about-us

The first brand and marketing agency to truly embrace psychology.

At Cognition, our mission is to deliver the best strategic advice and the most effective creative and commercial outcomes. We can do this because we are more than a marketing agency.

Our talent is unique and unmatched.  

Our Scientific Board of world-leading psychologists and neuroscientists works directly with our strategists, creatives and content producers. The result is a level of expertise which other agencies can’t replicate, and businesses won’t find internally. 

We have the scale to deliver internationally. 

As part of the DXG Group, we are a team of 200 specialists based in the UK, Spain, France, South Africa and Dubai. With this global presence, we can confidently solve any marketing challenge for any organisation, anywhere in the world.

Our services

If you need an incremental improvement in impressions, you’re in the wrong place. 

We stand apart from commoditised ‘performance’ marketing. Our services span four areas - each driven by powerful psychology and guaranteed to deliver lasting results.

Research
& insight

Still relying on dated personas? We provide untapped insights into your audiences, using pioneering psychology.

Strategy
& planning

There’s thorough, and there’s Cognition thorough. Trust our decades of experience in building meticulous marketing plans.

Brand
& creative

Tired of subjective guesswork? Our creatives combine deep expertise with a rare understanding of behavioural science.

Employer branding

Employer branding is non-negotiable. We help you apply psychology to recruit and retain the best talent.

Our culture

More than a marketing agency. 

We are psychologists, neuroscientists, artists, playwrights and published authors. But more importantly, we’re the kind of people you want to do business with. Endlessly supportive. Occasionally challenging. Always inspiring.
