Discover: 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. Collaborate: we believe the cause is bigger than the organisation. We build collaborations of organisations, big and small, who share our ambition. Design: We design campaigns that make environmental action desirable. We use behaviour change techniques, positive language and highlight the benefits. We use good design, seasonal hooks and a splash of playfulness. Experiment: we constantly experiment, measure and adapt what we do, to find out what has the biggest impact. Scale: We share what we discover, the good and the bad. When it works, we open source our ideas and build transformative opportunities that enable people to replicate and scale to have a bigger impact.
