More

in Common is a research agency working across the US, UK, Germany, France, Poland and Brazil to tackle polarisation and division. More in Common leads and supports initiatives to build more united, inclusive, and resilient societies. Our mission is to understand the forces driving us apart, help societies find common ground and bring people together to tackle shared challenges. In the UK, our work is best described as being part consultancy, part think tank.

We provide a full suite of research services including polling and focus group research; evidence reviews and secondary data analysis; audience mapping and audience strategy; strategic communications strategy and campaign development. More in Common is a member of the British Polling Council.

Our work is informed by our ground-breaking segmentation of the British public
. This unique values-based lens to our quantitative and qualitative research means we can understand not only what the public thinks on the big challenges facing British society today – but crucially why they think it. Our insights help leaders in government, the media, business, and civil society to develop better strategies and communications – particularly in reaching disengaged communities far from the Westminster/London bubble – and to better navigate tricky and divisive issues.

Over the last year, More in Common has published agenda-setting thought leadership on a whole range of debates facing British society – from exploring the public’s starting points on climate action and tackling crime and anti-social behaviour; to understanding how the British public is navigating major debates from trans and gender identity to the conflict in Israel and Palestine; to highlighting the public’s expectations on mental health reform and what’s next for the levelling up agenda.

Our work is regularly covered in the British press and media and we’ve developed a series of partnerships with broadcasters and newspapers to deliver top-quality research insights.

Through our consultancy, More in Common has also supported dozens of partners with insights and strategic communications support. We’ve helped national institutions such as the BBC, British Library and National Trust to better understand and communicate with their audiences, we’ve helped partners in government and civil society with the set-up and delivery of the Homes for Ukraine scheme, and we’ve supported a range of partners to prepare campaigns, messaging and policy proposals from the National Farmers Union to the Joseph Rowntree Foundation among many others.

In 2025, More in Common has a range of exciting projects in the pipeline, including:
- Refreshing our core values model with a deeper understanding of the attitudes and worldviews that shape the most important divides in Britain in 2025
- Supporting the aid sector to deliver more effective messages to reach beyond their highly engaged activist base
- Working with video game designers to develop strategic interventions with low-trust groups to tackle disinformation
- Developing new strategies to talk about men’s health issues in ways that avoid culture war traps
- Expanding our international research offer
- Working with national institutions to help them better understand their audiences and users
- Working with leading transport authorities and think tanks to help navigate backlash against active transport and public transport initiatives.

DIVERSITY, EQUITY + INCLUSION
We will have a better chance of uniting divided societies if our team reflects a broad range of social and cultural backgrounds, beliefs, political opinions, and life experiences. We particularly encourage applications from underrepresented and minority communities.
