Biotech companies often face the challenge of communicating complex scientific concepts in a way that’s easy for a wider audience to understand. Design and animation play a critical role in addressing this by transforming intricate processes into visually engaging, digestible content. For example, animated explainer videos can illustrate how specific drugs target cancer cells or how gene editing works, breaking down the science into easily understood visuals. This combination of storytelling, clean design, and animation not only simplifies complex topics but also captures attention quickly, encouraging visitors to stay longer on the site. As a result, many biotech companies seek out animation studios to bring clarity and engagement to their digital presence.
Animations enhance user engagement by guiding visitors through the content, helping to convey key messages efficiently. This dynamic approach improves user experience by making the website more interactive and memorable, increasing the likelihood of users returning.
Flare Therapeutics is a biotech company focused on targeting transcription factors to create precision medicines, with its lead drug FX-909 in early clinical trials for bladder cancer. We rebranded Flare with bold typography, unique 3D visuals to showcase their scientific approach, and developed strong graphics to visually differentiate them in the biotech landscape. Additionally, we created a comprehensive visual brand guide to maintain consistency across all media. See full site
Normunity is a biotech company focused on developing innovative immunotherapies that target immune system regulation. Their approach aims to unleash natural immune responses to combat diseases, particularly cancer, by disrupting immune suppression pathways rather than directly targeting tumors. Their work emphasizes the concept of “normalizing” the immune system, hence the name “Normunity.”
SAC Designs crafted the website, integrating seamless animations and cohesive brand elements throughout. We established a strong visual identity, enhancing the user experience and effectively communicating Normunity’s mission and innovative approach. See the full site
Halda Therapeutics’ website design effectively mirrors its innovative approach to cancer treatment. The site features a sleek, modern aesthetic with a dark, professional color scheme and high-quality visuals. This design choice reflects the precision and sophistication of Halda’s scientific research. Key sections such as “Our Science” and “Our Pipeline” use interactive elements and graphics to illustrate their RIPTAC™ platform’s “hold and kill” mechanism, enhancing user understanding of this complex technology. Overall, the design supports Halda’s narrative of pioneering a novel, targeted therapeutic approach, aligning with their mission to transform cancer care with cutting-edge treatments like HLD-0915, which is advancing towards clinical trials for metastatic prostate cancer.

After five years of collaboration at the Cvent Connect tradeshow, where we’ve delivered dynamic animations that captivate audiences, MCI Group approached us to bring that same energy to a service showcase video. Their goal was to create an engaging visual story that could connect with potential clients and clearly communicate their service offerings. Building on their existing brand identity, we developed a distinctive video that aligns with their vision and effectively highlights their value. The result is a compelling, high-energy animation and they’re thrilled with the result.
“This team is incredibly talented and easy to work with. I truly loved the video they created for our company and will be hiring them many times over again. EXTREMELY TALENTED, UNDENIABLE CREATIVITY!”

Our customers are the most important part of our business. And Cvent has been a great customer for a long time. It is our obligation to provide animations that are extraordinary, but always with the customer’s goals and aspirations in mind. We always work to make these animations beyond eye catching. It needs to tell a story that is engaging from the very first second to the closing shot. Our area of expertise, and our passion, involves motion design, creative illustration, 3D modeling, amazing storytelling, and what makes it all possible is the great working relationships we have with our clients.
We have worked with Cvent on many animatons over the past three years. These productions are an equal partnership. For Cvent Connect 2021 alone we have helped create many animations of various forms from explainer videos, to sizzle reels, to advertisements and our most adventurous work yet, the Cvent Connect 2021 Intro animation in 3D presented on the big screen in the lobby of Caesar’s Forum. We look forward to the big event at the start of August and to the next adventure!
As you can see, we have worked on many different types of Cvent animations. The Rising video, below, is one that we have a great deal of fun with. Experimenting with a number of visual techniques to create these cool effects. As always telling the story is key and here we illustrate how Cvent has weathered the storm and has emerged even stronger.
Recently we were asked to assist Matter, Inc with a pretty large app project, for Act-On. The project was based on an architecture that consisted of creating numerous how-to videos and building an app to make it more interesting for the user, while gathering pertinent marketing information.
The work on the videos was significant, as alway it is imperative to make explainer videos both informative as well as engaging. Given SAC Designs’ animation track record, we accomplished that objective to everyone’s approval.
Then there was the supporting app, which made the process way more fun. The app was designed and implemented to allow a signed-in user to choose a path that best interested them. Once on that path the user is directed to make various selections, each of which kicks off an associated video. Meanwhile, the data attributed to the user’s interests is being collected. The great thing about using an app like this is to keep the videos highly targeted, brief in presentation time and the user engaged. Also, notice the SVG Icons we created, shown below, they are completely scalable without loss and fully animated. We greatly enjoyed working in partnership with both Matter and Act-On, to get this project launched.
We have created thousands of marketing-related pieces for our client, ACI Worldwide, and this recent magazine design is just one of them. SAC Designs was asked to push the boundaries of ACI’s brand style guides to create a custom look for the companies bi-annual magazine, ACI Worldwide Payments, in order to show off their range of capabilities. The completed magazine consisted of custom illustrations, infographics and photography.

We often partner up with other design companies and businesses when they are looking to utilize the latest trends in video animation and HTML5 animation design. 360 Communications and Nationwide came to us for help with one of their biggest initiatives yet. It was an honor to work with them on their latest financial and retirement campaign. These deliverables consisted of nine unique HTML5 banner ads, three two-minute explainer videos and nine responsive email blasts. Take a look below and feel free to contact us with any questions. If you like these examples, check out our latest HTML5 animations.
We knew that HTML5 banner animations have been gaining popularity over the years, but this has been our biggest banner ad deliverable yet. The reason HTML banner ads are becoming so popular is because they reach virtually anyone on any device. Nationwide recognized the potential to reach a wider audience using HTML banner ads. We created over 250 banners for Nationwide! This included nine campaigns, each of them having multiple sizes for different publications.
Along with the banner ads, SAC Designs was asked to create three two-minute explainer videos to demonstrate the complicated idea of stocks, bonds and retirement funds in a simple, clean and visually engaging way that was easy to understand. The goal was to get viewers to take a look at Nationwide Funds and contact them for more information. This campaign was a joint success for Nationwide, 360 Communications and SAC Designs. We are proud to have been able to work on this project, delivering all the videos and banner ads within a two month timeframe that went well beyond everyone’s expectations.
