Funny business...

Designing to trigger behaviour change is a tricky proposition. One technique we employ is humour. This is to entice, engage and hopefully leave a lasting impact. Carrot, rather than stick. Kind of.

A good example of this is our work with Alcohol Concern, where we created a set of conversation starters to use at conferences and other events. The brand had been preceived as too ‘preachy’, so it was important to create something light-hearted while still conveying serious health messaging.

Check out our #NeverAgain campaign and Alcohol Concern Impact Reports for further examples of this technique in play.

Hair of the dog? Using humour to boost participation and increase motivation to focus on messaging.
