Careers at Hubbub UK

Hubbub is an environmental charity exploring new ways to engage mainstream audiences in sustainability issues. We're positive and design playful campaigns that inspire people to make healthier, greener lifestyle choices, which more often than not help save money and bring people together. We do this by designing and delivering campaigns based on topics relevant to people's day-to-day lifestyles including; food, fashion, homes, neighbourhoods.

We keep things simple, offering practical and realistic solutions that help people to cut waste, make clothes last longer, save money and create cleaner spaces to live and work in. We’re a small, experienced team of doers who share a curiosity and desire to create change. Collaboration is central to our approach. We listen, co-design and are inclusive working at all levels, from grass roots to the boardroom. We base our campaigns on research and insights from across the UK and the world, and measure everything we do so we know what delivers a tangible, positive impact.

Our values

Give a damn about the environment: it’s at the heart of everything we do because we’re committed to taking action on climate change and the environment. We care about the difference we make and are honest about our impact.

Curious: have an interest in people, places, trends, politics and the world we live in. Asks questions, seeks knowledge and has self direction to discover the answers. Has an eye for detail and is intuitive, seeing opportunities.

Entrepreneurial: acts like a leader and embraces context and freedom over control and process. Nimble and brave enough to take risks, trusting instincts to experiment without fear. Proud of independent spirit. Takes initiative and responsibility.

Creative: re-imagining everything. Thinking outside the box. Trusting intuition and bringing magic to the everyday. Continually challenging our own status quo.

Playful: Positive and playful to connect to people, catch imaginations and make people smile, because the world is serious enough. Believes in the power of using humour to create change.

How we work – the Hubbub way

Discover: We listen, observe and ask questions to gain insight and knowledge to understand the people and places we want to inspire. We use our intuition and experience to identify opportunities to instigate action on environmental issues.

Collaborate: we believe the cause is bigger than the organisation. We build collaborations of organisations, big and small, who share our ambition.

Design: We design campaigns that make environmental action desirable. We use behaviour change techniques, positive language and highlight the benefits. We use good design, seasonal hooks and a splash of playfulness.

Experiment: we constantly experiment, measure and adapt what we do, to find out what has the biggest impact.

Scale: We share what we discover, the good and the bad. When it works, we open source our ideas and build transformative opportunities that enable people to replicate and scale to have a bigger impact.
