We use evidence and insight to accelerate environmental and social change

 

We’re a full-service research and science communications agency headquartered in Bath, UK. Our integrated team combines exceptional analysis and evidence-led communications to help not-for-profits, social enterprises and progressive businesses increase their reach and impact. 

Newly minted for 2018, we’re already making an impact internationally, working with organisations that inspire us across more than a dozen countries and an equally wide array of subjects.

Why we are


We believe a better world is possible and want to help make it a reality.

We believe in the power of scientific research to protect and improve lives, but only if leaves the lab.

We believe the most effective way of harnessing this power is with a unique team that speaks the languages of research and communications equally — not a patchwork of consultants with competing interests.

We believe this so strongly, we grew Seedly to do it.

What we do


We really do the whole shebang. We create and run research projects, collect and analyse data, and write easily digestible reports, toolkits and papers. 

We transform complex data and science into engaging visualisations, creative copy and immersive longform stories. 

We turn complexity into simplicity, readers into customers, and interest into action. 

We generate evidence-based insight, impact and influence, helping to create lasting environmental and social change.

You'll be served by an interdisciplinary all-star team hardwired to deliver outstanding results as quickly as possible.

Ultimately, we’ll deliver the insights you need to serve your most important clients effectively: nature, and the lives and livelihoods of those who depend upon it.

MONTY ANDERSON

Chief wellness officer

Behind every great collaboration is a great canine. For us that’s Monty, our world-beatingly enthusiastic office labrador. 

He may not be able to use complex statistics, write research reports or create interactive data visualisations, but he plays a big part in all those tasks.

His perpetual optimism boosts productivity, reduces stress and revives flagging spirits on even the most frenzied of days.

Although much of Monty’s sterling work is done in obscurity, he’s totally fine with that.

If he can find time between sleeping, playing, eating and walking, he one day hopes to be promoted to head of Barketing.

Groan.
