David Pemsel, CEO:
“There now has to be a new answer to the challenges of building meaningful relationships with consumers in this complex and dynamic world. ScienceMagic.Inc is grounded in three core capabilities of Strategic Science, Creative Magic and Digital Experience to grow real and enduring value for both brands and people of influence. Established brands urgently need immediate solutions to make the shift in a post-covid world, from offline to a new physical, digital, mobile and virtual world. Personality and Purpose are the future of all brands and all consumers are looking for inspiration in a new world of genuine engagement and entertainment.”
Julietta Dexter, Chief Growth and Purpose Officer,
“The crisis we’re all in has focused us single-mindedly on radically reinventing the future of brand, talent and business building. ScienceMagic.Inc is our future. An agile, new model company that focuses only on building the brands and businesses of tomorrow through true partnership and purpose. I have always believed that purpose has to be the foundation of any business success. No brand or individual will succeed unless they can articulate their “reason for being” well, beyond financial success.”
Daniel Marks, Chief Magic Officer,
“I have always believed in the magic power of great brands – that extraordinary feeling of connection when you experience exceptional creativity, desire and beauty. ScienceMagic.Inc’s ambition is to bring real meaning and purpose to our connections with brands and people. We champion the magic behind our interaction with brands and people and empower that magic with science. In our role as brand guardians we use data, AI and technology to amplify great creative thinking, develop exceptional consumer entertainment platforms and build sustainable commercial businesses.”
