highly technical biology into a clear, credible narrative that would resonate across scientific, regulatory, and investor audiences. The goal was to synchronize communications for upcoming investor relations milestones and major medical congress presentations.

Situation
Approach
We developed an integrated communications platform that unified scientific precision with investor relevance. The strategy centered on explaining the rationale for β-cell restoration through menin inhibition, contextualizing it within diabetes pathophysiology and its potential to modify disease rather than merely control glucose. For investor audiences, we clarified the addressable opportunity—positioning the program as a differentiated mechanism in a multibillion-dollar market dominated by symptom-management therapies. For congress and publication strategy, we emphasized translational credibility through gestational diabetes and preclinical metabolic models, ensuring consistent framing across all external touchpoints.

Approach
Results
This integrated approach advanced the company’s visibility and valuation narrative simultaneously. By aligning IR and scientific communications under one disciplined, evidence-based story, the organization reinforced confidence among analysts, investors, and KOLs alike. The clarity of its value proposition—scientifically novel yet commercially grounded—helped position the company as a credible leader in the emerging field of diabetes disease modification ahead of key clinical milestones.
