HUMANS AT THE HEART OF BUSINESS ADVANTAGE
Our Human Understanding Lab gives brands the edge. With 90% of our brain’s activity happening in the subconscious, brands need a deeper understanding of the human mind to positively influence choice and decision-making. We keep brands relevant in today’s fragmented market by dialling up emotion, context and cultural meaning, to maximise the behaviour and action a buyer takes.
We have 120 scientists across our agency, bringing the latest techniques from neuroscience, behavioural science and data science into solving clients’ challenges and unlocking opportunities.
BEHAVIOURAL SCIENCE
Creating frameworks for real change
NEUROSCIENCE
Deep insight into human decision-making
DATA SCIENCE
Designing and powering strategies with AI
We want to know ‘why’ consumers behave as they do – through techniques which delve into the subconscious – in addition to the regular ‘what’ and ‘how’ from other insight, to inform better strategy and ultimately deliver supercharged performance for our clients’ brands.
Our suite of Human Understanding Lab products and platform apply real science to brand campaigns, and we land these learnings using in-house frameworks and behavioural short-cuts across our connected capabilities in comms, marketing and digital.
