We want to make an impact we can measure.
BCA is driven by data, so outcome measurement is built into all our interventions. It’s how we test what works and why – and how we improve our effectiveness into the future.

'We have been really impressed by the research work done with the Behaviour Change Agency to date. Their desktop research has been thorough and of a high quality, yielding behavioural insights that have proven to be enlightening to the business. In addition to the desktop research, BCA has also completed primary research for SAB. This research was conceptualised, designed and carried out to a high standard and yielded results and recommendations which could easily be translated for business purposes. Their commitment to addressing social issues by developing evidence-based solutions is highly commendable.'
'The team’s behavioural science approach to digital marketing and communications, coupled with its creativity, attention to detail and insight into the industry, deliver campaigns that are relevant, effective and implemented on budget and on deadline – as well as results that are measurable. From brand design and video to digital communications and print campaigns, projects are always approached with enthusiasm, care and focus.'
'BCA has been instrumental in using behavioural communications to raise our digital profile in order to inform the public and key stakeholders about our activities, as well as mobilise access to educational opportunities for the youth of Mitchell's Plain and surrounds. As a public benefit organisation, it was critically important for us to partner with an agency capable of delivering expert guidance and excellent quality within exacting budgets.'
'We have found BCA to be an agency with a proven track record of developing digital campaigns and solutions that actually deliver meaningful results in shifting behaviour within complex and multi-dimensional areas, hence drawing them in again in an area such as mental health.'
'Their in-depth understanding of our target segments, as well as their knowledge of using behavioural science to build online movements, resulted in a strategy that was unique, innovative and highly impactful. In addition, their impressive commitment to evidence-based solutions, testing and thorough reporting mechanisms successfully delivered on our mandate.'
'BCA understood our aims and objectives from the outset and has developed a smart, creative solution based on thorough research and the latest insights from behavioural science. The result is a custom-built digital portal relevant to the local South African context and designed to accommodate the very specific needs and motivations of the distinct stakeholders in this area.'
