How a Scientific brand image bank™ made ATTR‑CM🫀 visuals clear, consistent, and reusable.

Teams needed a coherent set of ATTR‑CM visuals for patient, HCP, regulatory, and investor contexts. One‑off images caused style drift, slow reviews, and limited reuse. We built an SBIB™ collection: brand‑fit templates, a tagged component library, and review notes. Result: faster approvals, fewer review loops, and consistent rare‑disease communication. Teams now reuse assets across projects, keeping the brand consistent while saving time.

Problem

  • Mixed styles from ad‑hoc assets across channels

  • Re‑drawing similar ATTR‑CM diagrams (MoA, symptoms, pathways)

  • Delays from compliance and labeling changes

  • Need to serve multiple audiences from one visual source

Before drawing a single line, we outline the story: What is ATTR-CM, how does it manifest? What is the patient's journey and how does care look like?

Three cards showing different icon styles: the left card has an outline of lungs, the middle card has a hand with a circular icon on the wrist, and the right card has an outline of a foot with internal lines. The middle card is selected with a marker, and a label pointing to it says 'Branded Icons'.

What they got & results

  • Visual language guide for rare‑disease communication

  • Template pack (MoA, symptoms, HCP decision aids, icon set)

  • Starter library for ATTR‑CM with pre‑approved variants

  • Faster first approvals and fewer review rounds on figures

  • Reuse across decks, HCP materials, and patient leaflets

  • Consistent brand and terminology across channels

  • Clearer comprehension for all stakeholders

What we did

  • We dove into the science, talked to our experts, researched, and mapped what truly mattered. Then we cut everything that didn't serve clarity.

  • Extracted brand basics: palette, typography, iconography, and readability rules

  • Built templates for core sets—condition overview, MoA sequence, HCP tools, patient symptoms, symptom icons

  • Created a component library: heart/anatomy plates, amyloid deposition states, TTR forms

A digital graphic with categories, keywords, and sorting options related to research and development, marketing, regulatory trials, and searchable terms.

Why it works

  • One source of truth keeps patient visuals simple, consistent, and compliant

  • Templates and components speed creation and updates

  • Review notes and pre‑approved assets reduce back‑and‑forth

  • Built‑in notes align medical, regulatory, and brand reviews

The Subject

Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is a progressive, underdiagnosed condition where misfolded TTR protein deposits as amyloid fibrils in the heart, disrupting structure and function. TTR, a liver-produced protein that transports thyroxine and retinol-binding protein, becomes unstable and aggregates in cardiac tissue.

Two forms exist:

  • Wild-type ATTR-CM: Affects older men, progresses slowly.

  • Hereditary ATTR-CM: Caused by TTR gene mutations; severity varies.

Symptoms include heart failure, often preceded by carpal tunnel syndrome and autonomic dysfunction. Diagnosis is often delayed due to overlap with other conditions.

Treatment stabilizes TTR, reduces production, or supports heart function.
