A BIT MORE ON HOW WE WORK 

• We do things the Hubbub way:  

• Scope: We care about the environment and believe the cause is bigger than the organisation. We’re always thinking about the most pressing challenges and problems we can tackle. We collaborate with organisations, big and small, who share our ambition to find new ways to disrupt the status quote and inspire action that’s good for the environment, and for everyone. 

• Discover: We’re curious. We listen, observe and ask questions to gain insight and knowledge to understand the people and places we want to inspire. We use our intuition and experience to identify opportunities to instigate action on environmental issues. We build ideas based on evidence. 

• Create: We’re a creative bunch. Our campaigns put ideas into action to raise awareness, change habits, and show that good things happen when people come together. We start with things people care about. We use behaviour change techniques, positive language and highlight the benefits. We use good design, seasonal hooks and a splash of playfulness. 

• Experiment: We’re entrepreneurial. We have a healthy restlessness. We reinvent ways to connect with people. As we deliver campaigns we constantly experiment, measure and adapt what we do, to find out what has the biggest impact. 

• Scale: We start small and think big. Our campaigns ripple, scale and influence far beyond the people involved in them. We share what we discover, the good and the bad. Sometimes we give it another go to find a better way. When it works we open source our ideas so they can be replicated and scaled. We build transformation opportunities to shape systems and policy.
