We believe in Human Brands
Human Brands know how to listen, keep things simple, talk clearly and constantly adapt. They understand their place in our 14 brand relationships and know what it means for them.
Brand meaning and activation go hand in hand. They must work together so that activation is both agile and connects with people.
Human Brands
Developing 4 key human behaviours (listening, simplifying, being clear & adapting) allows a brand to connect with people. They give people the relationships they need today, whether deep & meaningful, or speedy & functional.
Agile Activation
The best and most effective activations are agile and responsive, whilst still keeping true brand meaning and connection at their heart. They reinforce the essence of a Human Brand and build on it.

Balancing the unusual and the everyday is the best way to connect with people. We use our understanding of how our brains connect with the world to inspire transformative thinking and effective ideas.

14 Brand Relationships and the Opportunity for Human Brands
We’ve conducted research to gain a clear understanding of how to build better, stronger bonds between brands and people and have uncovered 14 new brand relationships to deliver new business and marketing strategies.
Creating the Unusual Everyday™ – Brands, Experiences and Technology
Our focus at HeyHuman has always been to bring people and brands closer together, particularly through the power of experiences. As part of this, we’ve researched and predicted the dramatic changes in brand relationships over recent years, and how that’s affected both experiences and the role of technology.
A Human Guide to HFSS Legislation
In this human guide to HFSS legislation, we’ll break down what HFSS restrictions mean for your FMCG organisation, in plain English.
Pet Food Campaigns
In 2021, the UK pet food category generated a market value of £3.1 billion. This is an exciting, profitable and highly competitive category, largely dominated by heritage brands so established that their names are synonymous with the sector, but with no shortage of smaller established brands, and new market entrants, all competing for the attention of pet owners in approximately 17 million UK households.
Better briefs mean better business
There’s a quote that goes along the lines of ‘I’m sorry this letter is so long, if I’d had time I’d have made it shorter’. It’s attributed to many, but the best advice still is that if you’re ever in any doubt about the source of a quote let Churchill claim it and you’ll usually get away with it. (Unless it’s about the Metaverse or Love Island.)
Marketing Bothism in the time of HFSS
I had always wanted to hear the famous author and academic Umberto Eco speak. When it was question time, I stood up first, keen to impress with my erudite questioning.
Money’s too tight to mention – how brands can win as the cost-of-living crisis hits
I remember the Bank of England base rate rising and rising in 1991, peaking at 15%. I was living a life unencumbered by a mortgage and had never experienced anything like it before, so I felt more like a witness to the failing economy than a victim of it. Nothing much changed for me.
HFSS a road map beyond 2022 webinar
