About Synergy Vision

Yep, this is the page that answers the giraffe question.

If you’re wondering about the deal with the giraffes, you’ve come to the right place. Here’s the story: Long ago, we got a very tall (but not life-sized) giraffe lamp in our London office. We embraced its presence, dressed it up for parties and even possibly named it ‘Ralph’ at some point. And, over time, the giraffe became the inimitable icon we associate with Synergy Vision.

Luckily, it turns out that Synergy Vision has a lot in common with our accidental-sort-of mascot.

We’ve evolved and adapted

Synergy Vision started out in 2007 delivering medical events, and our excellence led to clients asking us to take on more content creation. Before you knew it – boom! – we were a medical education and events agency. Since those early days, we’ve added in-house creative, pioneered a matrixed strategic function and expanded our digital capabilities. Now, we’re the epitome of full-service, working across med affairs and commercial strategies, HCP and expert engagement, pubs planning and writing, creative concepts and campaigns, omnichannel design and more.

Giraffes’ necks and cardiovascular systems have evolved together: With such long necks, their blood pressure has to be extremely high for blood to reach and oxygenate the brain. The heart is super-powered by thick muscle walls and a small radius, plus the blood vessel walls thicken over time, ensuring giraffes are well adapted to the high pressure.1

We embrace differences

Synergy Vision was founded with the deepest understanding that life comes at you fast and that everyone’s circumstances look different. Only through creating an environment in which our people can thrive personally can they bring their individual strengths and talents to the table to achieve professionally. That’s why we’ve worked hard to cement our independent-agency culture, defined by a 4-day working week, employee ownership and a robust flexible working policy.

Giraffes are not all the same! Like human fingerprints, no two giraffes have the same pattern of spots, making each of them unique.2

We have inimitable vision

Synergy Vision continuously seeks to redefine innovation, refine our approach to medcomms, and relay our latest activities. Whether it’s winning awards for our strategy-transformation work or charting a path to help treat patients via health tech, we’ve got our eyes on the horizon. Find out what we’re up to and get a feel for how we think, to which is vital to our developing leading-edge programmes that deliver the difference.

Due to their height and the position of their eyes, giraffes have an almost-360-degree field of vision. In addition, they have incredible visual acuity over long distances – and they’re among the few mammals that can see in colour.3
