London, 1 August 2022; Consilium Strategic Communications, a global leader in strategic healthcare communications and investor relations, is proud to have supported Replay on its recently announced $55 million seed financing and launch.
The seed was led by KKR and OMX Ventures, with additional participation from ARTIS Ventures and Lansdowne Partners, SALT, DeciBio Ventures, and Axial.
Replay’s portfolio of next-generation genomic medicine technologies aims to solve the key challenges currently limiting clinical progress, including the need for increased payload capacity and off-the-shelf cell therapies that substantially reduce cost of goods, improve production speed, volume and consistency, and expand the potential for genome engineering.
The Company’s technologies, which include a high payload capacity HSV platform, a hypoimmunogenic platform, and a genome writing platform, aim to address the scientific challenges currently limiting clinical progress and preventing genomic medicine from realising its full potential.
“This seed round is a huge validation of Replay’s ambition, its technologies and its extraordinarily deep scientific bench,” said Amber Fennell, Partner at Consilium Strategic Communications. “Working with the team at Replay, we quickly gained an understanding of the Company’s unique approach and structure. We then worked to execute our communications strategy, placing the story with the most respected media outlets, including the Financial Times, WSJ Pro Venture Capital, The Times, Fierce Biotech and Endpoints, among others, and delivering communications collateral to support the launch. We wish the Replay team all the best with the next stage of their growth.”
“We’re really delighted with the support that we’ve received at every step of this critical communication,” said Adrian Woolfson, Executive Chairman and Co-founder of Replay. “Our story is a specialist one and it takes a team with deep understanding of the industry dynamics and the broader perception to convey our ambition and expertise with clarity. Consilium absolutely delivered on this.”
The Consilium team representing Replay on the launch and seed round was Amber Fennell, Tracy Cheung, Andrew Stern, Melissa Gardiner and Genevieve Wilson.
