So, what exactly do we do?

• Interactive skill-shares, collective planning, ideation and strategy

• Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning

• Brainhuggers, collectives and guest artists collaborate on creative projects they believe in.

Grassroots groups and campaigning organisations need to find creative ways to engage people and make them aware of why change needs to happen. Other times, they need an agile and urgent response to rapidly shifting contexts. We work with artists and advocates to engage specific audiences on issues and drive the actions they need. Brain Hug responds to proactive and reactive public engagement needs in a variety of ways:

• From inception to delivery, we produce campaigns and creative content on progressive issues. Uncensored, unbound, collectively. 

• For individual projects, we connect you with talented photographers, videographers, digital content producers and digital campaigns strategists, graphic designers and other content production and web design specialists. 

• For large-scale multimedia-platform campaigns, our teams excel in creating, executing and analysing integrated media and communications campaigns using flagship products, from documentaries to animation, infographics and more.

We are based around the world and see challenges - both global and local - play out in a myriad of contexts firsthand. That’s why BrainHuggers broach issues differently, using different angles, authentic voices, promoting the unique over the mainstream, having faith in those that dare to think differently. 

We work to create human connection on challenging and sometimes divisive issues, but we like to laugh too. This is why we exist. Because we believe in pushing boundaries.

Why choose us 

BrainHug’s founder and a good chunk of the team come from the not-for-profit world. We saw a gap and creative frustration amongst NGO and foundation staff when it came to creating campaigns at scale for impact. We know what NGO budgets look like, what constraints not-for-profits face. We are a safe pair of hands that understand the complexity of charity organisations, big and small.

Our set-up is global, diverse and multi-disciplinary: we constantly test our assumptions by working across unlikely disciplines and cultures.

We start the conversations people are afraid to have, but that need to happen. We do this without any risk to your brand, and by leveraging the talents of a diverse group of creative people.
