Behaviour Change Marketing

We can reach the right people with impactful messaging to elicit behaviour change.

The Purpose of Behaviour Change Marketing

Ethical marketing is at the heart of what we do; including marketing with a social and environmental conscience. It makes us incredibly proud to be a part of driving change for the better through the delivery of behavioural research driven marketing campaigns.

Through research, strategy, media and creative, we can implement behaviour change marketing to reach the right people with impactful messaging to elicit the desired result.

Our Behaviour Change Marketing Method

Our methodology is built upon research and our extensive understanding of people and what makes them behave in the way that they do. 

Phase 1

Purpose

We delve deep into understanding and challenging the purpose and rationale behind the campaign. We do this to help you to set campaign goals and desired behaviour outcomes.

Phase 2

Method

We begin with research and engagement with the audience. We then purposefully plan the campaign, create initial concepts and receive feedback. Finally, we test the campaign before rolling it out in full.

Phase 3

Evaluation

We continually run in-house evaluations throughout the testing phase and the live campaign. We then complete a full evaluation against the goals and measure the desired behaviour outcomes.

Phase 4

Learnings

When it comes to behaviour change, it is beneficial to society as a whole to share our key findings and learnings from the campaign. It means others can learn from or advance the field of work.

Honest Added Value

There are many ways in which we can help with your campaign mission. All focus is on building emotional connections with your target audience and persuading people to act, whilst giving them the opportunity to do so. We approach all of our marketing campaigns with our tried and tested four-step methodology: purpose; method; evaluation; learnings.

The Behaviour Change Wheel

Model of Behaviour

Alongside other theories, we utilise the COM-B model of behaviour to help us understand what drives behaviour, how decisions are made, and, therefore, how we can change it for the better.

The Behaviour Change Wheel

This wheel uses the initial three components of capability, opportunity and motivation to provide seven ‘policy categories’ and nine ‘intervention functions’, which can be used to develop effective behaviour change interventions. The policy categories facilitate the interventions, allowing them to be used to encourage change in one of the three main areas of the COM-B model.
