25 YEARS TOGETHER, INFINITE STORIES TO TELL
2001, a dorm room in Leuven. Two hip-hop fans who clicked instantly. Twenty-four years later, Yves and Sharon made it official, in business. Going Gorillas was born from a simple realization: life science companies need marketing that actually understands the science. Most agencies are great at marketing. Or great at science. Rarely both. We are.
And we’re growing. Because great science deserves great creativity too.
SCIENCE GORILLA YVES
Master in bio-engineering. PhD in vaccine development. Years in pharma, biotech, and medtech. Yves spent his career translating complex research into strategies that work in the real world.
He knows the labs. He knows the scientific hurdles. He knows how to explain groundbreaking science to people who just want to know if it works.
Now, as co-founder of Going Gorillas, he combines scientific rigor with storytelling that cuts through. He speaks science. He thinks strategy. He makes it resonate.
SOCIAL GORILLA SHARON
Political science. Criminology. Journalism. Sharon’s background is anything but predictable, and that’s the point.
She built an e-commerce sewing brand from scratch, mastering online branding, social media, and authentic storytelling. As a strategist, she helped companies grow by finding the human angle in everything they do.
Sharon measures success by real-world impact, not just metrics. From volunteering in Ghent’s prison to empowering young women in Kenya, she believes brands must stand for something real.
CREATIVE GORILLA ÇAĞLAR
Istanbul by origin. Ghent by choice. Fifteen years of art direction, branding, editorial, motion and 3D design: for cultural institutions, NGOs and commercial brands across Turkey and beyond. Çağlar has shaped identities for industry-leading brands, led the visual universe of cultural festivals for years running, and turned complex campaigns into visuals people actually stop for.
He studied graphic design at Anadolu University and spent part of his education at KASK in Ghent. Now he brings that international eye, deep craft and a genuine curiosity for new tools (yes, including AI) to our team.
He thinks in concepts. He works in every medium. And when he’s done, you’ll know exactly what it stands for.
WHY GOING GORILLAS WORKS
Life science marketing often misses the mark because it’s either too technical or too shallow. Yves translates the science. Sharon provides the fresh angle. Çağlar makes it impossible to ignore. That’s what Going Gorillas brings to the table: a scientist, a storyteller, and a creative force, building brands that mean something.
