“We chose to partner with Beano Brain on this important and potentially difficult to research topic for two main reasons. Firstly due to their specialism in knowing how to engage and speak to young people. Secondly due to their pedigree at distilling insights that can drive change in businesses and organisations. After the initial wave, the project is already starting to exceed expectations and has so much value across the organisation”
