01 — Tech

Platforms your MLR team can actually approve.

Registration, live/on-demand video, session tagging, badge-linked attendance. Localised per affiliate, exports clean into your CRM.

03

Internal ops automation

AI-assisted document ingestion, MLR routing, translation memory, dashboards that stop the "which version is current" question at the source.

02 — Design

Editorial polish inside a regulated frame.

Most pharma communications default to stock imagery and safe copy. We keep the compliance layer intact but push the visual and editorial standard up — because a well-designed piece is one an HCP actually reads.

What we ship

01

Brand system for regulated markets

Type, palette, motion and guidelines built to survive MLR review and multi-affiliate localisation without losing coherence.

02

Medical illustration & data-viz

Clean, accurate visuals of mechanisms of action, patient journeys, trial data. Print-ready and screen-ready in the same system.

03

Congress collateral

Booth graphics, session decks, invitation systems, on-site signage — same brand as the digital portal, aligned across every touchpoint.

Plays we run

  1. 01

    Frame

    Understand the therapeutic area, the audience and the compliance rails before we open Figma.

  2. 02

    System

    Ship a design system that can be re-used across products, affiliates and MLR cycles.

  3. 03

    Materials

    Deliver the specific pieces you need for the next campaign, with source files your local teams can adapt.

Common questions

Do you work directly with MLR teams?

Yes. We build the workflow into the platform and sit in the review meetings while the process beds in. Most of our clients find we speed MLR turnaround measurably by removing the format-and-version friction.

What about GDPR and PHI?

Treated as first-class. Data-flow map, ROPA, transfer mechanisms and DPO-ready documentation come with every build. We work alongside your privacy counsel; we don't replace them.

Can you localise per affiliate?

That's the default. Payload's localisation lets each affiliate own its copy, imagery and CTAs without forking the codebase. We ship 3+ locales as standard.

Shipping something for a regulated audience?

Send us the therapeutic area, the audience and the timeline. We reply within one working day with a shape, a number and an honest read of fit — including whether your MLR team will actually be able to approve it.
