They search the unexplored depths of nature with AI to find solutions for human health. We’re the biotech marketing agency that helped them tell their story.
The Situation


In the nutraceutical industry, you’ll find an unending stream of innovation. Waves aren’t made easily. Yet, that’s exactly what Brightseed sought to do. As a steward of the natural world, the company uses its proprietary AI platform Forager® to find bioactive compounds in plants that could support human health. Brightseed then uses these discoveries to commercialize functional ingredients for foods and beverages. While only 1% of bioactives have been mapped by science, Brightseed has pledged to keep discovering their health benefits. As a biotech marketing agency with nutraceutical ingredient expertise, we ventured wholeheartedly into the realm of AI-powered exploration. 

What We Did


Brightseed came to MarketPlace with a one-of-a-kind nutraceutical ingredient: Bio Gut Fiber. As the only upcycled hemp fiber with bioactives for gut health, Bio Gut Fiber needed its own story to be told. We tapped our strategy and creative teams to develop a common language and visual identity that spoke to consumers and industry insiders alike. Through white papers, infographics, social assets, educational videos, press releases, and more, MarketPlace powered awareness and advocacy for bioactives and Bio Gut Fiber. Connecting with key industry writers and editors, we executed ingredient marketing and developed original content to build awareness, capture leads, and communicate the technical benefits of Bio Gut Fiber.

Within just seven months of the yearlong PR campaign, earned media surrounding Brightseed’s achievements exceeded its annual goal for industry pickups.
Outcomes
As Brightseed published preclinical data in a peer-reviewed journal, announced partnerships with two food industry giants, secured speaking opportunities at six industry events, and formed a coalition to champion the adoption of bioactives in food and health systems, we amplified these achievements through PR, trade shows, and marketing activation.
