Our story

Hi, welcome to Hubbub

If you’re looking for inspiration and practical actions that are good for you and the environment, you’ve come to the right place.

We believe that to create positive environmental change at the scale and speed needed, we need to get everyone on board. That's why since 2014, we've been designing campaigns that inspire ways of living that are good for the environment. We disrupt the status quo to raise awareness, nudge behaviours and shape systems. We do this with knowledge and playfulness, and we won’t make you feel bad.

We concentrate on things you're passionate about and are relevant day-to-day, like fashion, food, the homes we live in and the spaces around us. We keep things simple, offering practical and realistic solutions that help cut waste, make clothes last longer, save money and create cleaner spaces to live and work in, and more often than not bring people together.

How we work

We’re a small experienced team of doers. We have a diverse mix of backgrounds but all share curiosity and a desire to create change, you can read more about the team here.

Collaboration is central to our approach. We listen, co-design and are inclusive working at all levels, from grass roots to the boardroom. We’re purposeful with clear charitable objectives. We base our campaigns on research and insights from across the UK and the world, and measure everything we do so we know what delivers a tangible, positive impact.

We’re constantly experimenting, learning and evolving. We share results and open source our approaches so others can amplify impact. Our hope is that we create the spark and provide tools for people to do things differently so others can latch on to successful campaigns that can go on to have a life of their own.

If you have an environmental challenge you’d like to discuss, or would like to find out more about how we work with collaborators, get in touch.
