Canvas8

We are Canvas8, a global behavioural insights practice operating out of London, LA, New York and Singapore. We help organisations grow through a better understanding of people. Primarily focused on media, communications and product development, our award-winning insights inspire clients including The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Google, Edelman, Mindshare, MTV, Nike, the British Government and Samsung. Our work is about investigating the hidden insights in everyday life – from the psychology of boredom to teenage make-up rituals – and making them meaningful for brands. Our team blend skills from psychology to journalism, anthropology to behavioural economics. What unites them is a desire to understand people and a passion for delivering outstanding work. Supported by our network of over 3,500 experts, from TED speakers to MIT fellows, and underpinned by innovative research methods, we work at the intersection of behavioral science, culture, business and creativity to understand human behaviour. Our flagship product is our Library platform, an online database of over 35,000+ trend reports and case studies spanning 15 industries, nine markets and five generational audiences – complemented by our innovative consultancy offer, which often spans multiple markets. We have also recently launch Toolkit, templated consultancy solutions for faster, affordable results.
