We work across the research and innovation ecosystem. Our clients include universities, public agencies, R&D institutes, deep tech companies, and engineering consultancies.  

What unites our clients is complexity and consequence. Their work is underpinned by cutting-edge science. They stand to transform industry and government. But they must overcome the scepticism and understanding gap that surrounds anything new. 

Who we work with

Technologies & research areas

Our work covers a broad range of topics, but our specialism sits firmly in frontier technologies and research areas currently experiencing rapid growth, and shaping the next wave of industrial and societal change.

  • How we help: AI is often opaque, raising questions around reliability and real-world value. Through clear explanation, credible use cases, and expert insight, we build the trust needed for adoption in risk-averse environments. 

     

    AI clients include: Capgemini Engineering; Robotics and AI Collaboration (RAICo), Capita, TTP 

     

    What our clients say: “Memetic are experts in taking complex topics and building communications programmes that make convincing arguments for senior audiences to act.” - Julian Fowler, Global Marketing Director, Capgemini Engineering 

  • How we help: Quantum conversations are moving from qubits to industrial deployment. But quantum technologies are complex and easily misunderstood. We explain the foundations, demonstrate the potential, and address doubts through credible storytelling and thought leadership, building confidence among investors, buyers, and partners. 

    Quantum clients include: The National Physical Laboratory’s Quantum Metrology Institute, Quantum Communications Hub 

     

    What our clients say: “Memetic drew out expertise from our network, and articulated it in a way that was informative and inspiring to a business audience, whilst still having rigour in the eyes of our academic partners. That is a very challenging thing to achieve.” - Georgia Mortzou, Quantum Communications Hub  

  • How we help: Deploying robots into industrial or public environments makes people nervous. We build trust by explaining how systems work, where they add value, and how risks are managed – supporting real-world adoption. 

     

    Robotics clients include: Robotics and AI Collaboration (RAICo), TTP 

     

    What our clients say: “Memetic really know what they are doing, and really understand our sector. In high stakes industries like decommissioning, it is critical to have an agency we can trust to talk to our experts, bring their stories to life accurately and responsibly, and amplify those stories in all the right places, whether the media, social, or our own channels.” 

    “The result is that we are constantly getting the right message out there, so people in industry, academia, and government understand what we do, and trust us to work with them to tackle decommissioning challenges.”  - Kirsty Hewitt, CEO, RAICo

  • How we help: Innovation here is often invisible, but critical to industrial transformation. We create understanding and trust by connecting deep science to tangible performance improvements – helping new materials and machines move from the lab to the supply chain faster and with greater impact. 

    Advanced materials and manufacturing clients include: National Physical Laboratory, The Advanced Machinery and Productivity Institute, Imperial College London 

    What our clients say: “Memetic played a vital role shaping our narrative across major programmes, and creating exceptionally interesting reports, thought leadership, and case studies, which have significantly enhanced our communications” Emma Green, Project Controllers and Innovation Impact Lead, National Physical Laboratory

  • How we help: Clean energy technologies sit at the intersection of science, policy, and infrastructure. Our trust-building communications help innovators demonstrate credibility, feasibility, and system-level relevance – essential for securing investment, partnerships, and government support. 

     

    Cleantech clients include: Fusion Industry Association, Connected Kerb, Aecom, James Fisher, Lloyds Register Foundation 

     

    What our clients say: “Memetic’s work has stoked global excitement about fusion in recent years, and they secure repeated coverage for us in global media, from the FT and Economist to key industry trades” Andrew Holland, CEO, Fusion Industry Association 

  • How we help: Biotech and health – where outcomes affect people’s lives – demands exceptional credibility. We help organisations communicate complex science responsibly, building confidence among regulators, investors, buyers, and partners without damaging trust by oversimplifying or overstating. 

     

    Our Biotech clients include: Croda, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Global Biodiversity Information Facility 

     

    What our clients say: “Memetic have a rare ability to weave together market trends, customer issues and innovation stories into coherent communications programmes that shape perceptions and decisions.” David Bishop, Corporate Affairs Director, Croda 

Organisation types

Principles

Evidence-led

We work with organisations whose science, engineering or research stands up to scrutiny. Claims must be grounded in evidence, expertise and real-world context, because credibility is the foundation of trust, influence and long-term impact.

Responsible

We believe responsible communication is essential in emerging and high-impact technologies. We collaborate with teams who value clarity over hype, communicate honestly about uncertainty and limitations, and contribute constructively to informed debate.

Impactful

We partner with organisations whose work has the potential to deliver meaningful outcomes for society and industry, from productivity and sustainability to health, security and infrastructure. Our role is to help that impact be understood, trusted and acted upon.
