Medela's Amazing Science of Mother's Milk animations were created in collaboration with brand agency Keel London. Starting the narrative at pregnancy, through to birth and beyond, our films highlight the incredible health benefits of breastmilk, through a series of warm and sharable animations.

The illustration style has a geometric feel, pivoting around a circular theme that creates a neatly flowing sequence. The creative and typographic style was developed to be instantly engaging, clearly viewed on mobile devices and easily translated into 13 different languages to enable sharing between Medela’s subsidiaries, around the world.
