How the day works

  The day is limited to 25 spots to ensure quality of learning.

It is highly interactive but you can choose to work solo if you wish to.

To get the most out of the day, we recommend you bring an overview of your smokefree challenge.

That way you can apply the learning to it as we move through the session. 

Each workshop is carefully designed to build on each other.

So by the end of the day you will be looking at your work in a whole new light.

This is a day of headspace to get work done.

Not a day of knowledge share that you forget when you return to the office!!

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.
