Viatris
Changing category conventions in Healthcare.
The merger of Upjohn (a division of Pfizer) and Mylan (a leading drug manufacturer) resulted in one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world – Viatris. Recognising the responsibility that comes with its scale – especially in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic – we were entrusted to build a brand that reflected their commitment to three core goals: expanding access to medicines; leading by innovating to meet patient needs; and being a trusted partner for the healthcare community worldwide.

Our work with Viatris
01. Brand strategy
02. Visual identity
03. Activation
We strove to push beyond the pharmaceutical industry’s common tropes: leaning into warm hues and elevating radiant imagery that honours patients, standing out against corporate and clinical peers. We took care to ensure that every element of the identity would not only present Viatris as an emergent leader in the US, but also enable them to scale globally by respectfully speaking to different regions, cultures, and languages.
