Are you Strivenn to Succeed?

Your brand deserves fireworks, not fizzle. AI has upped the stakes, and plain vanilla messaging just gets ignored.

Need to:

Forge a brand strategy that slices through scientific noise?
Craft messaging that moves minds AND pipelines?
Scale with AI while keeping the human soul intact?

That’s our wheelhouse. We fuse lab-grade rigour with boardroom pragmatism, so you wake up to traction, not turbulence - and finally earn the best night’s sleep in the building.

From lab bench to keynote stage, now crafting marketing strategies for the AI Era

Matt Wilkinson PhD MBA

The Life Science Marketing Strategist for the AI Era

My first taste of marketing? Accidentally singeing the ceiling of a lecture hall and nearly giving the university dean a new "haircut" - all in the name of attracting new students.

While working as a postdoc at the University of Amsterdam, I suggested that we hold a fireworks lecture to help entice prospective students to study there. The lecture was filled with colourful chemical reactions, balloon explosions, and flaming cookies.

The result? We tripled the undergraduate intake.

That fiery success lit the fuse on my journey from lab coats to brand storytelling. Since then, I’ve traded test tubes for taglines, helping brands create their own sparks - minus the scorched ceilings.

Your brand deserves fireworks, not fizzle.

Our story so far

Strivenn was founded in June 2019 with one goal: to help life science and tech brands turn complex ideas into commercial traction.

Matt Wilkinson launched the business after finally landing his "dream" VP of Marketing role - only to realise it wasn’t the dream after all. Turns out, building brands was more fulfilling than climbing org charts.

The early wins came fast, and Matt was soon awarded a Vistiing Fellowship at Cranfield School of Management.

From there, things took off.

As the need for smarter, sharper marketing grew, so did Strivenn — helping clients cut through the noise, shape standout strategies, and build marketing that actually moves the needle.

While some marketers panicked at the rise of AI, Matt leaned in. He developed a human-first, AI-empowered approach to solve real challenges: from low-impact messaging to sluggish pipelines.

Today, Strivenn partners with forward-thinking organisations like InGen Dynamics, Razor Profiles and UP There, Everywhere, blending storytelling, brand strategy and automation to help them thrive in the AI era.

We're not just riding the wave - we’re helping shape it.
