Explaining the cold chain for the Ebola vaccine

Janssen Pharmaceutica approached us with a clear but complex communication challenge: explain the cold chain process behind their Ebola vaccine in a way that’s both accurate and engaging. The task was to make the highly technical and critical logistics—from ultra-cold storage to transport and administration—understandable to a broad audience.

Making complex logistics easy to understand

To communicate the cold chain in a way that was both scientifically accurate and broadly accessible, we first needed to truly understand it ourselves. Through in-depth research and conversations with experts across Janssen—from scientists to logistics teams—we immersed ourselves in the process.

What became clear was that every step in the cold chain is vital: a precise, carefully coordinated journey where even the smallest deviation can impact vaccine safety and efficacy. Our strategic approach focused on creating a clear, structured narrative that respected the complexity of the science while making it understandable for a wide range of stakeholders—from healthcare providers to global distribution partners.

A vaccine’s journey matters—precision ensures protection.

Bringing science to life through animation

To bring the cold chain story to life, we focused on visualizing complex information in a way that felt both clear and compelling. We proposed a blend of live-action footage and contemporary animation—merging the real and the abstract to show both the human effort and the technical precision behind the process.

To give the client a clear sense of our vision, we developed detailed styleframes and storyboards that mapped out the flow, tone, and visual approach from the start.
