Social Sense is a purpose led marketing agency. This means our communications are driven by a desire to improve outcomes for individuals, families, communities, society and our planet.
Social Sense is a leading, Media City based behaviour change specialist.
We’ve created many of our own social purpose projects and use our extensive experience to support other changemakers too.
Our award-winning innovative approach has led to measurable improvements in health attitudes, perceptions and behaviours since 2011.
Informed by evidence yet innovatively bold in testing new approaches, we have taken on some of the biggest social challenges facing the UK today.
Key areas include improving mental health, tackling domestic abuse, preventing knife crime, addressing obesity and helping those affected by dementia.
"The need for social innovation has never been greater. With the widening of health inequalities, we must persist in creating innovative solutions capable of addressing challenges throughout the entire system. Now is the time for courage. Whether it's combating climate change or empowering communities at a hyper-local level, we have the chance to approach things differently. When individuals, technology, communities, academics, and businesses unite, we have experienced that extraordinary outcomes are possible."
We co-create social products that solve problems for individuals and their communities.
