About Scrolly Science

We built Scrolly Science because we kept watching the same thing happen.

The Problem

The pattern is always the same. Brilliant research. Competent content. Almost nobody watching.

A research group commissions a beautifully produced video. It goes on the university website. The press office sends a release. A few hundred people see it. The content sits there, buried under millions of competing pages, reaching almost nobody outside the people who already knew about the research.

Our directors have worked in science communication since 2006. Over that time, the team behind Scrolly Science has collaborated with more than 14,000 academics across every scientific discipline, built science communication brands across magazine, podcast, video and animation formats, and generated over half a billion social media impressions for the researchers we have worked with.

What We Believe

What We Believe

What We Believe

Most science communication agencies are production companies.

They make things. Good things. Sometimes even excellent things. But their job ends when the deliverable is handed over. Ours does not.

We believe that strategy, creation, distribution and impact measurement cannot be separated. The strategy you set at the beginning determines what kind of content you create. The content only works if it was designed for the platforms it will live on. And distribution only delivers results if it is run by the same team that built the content, with the same understanding of the science, the audience, and the goals.

Separating these things is exactly why so much brilliant science content never reaches its audience. We keep them together.
Researchers should own their narrative

When journalists cover your work, they tell their story in their voice with their framing. We work directly with you, in your voice, so the science stays yours.

Reach is not a bonus. It is the point.

A competent explainer with a proper distribution strategy will outperform a masterpiece with no strategy every single time. Not marginally. By orders of magnitude.

Quality without distribution is expensive decoration.

We care deeply about craft. We also know that craft alone changes nothing if nobody sees the work.

Strategy

Strategy

Strategy

We define the audience, the intent and the outcome before a single frame is designed. Every project begins with positioning, not production.

Creation

Creation

Creation

Cinematic film, advanced 3D visualisation, intelligent digital platforms, and structured visual storytelling. Built for complex science, medical, and technical innovation. We combine directed hybrid AI workflows with professional creative leadership to deliver at speed without compromising precision.

Distribution

Distribution

Distribution

We run active promotional channels across all major social media platforms. When we produce content for a researcher, we manage the strategy, the scheduling, the platform-specific optimisation, and the sustained promotion that turns a single piece of content into a campaign that actually reaches people.

Impact

Impact

Impact

We measure what happened. Not vanity metrics. Real engagement data that shows who saw the work, where they saw it, and what they did next. The kind of evidence that matters to funders, to the REF, and to you.
