About the company
The Good Side is an insight, strategy and ideas studio, based in London and working worldwide.
We unpack cultural complexity and set fresh directions.
We humanise audiences and navigate business and social challenges.
We craft strategies and stories for impact.
We are plugged into change at ground level, worldwide.
We take inspiration from ethnography, social sciences, human centred design, behavioural science
and documentary methods to approach social and cultural issues.
We work with leading and emerging organisations to understand the world and make good things
happen.
Our clients include Apple, Save The Children, Instagram, Human Dignity Trust and Movember
Our work straddles the worlds of insight, creative strategy and cultural change. Our people have a
passion for where these disciplines meet; they’re excited by the always evolving culture in the
world around us, and how great ideas can change the world forever.
Usually, our projects start with fresh research, but they never end there. Our outputs are brand
ideas, campaign strategies, movement methodologies, impact documentaries. We tell our stories
by making documentaries, writing zines, creating websites. Often, we partner with others to
deliver creative work, where we sit at the strategic heart of a wider coalition of collaborators

About Good Siders
Many Good Siders have had wiggley careers before they find us. They’ve moved around worlds
of media, research, marketing and creativity. They’ve learned to think holistically and laterally as a
result. They haven’t quite found their home in the conventional, commercial agency landscape -
often because they’re looking for an opportunity to do something more substantial, and create
work that has a real impact in the world.
Our team includes anthropologists, brand strategists, design thinkers, film makers and data
analysts. What brings them all together is a passion for understanding culture, social change,
human stories and bold ideas.
We are a making and doing business, so everyone is a hands-on practitioner. We all wear many
hats on every a project, so flexibility, mucking in, and a passion to collaborate are essential
characteristics of Good Siders. Our culture won’t suit people looking for a simple life, or those who
work best left to their own devices. We can’t offer the stature and structures of a big networked
agency; instead we offer a massive opportunity to grow as we do, to work with leading
organisations on the most interesting briefs, to make your mark on projects and approaches, to
learn from a range of complementary skill sets, and ultimately to change things for the better
