Our approach

We’re behaviour change specialists focused on improving lives

Some of society’s biggest challenges – like public health, the environment and social cohesion – require new approaches that are sustainable, affordable, and resonant with customers.

How we can help you

We can help your organisation deliver positive change and value for money to your communities.

Social Engine combines the best in academic research with hands-on practitioner experience, so our multi-disciplinary team will cut through the noise to design evidence-based solutions.

From conducting social research and co-designing interventions to evaluating impact, our team will support you to unpick the challenge and design an impactful route forward.

Understanding the issues with behavioural insights

It’s all about people.

Behavioural insights allow us to understand why people behave in certain ways and to discover what can be done to influence better choices or more constructive behaviours.

It brings together learning from social psychology, neuroscience, economics and marketing to forge new approaches to citizen engagement and service design.

At Social Engine we use this specialist knowledge together with experience of what works to tackle some of society’s biggest problems.

Designing interventions that change lives

Putting the evidence to work in practice.

Building on high quality research and behavioural insights, we design user-focused interventions that resonate with target audiences and align with their values.

Whether tackling street harassment in Redbridge or designing solutions to encourage young people to stop vaping in the Midlands, intervention design goes beyond traditional marketing techniques to create campaigns and experiences underpinned by behavioural science.
