Southerly · Founded 2009 · Female-owned and led

You can send out the communications, run the training, tick every box - and still watch nothing change. SBC exists for the moment when that's no longer acceptable.
 
We work with government agencies and large, global organisations in finance, tech and pharmaceuticals on the problems that sit underneath the brief: the team that's actively resisting a new direction, the policy that needs to land with five different stakeholder groups at once, the culture that talks about innovation but still punishes it. We help organisations define the behaviours they actually need, then design the campaigns, training and communications that make those behaviours stick.
 
Our work spans:
✔️ Stakeholder communications: strategy, design and delivery of campaigns that inform, engage and move people to act, including complex policy cascades and public information campaigns, grounded in behavioural science
✔️ Applied behavioural psychology: consulting and training to diagnose what's getting in the way of change and what will actually shift it
✔️ Bespoke learning and instructional design: highly tailored programmes for specific organisational challenges, not off-the-shelf solutions
✔️ Qualitative research: audience insight to make sure communications and learning are built on what's real, not what's assumed

Unlike large consultancies, every project is led by senior, experienced practitioners - not graduates. Our clients, including the Home Office, the NPSA, GSK and AstraZeneca, return to us repeatedly, and have done since 2009.
 
We're a social enterprise, female-owned and led from the start. Buying from us counts towards your social value commitments - and means the work is done by people who care whether it actually works.
