Strategy in the Medical Sector

Working on strategy in the medical and pharmaceuticals sector requires knowledge and understanding of current and innovative clinical and medical practices, sympathy towards the relationship between public and private practice, the ability to navigate government and regulatory body practices at both national and global level and the tenacity to drive change through brand programs at the product level and institutionally. We have worked on multiple initiatives in this sector.


Human Autocell: Bridge to Transplant for Liver Failure

Human Autocell Limited, a UK medical devices manufacturing group acquired the patents and assets of a German medical device startup in 2014 which had developed a procedure and 3D scaffold for extracting liver cells from patients with liver cirrhosis in an autologous procedure. The liver cells were then implanted on the scaffold and grown in the laboratory before reinsertion to provide supplementary liver growth. 75 patients were treated in this way. Human Autocell has retained TaoSquare for the past 3 years to align its business strategy to bring the technology to market through brand alignment. Activities included a research phase, interviews with senior management and industry experts, attendance at conferences before formulating a strategic plan,  a brand positioning, brand tools were then developed including offer documents for fundraising, a website and brochure and brand assets for the company.
