In the complex world
of public health
we see the people.

Hello. We are Common Thread.

A globe-spanning team of behavioural scientists, public health experts, communicators, and designers.

We harness human behaviour for good.

However illogical it seems, human behaviour is never a fault or a flaw. It’s a feature. The key is to understand it.

Through data, stories and design, we facilitate healthy decision making in communities across the world.

We don’t like guess work.

Before we are designers we are insightful listeners, respectful observers, and diligent researchers. We draw on the best of human-centred design, anthropology, and behavioural science to get a clear picture of the problem at hand.

Design

We strategize to catalyze.

We develop systems that foster sustainable, healthy decision-making. Whether it be a strategy, a workshop or a product, we craft specific and elegant solutions that effectively influence behaviour.

Amplify

We enrich numbers with narratives.

We bring stories from the sidelines to centre stage. We produce film, audio, and written stories to promote change, elevate voices, and bring the communities we serve into boardrooms of decision makers. It’s not content, it’s context.
