About
We are proud to work with:
Welcome to Behaviour Change Marketing Bootcamp where communicators become changemakers.
Our mission is to help you become wildly impactful and unleash positive change.
“Empathy is a quality of character that can change the world.”
—Barack Obama
Our aim is to cultivate highly effective changemakers that are leaders in their field.
We will show you:
- How to communicate change and move from awareness to action
- How to increase impact using behavioural science
- How to understand your audience and stand out from the noise
- There is a secret to changing behaviour and you probably know it already but reality means it is skipped. We’ll show you that too!
Our Learning Values:
- Knowledge should power action. We design our training to lead you into action. This is about skill sets not reading a book. (But you can do that too!)
- You – as the changemaker – matter too. All our learning will ask you to think about your start point! Your voice WILL strengthen, get clarity and get heard.
- Fun! This is not corporate style stuff.
- Experiment
- Empathy

Bootcamp is a must for any PR, Comms & Marketing professional
The Behaviour Change Marketing Bootcamp is a must for any PR, Comms and Marketing professional looking to harness the power of human thinking and use it to their advantage.
It’s not often that I come away from a training session feeling like I have properly learnt something useful. Not only that, but something that can be so easily applied to my everyday work once you know how.
Ruth Dale’s Behaviour Change Marketing Bootcamp took my basic understanding of behavioural insights to a whole new level. Delivered in a genuinely fun and engaging way (yes, really!) this workshop has given me the tools to apply behaviour change theory to campaigns with greater confidence.

Lightbulb moments & immense value!
The Behaviour Change Marketing Bootcamp Bootcamp was the most enjoyable and best training I have done in a long time!
Ruth was engaging, the day was full of lightbulb moments and hopefully it will help take my work to the next level.
It has opened the door to behaviour change and the immense value it has in Public Health and Local Authorities.
