Their approach is built on three core pillars:
- Strategic Messaging & Alignment:
Investors and medical researchers don’t speak the same language, and that’s where Waking Dreams Media shines. Through comprehensive workshops, they delve into every aspect of the business to strategically align with the founder’s goals. These sessions ensure the message highlights the company’s strengths while tactfully navigating its weaknesses, laying the foundation for a pitch or video that connects deeply with its audience. - Purpose-Driven Production:
Whether it’s live action, animation, or 3D models of cutting-edge products and software, the focus isn’t on the equipment (though they use state-of-the-art tools). Instead, it’s about the ideas—what works and why. With a track record of hundreds of commercial videos for technology and life science companies, Waking Dreams Media knows how to craft content that persuades, inspires, and drives results. - Optimised Distribution:
The job doesn’t stop at creating a great video. Waking Dreams Media ensures the final product is formatted for every setting—whether it’s a slideshow for investor meetings, conference presentations for industry leaders, or a social media campaign. The goal is to make the client look their best, wherever their story is told.
