Memetic Communications

What Memetic Communications does

Memetic Communications is a London-based, founder-owned specialist communications consultancy founded in 2019 by David Lewis, focused exclusively on science and deep tech organisations operating in AI, quantum, robotics, advanced materials, biotech, and clean energy. The firm delivers evidence-led communications programmes — including strategy, audience analysis, digital listening, content creation, media relations, social media, and stakeholder engagement — to help technically complex clients build credibility with investors, customers, policymakers, and partners. Its offering is organised around seven structured service programmes spanning the innovation lifecycle, from securing funding and changing narratives through to customer acquisition, talent attraction, partnerships, impact demonstration, and exit readiness.

The consultancy operates on a senior-only delivery model, with all client work handled by experienced strategists rather than junior teams, and combines customised off-the-shelf AI tools with in-house-developed tooling to support research, evidence analysis, stakeholder simulation, and content repurposing, while keeping editorial judgement, accuracy, and credibility human-led. Memetic generates revenue through fee-based professional services engagements structured as long-term retained programmes, defined projects, or advisory support, with pricing tailored to scope and complexity rather than fixed packages. Its go-to-market is a sales-led direct engagement model, with prospective clients reaching out through the website contact form and inquiries routed directly to directors, supported by a content-led marketing approach built on LinkedIn, a website insights publication, an email newsletter, earned media in quality trade and national outlets, and named case studies with FTSE 100, government, and research-sector clients.
