ABOUT MORE IN COMMON
More in Common is a research agency working across the US, UK, Germany, France, Poland, Spain 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 and part think tank. We provide a full suite of research services including polling and focus group research; evidence reviews; audience mapping; strategic communications and campaign development. More in Common are members of the British Polling Council and were among the most accurate pollsters of the 2024 General Election.
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 of the big challenges facing British society today – but crucially why they think it. Our approach helps both to amplify the voices of groups often left out of political and media debates, and supports leaders in institutions across government, media and civil society to better navigate tricky and divisive issues. Our insights are regularly used by senior political leaders across all political parties to shape their thinking and strategy on the major issues facing the country.
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; to understanding how the British public is navigating major debates from EDI training 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 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 test their manifesto ideas from the National Farmers Union to Rethink Mental Illness among many others.
