Influencing choice and behavior

Whether you want people to buy something, or buy into something.
A product, a cause or an initiative.

In the end, it comes down to behavior.
Getting people to do something.
For the first time. Again. Or not at all.

To influence behavior, you need to understand the world people live in.
The big world shaped by culture, economy and society.
And the small world where everyday decisions are made.

Glue helps organizations influence choice and behavior by understanding people’s reality, and acting on it.

Why Glue

When it all comes down to it, it’s about understanding who you are, and who you want to matter to.

That requires stepping into other people’s shoes.

Understanding their everyday lives, their decisions and the constraints they operate within.

Years of working across agencies and directly with companies, brands and organizations have shown one thing clearly: When work starts from people’s reality, results become stronger and more effective.

Glue is built on that realization; at a time when it has never been easier to move fast, and harder to choose right.

How Glue works

1. Identify what’s not happening

We always start by understanding what people are not doing (enough) today.

They may not:

  • start

  • repeat

  • stop or switch

This leads to one clear behavior job:
First time / Again / Not

We identify this through brand and funnel audits, communication analysis and mapping where behavior drops off.

If the behavior job is unclear, the solution will be too.

2. Understand why

Once we know what’s not happening, we focus on why.

We work with context on two levels:

The big world – culture, norms, economy, technology
The small world – habits, friction, routines, time and energy

Glue’s role is to make a brand, product or cause fit into everyday life – with tailwind from the world around it.

3. Build the bridge to action

With a clear behavior job and context in place, we design what makes action possible.

That might be:

  • a campaign

  • a product or service

  • an initiative or a new everyday behavior

4. The Sticky Test™

Everything we deliver must answer yes to at least one:

  • Does it stick in the head?

  • Does it stick in everyday life?

  • Does it stick in conversation?

If the answer is zero: Nice. But irrelevant.

Who Glue works with

Glue works with organizations that need behavior to change.

This includes:

  • companies and brands

  • public organizations

  • foundations and NGOs

The challenge may differ.
The pattern is the same: something important isn’t happening (enough).
