Let’s change something for good.
We’re a communications agency; strategists, advertising experts, graphic designers, content generators, educators, film makers, engagement specialists and more besides. These are the tools we use to achieve a change in understanding, attitudes and behaviour towards sustainability.
To progress, things need to change.
The problem is that people generally don’t like change and resist it when the need arises. This may be the fear of the unknown or simply that there’s comfort to be had in doing what has always been done in the same way.
Mobius exists to disrupt this paradigm and enable positive change, for good.
Bridging the gap between policy and people
Behaviour change is an endeavour populated by an abundance of highly skilled academics and theorists. Individuals that are schooled in psychological and sociological practice, a truly bright bunch of leading thinkers and shapers. But academia often finds it difficult to articulate itself in practical terms; transferring the high-level theories into tangible, street level outreach. This is where Mobius operates; bridging the gap between the policy makers and people using visual communications to stimulate lasting change for the good of society.
Our driving principle is that Behaviour Change Communication is about providing motivation – not just information.
We apply the same principle in the support we provide businesses, using Marketing Communication to drive a positive change that ultimately leads to commercial advantage.
Mobius exists to change things, for good.
Mobius embraces collaboration with like-minded organisations and individuals operating in complimentary fields. This is more about sharing knowledge and jointly contributing to positive change as it is about shared commercial opportunity. We’re proud to operate within a network of global environmental experts; our extended family.
