Description

What is The HeyHuman Podcast? The format is simple – we invite a series of guests from around the world to explore some compelling, complex, ambitious, and unusual ideas. Those that focus on behaviours have been proven to work better. ‘Behaviour Changing Ideas’ need an understanding of humans and of what motivates them and at HeyHuman this is what we believe in. Successful ideas and campaigns also need a bit of luck and a healthy sense of humour along the way, so there will be a bit of that too. Join our CEO, Neil Davidson, in the sometimes funny, sometimes more serious pursuit of mastering what makes communications connect.

10 years. That’s how long Oliver Steeds thinks we have left to halt the irreversible damage to our oceans. Speaking with Oliver, Chief Executive and Mission Director for Nekton Foundation, our CEO Neil learnt how changing our perception of what is “free” and the power of scarcity might just hold the answer to saving the planet. Are the solutions staring us right in the face? What more we could all be doing if the pace of political change is so worryingly slow? Does it start with smaller, indi...

Pets are for life, not just for pandemics. 3.2 MILLION households in the UK got a new pet during CV19. That’s an awful lot of new mouths to feed, and an awful lot of poo bags needed. For pet care brands, an awful lot of logistics to fulfil. CV19 (and the trend of Brand Dispersion it accelerated) has had a massive impact on businesses and the way we shop. For some it brought new growth opportunities- most notably those already ‘oven ready’ for their products to be bought, shipped, delivered, (...

Neil and Hannah discuss SlimFast’s recent campaign, One Step At A Time, fronted by legendary model and Heart radi...

A lot has changed since 1998. A time before smartphones, social media, fintech, Uber, Google, Amazon, Spotify or kale. The ways in which we choose to communicate, travel, work, bank, socialise and shop are all radically different to when we were partying like it was actually 1999. Throw in population shifts, recessions, Donald Trump and a global pandemic, and it’s amazing to think how anything could still be the same now, let alone an advertising campaign. How then, have Mandarin Orien...
