Behavioural marketing features a powerful set of tools for influencing behaviour in an ethical, sustainable and cost effective way.
Behavioural marketing – also known as ‘social marketing’ – is an approach designed to deliver outcomes at a societal level. It will deliver change and help you maintain people’s behaviour for the benefit of them as individuals and society as a whole.
We combine proven theory & practical application of commercial marketing, behavioural economics and social sciences including psychology and sociology.
Our journey starts with five important questions:
Behavioural (social) marketing is not to be confused with social media marketing. They are very different disciplines - in fact at ICE we often use social media marketing as one of the tool sets of behavioural marketing.
"Social marketing is the adaptation of commercial marketing technologies to programs designed to influence the voluntary behaviour of target audiences to improve their personal welfare and that of the society of which they are a part."

We leverage our knowledge of the 13 social determinants of health which all play a part in shaping a person’s or communities’ reality and experiences.
Only once you really understand and ‘walk in the shoes’ of people can you design strategies and solutions to positively help them to address their own lifestyle behaviours and choices to make the desired changes. Our approach is inclusive, engaging and empowering – involving the right people.
Deep Dive
Our techniques help you to dive deeper to get ‘deep under the surface’ of target audience - understand their world, what makes them tick - their values, beliefs, behaviours, motivations and drivers.
We co-design solutions through interactive experiences which allow us to test, push envelopes and ultimately create the right solutions which will drive change.
Our approach
Behavioural marketing is a systematic and planned process. It follows seven planning steps to ensure all projects and programmes are consistent and robust.
Our behavioural marketing solutions are designed with full consultation and engagement with the very groups whose behaviour we want to change and influence using a blend of innovative insight research and co-creation techniques to ensure we don't ask the ‘usual questions and engage with the usual people’.
