Guiding principles to fit your requirements
We recognise there is new thinking about how communications work in the digital age, and help identify the best approaches for government to build meaningful relationships with people. Our guiding principles are informed by the latest approaches in behavioural economics and social science.
Cultural context and social influence are the primary drivers of behaviour. People’s primary response to communications is instinctive and emotional, and building distinctive emotional connections is critical in driving community engagement.
We consider every aspect of the communications or behaviour change experience, through what people…
SEE
To cut through, communications need to be DISTINCTIVE
FEEL
People need to feel a strong instinctive emotional CONNECTION
THINK
People need to think there are some useful ADVANTAGES
DO
You need to make things EASY for people to do
We have a strategic framework that describes how people experience and build relationships with brands. It enables you to plan, develop and optimise your marketing activity before, during and after decision making.
FRAME encourages creativity with disciplined thinking, allowing you to focus on the ways to strengthen engagement across your different audiences and drive growth.
Measuring the different dynamics of engagement helps you identify the actions needed to achieve your campaign objectives or drive behaviour change.
This framework helps us understand behaviour, identifying the opportunities to steer decision making, and drive (and measure) behaviour change as a result of programme or service engagement. We assess impact and outcome not only from self-reported change, but also through observed ethnographic change utilising Tempo, our specialist in-the moment experience division.
FRAME allows for the integration of evaluation and behaviour change programmes with other data sources such as your internal metrics, social media and media metrics, unlocking insights from previously unconnected sources of information.
We are experts in understanding people
People experience communications in lots of different ways, and every campaign is unique.
