Lincoln-based behaviour change agency Social Change UK is expanding its team with the arrival of five new faces this summer.
The award-winning research, marketing and creative agency has just welcomed Alison Howard, Ellen Bailey and Megan Horsman through its doors, all bringing a wealth of experience from marketing, PR and business development backgrounds.
Alison joins the organisation as the new director of growth and innovation, with the aim of driving new business and increasing Social Change UK’s brand visibility. Megan will be heading up the in-house marketing team to grow the company’s online and brand presence, whilst Ellen’s focus is around managing public relations for client accounts. The team will also be joined by a new director of delivery, John Stacey, and creative designer, Zoe Cooper, in the next few weeks, bringing the total number of changemakers to 18.
The appointments follow a successful number of years for the agency, having secured B-Corp status back in March this year and scooping the prestigious Drum Social Purpose Award in 2019 for their “Jiggle, Wiggle” sexual health campaign beating Dove, WWF, Mastercard and the British Red Cross. In 2020, the organisation was also shortlisted for another Drum Social Purpose award for a breastfeeding campaign. During the pandemic years, the business worked on several behaviour change campaigns for the government and public sector.
Chief Executive of Social Change UK, Kelly Evans, said: “It’s fantastic to welcome new talent to the team, allowing us to expand our service offerings and helping more businesses deliver profit with purpose.
“The company has gone from strength to strength over the last three years to become a leading behaviour change agency in the UK, and I couldn’t be prouder.”
Social Change UK works alongside businesses to bring positive social change, helping change the attitudes and behaviours of people by inspiring, influencing and encouraging action through creative campaigns and programmes. The agency helps businesses measure their social value and impact, and through its work has saved society millions through ground-breaking research and award-winning campaigns and change programmes, helping businesses and brands deliver profit with purpose.
