Hitch Marketing

A marketing agency with a social conscience. You only have to look at our highly experienced team and award winning work to know we’re good at it too.

We’re a social marketing agency at heart, which means we love nothing more than to deliver behaviour change for social good. We achieve behaviour change because our research skills are second to none, our designers are leaders in their field, and our digital solutions are at the cutting edge. We also take a creative approach to campaign planning and delivery in whichever way will meet your aims. That’s where we started life, with success in delivering social marketing campaigns. But we have a lot more to offer. Clients in the public, commercial and third sectors benefit from our support with all areas of corporate marketing strategy and implementation. What’s more, as an agency with a social conscience, 10% of our revenue is reinvested into local community social innovation projects – something we all stand for. So that’s Hitch in a nutshell: behaviour change specialists and expert marketers that cover all the bases – and with a social conscience too.

World Su***de Prevention Day | 10 September

Today marks World Su***de Prevention Day, during National Su***de Prevention Week (6–12 September).

The theme this year is about changing the narrative around su***de, and one of the most important ways we can do that is by making conversations about mental health and su***de feel less difficult, less clinical and more human. It’s something we’ve had the privilege of working on at Hitch.

For our Stay Alive su***de prevention campaign, we used real stories and relatable creative to help people recognise the signs, start conversations and understand where support is available.

For Draw Your Own Solution, we worked with young people to explore their experiences of mental health and resilience, turning their own words and perspectives into engaging creative content.

Both projects reminded us that effective public health communication isn't simply about getting the message out, it’s about finding the right way to make people stop, relate, listen and act.

Sometimes that starts with a question. Sometimes with a story.

And sometimes with simply making it easier for someone to say, “I'm not okay.”

This week is an important reminder to keep those conversations going, not just today, but all year round.

Start the conversation. Listen. And help people find the support they need.

🥕 Snack-tember is here!

September is all about encouraging children and young people to explore better snacking, try something new and get creative with making their own snacks.

The British Nutrition Foundation’s Snack-tember focuses on making healthier, more sustainable choices, including:
🍎 MORE vegetables and fruit

🌾 MORE wholegrains, beans and pulses

🥕 LESS saturated fat, salt and sugars.

These themes are closely linked to the work we do at Hitch, supporting people to make healthier choices in ways that feel realistic and achievable.

We are currently working with Norfolk County Council on their Ready to Change campaign, encouraging people across Norfolk to make positive changes through a 30-day Ready to Change challenge, with a focus on healthy eating and keeping active. The challenge provides practical guidance, tips and support to help people take manageable steps towards healthier habits.

We’ve also seen this approach through our work on Medway Can, a healthy weight campaign developed with Medway Council. The campaign used research to understand different audiences, their behaviours, barriers and motivations, before developing activity around physical activity and eating well. Read more about our Medway Can campaign here: https://www.hitchmarketing.co.uk/case-studies/medway-can-healthy-weight-challenge/

At Hitch, we know that effective health messaging starts with understanding people. What works for one person might not work for another, which is why making healthier choices feel realistic, accessible and achievable matters.

As Snack-tember gets underway, it’s a great opportunity to think about the small changes that can make a difference. 💚

At Hitch, we believe the best work starts with understanding people.

Whether we're developing insight, shaping strategy, creating communications or delivering a campaign, we take the time to understand the audience: their experiences, behaviours, motivations and the barriers they face.

We use insight to help shape:
🔎 Research – understanding the people and issues that matter
💡 Strategy – turning insight into clear direction
✍️ Messaging & creative – developing communications that resonate
📱 Campaign delivery – bringing ideas to life across the right channels
📊 Evaluation – understanding what worked, what didn't and what we can learn

Because the better you understand your audience, the better decisions, communications and outcomes you can create.

That's the approach we bring to every project we work on.

Happy International Left-Handers Day ✋

Apparently around 1 in 10 people are left-handed.

At Hitch, we’re a little above average - around 40% of the team are left-handed. We’re not saying that explains anything about us, but it might explain the number of smudged notebooks and slightly awkward desk setups.

It’s also a nice little reminder that so much of everyday life is designed around what works for most people, whether that’s scissors, ring binders, desks, tools or the way we naturally lay things out.

Good design, good communication and good services work better when they think about the people who might otherwise be overlooked.

So today, here’s to the lefties - making it work in a very right-handed world.

August is National Wellness Month, which feels like a good moment to reflect on the different things that shape people’s wellbeing.

It’s rarely just about one choice or one behaviour. Mental health, confidence, physical activity, early diagnosis, independence, social connection and the places people live can all play a part.

A few projects we’ve worked on have explored this in different ways, from supporting young people’s mental health and resilience, to encouraging active travel, reducing health risks and understanding the barriers people face in moving forward.

Wellbeing looks different for everyone. That’s why the best work starts with understanding what people are actually experiencing in their day-to-day lives.

For Plastic Free July, we’re thinking about how small, everyday behaviours can create bigger environmental change.

Reusable and refillable packaging has huge potential to reduce single-use plastic, but uptake depends on more than simply telling people it is “better for the planet”. People need to understand what the option is, know how it works, remember to use it, and feel that it fits easily into everyday routines.

That’s exactly what we explored through our research, where Hitch delivered in-depth insight into consumer understanding, language and behaviours around refill and reuse. The project gathered more than 2,300 responses and used the COM-B model to identify the drivers and barriers shaping consumer action. The findings showed that habit formation is key, and that interventions should focus on making reuse feel easy, familiar and rewarding.

Last week, our intern Matilda had the fantastic opportunity to attend the European Social Marketing Conference in Montpellier, France.

As part of the experience, Matilda took part in the Social Marketing Key Concepts course, heard from leading voices in the field, and even received a book from author Jeff French himself. A pretty memorable way to build on her growing knowledge of social marketing!

Reflecting on the conference, Matilda said:
“It was such a brilliant first-hand experience of the world of social marketing. I learnt so much and came away feeling even more inspired about how social marketing can be used to create positive change.”

It was a brilliant opportunity for Matilda to deepen her understanding, meet people working across the sector, and bring fresh learning back to the team.

Hitch is delighted to be attending the European Social Marketing Conference 2026 from the 8th-10th July!🇫🇷

Gary Wootten will be presenting an accepted abstract: Mobilising Community Capital for Night-Time Safety: A Case Study of Street Angels in Chester and Birkenhead.

The presentation will explore how volunteer-led, community-based action can support safer night-time economies, bringing together local partners, faith communities, volunteers and public services to provide practical, compassionate support to people who may be vulnerable or at risk.

We’re proud to see Hitch-funded work being shared on an international platform, and look forward to bringing back learning from the conference to inform future behaviour change and community safety projects.

This Men’s Health Week, we’re reflecting on the power of awareness campaigns in helping people take action.

At Hitch Marketing, much of our work focuses on turning complex health information into clear, accessible messages that encourage real behaviour change. Whether it's increasing awareness, encouraging conversations, or helping people access support, effective communication can play an important role in improving health outcomes.

One important reminder this week: local pharmacies can provide quick and convenient support for a range of men’s health needs, including advice, vaccinations, and health checks.

Sometimes the first step towards better health is simply knowing where to start.
