About us

COG_Web-ABOUT

The first creative 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.
