Univo IRB

Univo IRB is dedicated to safeguarding research participants while streamlining the IRB process for clinical trials. When Univo IRB decided they needed a complete brand refresh, SCORR was their partner of choice. We crafted a new name & logo, compelling branding, and a captivating launch strategy that included a website, social media, interactive trade show experiences, and more — all serving to establish Univo IRB as a stand-out provider in research ethics and compliance.

“It was more than just putting a name on a company. Anybody can name a company; it was really the brand. It had to tie into our mission. It had to tell a story. We had to be passionate about it. At one point I said, ‘I need to have that Nicholas Sparks ‘Notebook’ experience where I just love it so much.’ And we got to that point.”

Identity Reveal

SCORR introduced Univo IRB’s new identity at SCOPE 2024 with the reveal of a giant Lite-Brite® featuring a glowing version of the logo. Paired with hotel door hangers, media outreach, and strategic email campaigns, the launch generated excitement, drove booth traffic, and launched Univo IRB’s new identity in a memorable way.

Attendees are smiling and dressed in professional attire.

Brand Launch

We helped Univo IRB make a lasting impression through launching their branding with a custom Everbrite LED booth. This interactive display built on their logo reveal from the previous year, drawing attendees with a striking visual experience that reinforced Univo IRB’s Big Idea.

Along the bottom, close-up images show various stages of the logo and word 'Univo' being created with pegs on the Everbright board.

The sign encourages attendees to write encouraging notes that will be sent to children undergoing cancer treatment, with a goal of donating 200 patches. The display includes sample patches with messages like 'You are loved' and 'Wishing you magic, rainbows, and hugs.' A sign explains that one patch donated equals one child empowered.
