Our shared belief at Lynn is simple: Behavioural science has the power to improve and save lives. In a world where choices are everywhere, cognitive overload is at maximum, the stakes of our decisions are higher than ever, and it’s harder to trust what we see and hear, audiences need the communications industry to do better.
We know that when you inject behavioural science into communications, you can build better campaigns, campaigns that do what’s important: create the behaviours needed to positively change the world.
Campaigns that improve and save lives.

We are a collective with diverse backgrounds but with shared values. We are fallible human beings with rich, complex and sometimes difficult lives but we always have each other’s backs.
In a world where some people talk more while doing less, we all take ownership of our work. We go outside of our comfort zone. We roll our sleeves up and get stuck in. We hold each other accountable because we owe it to each other to bring out our best.
But in our work, we find purpose.
We close our laptops most days content in the knowledge that we’ve made the world a tangibly better place – measured in lives improved and lives saved.
We’re not about sharp elbows, perfection or workaholism. We’re about integrity, transparency and authenticity.
We create the opportunity to grow, we create opportunity to find purpose, and we create the opportunity to do good things.
