Smarter employer branding with psychology

In 2024, building an employer brand is non-negotiable.

In the age of talent wars and DEI, the human aspect of employee engagement has never been more important. But to build a powerful internal brand, you must understand the psychology of your people.

Enter Cognition. 

We are the only UK agency to combine employer branding with a deep understanding of psychology. Our Scientific Board is composed of world-leading psychologists, behavioural scientists and neuroscientists. When these cutting-edge researchers collaborate with our experienced communicators,  the results are profound.

How we can help you:

  • Revamp your values: We build psychologically-robust values that inspire shared behaviours - from the factory floor to the boardroom.

  • Deeper employee insights: Uncover the psychological biases and heuristics at play within your organisation.  

  • Navigate change management: Leveraging behavioural economics, we develop change strategies for complex, often highly-political organisations.
