Workshop Overview

With the emergence of more social platforms, voices are getting louder about what needs to change. As social marketers, we always listen ensuring these voices are at the centre of everything we do.

Co-design empowers people. It recognises people as the experts of their own experience. Co-design is a process that can be applied to learn what programs, products and services people want.

At Social Marketing @ Griffith, we build programs with people rather than for people. Every time we’ve applied co-design, we have generated voluntary behaviour change. Our programs have delivered the positive outcomes we intended to see. Our most recent behaviour change programs have:

  • Reduced koala deaths from dog attacks by 40% and car strikes by 83%
  • Stopped 200,000L of leaves from entering ACT waterways
  • Increased adolescent knowledge about alcohol and drugs and increased their ability to refuse drinking
  • Increased women’s enrolments in STEM programs at University
  • Established community support for a plastic recycling system

Some of our partners we’ve recently co-designed for include:

Queensland GovernmentEnergy QueenslandAustralian Veterinary AssociationNew South Wales GovernmentAustralian Capital Territory GovernmentGreen Technology Center - KoreaDepartment of Defence - Australian GovernmentBeyond Blue

In this one-day workshop we will take you through our co-design process. We will show you how to gather, analyse, and utilise consumer preferences to build better behaviour change programs, products and services.

Thanks to the professional team for the opportunity to upgrade my knowledge on the subject. The course gave me the opportunity to acquire new knowledge and skills to apply in practice in my work to achieve better results.

So well presented! Such practical tools and strategies were modelled in a super fun and enjoyable way. Thank you!

Love how practical and engaging the workshop was. Lots of examples and enough time for Q&A.

Helpful workshop with fun and useful activities. The time past too quickly! Love the take-home resources too.

Great workshop with lots of engaging activities. Lots of examples provided. Lots of takeaway points. Hands-on activities were fun.

This was a perfect opportunity to remove ourselves from work and look more deeply on how we will solve an existing program.

This workshop has improved my confidence in preparation and facilitation.

Simple and concise teaching of something that's very deep and complicated.
