Do any of these describe how you’re feeling right now?

» Your current outreach efforts aren’t producing the desired results, but you’re not sure how to pivot.

» Your messages are only reaching the same core audience, yet you need more people to get on board.

» Your campaign feels like it has stalled out, and you’re not sure how to continue the momentum.

» You know more behavior change strategies are needed in the project, but you aren’t sure where to start.

I get it. 

We work hard to encourage better decisions for the environment. It’s frustrating when our messages don’t get through and don’t produce the desired results.

“Why are they still doing the things we’re telling them not to do?!?!”

The truth is that our traditional communication approaches aren’t working hard enough for us anymore.

Today’s audiences are ready and willing to create change, but they need clear guidance and support to channel their energy toward impactful actions.

More knowledge, awareness, shame, guilt, and doom won’t get us to where we need to go.

It’s time to flip the script!

The Making Moves course helps you move away from traditional approaches and use new techniques to motivate action.

Through 8 weeks of lessons and worksheets, you and your cohort-mates will clarify behavior goals and audiences, explore the psychology behind why people will or will not take action, and identify practical strategies and tactics for mobilizing change.

By the end of the course, you will have an action plan designed to engage and activate your audiences, grounded in best practices from the behavioral sciences, psychology, and marketing.

Enrollment in the Making Moves course gives you access to:

» The most relevant theories and tactics from marketing & advertising, behavioral & social sciences, and conservation & environmental programs.

» Guidebook, worksheets & templates to apply concepts directly to your behavior change projects.

» Additional resources to dive deeper into all the topics covered (if you want to).

» Personalized feedback, ideas, and guidance on your project throughout the course.

» Lifetime access to the course materials AND the Making Moves community with annual events and networking opportunities with over 400 behavior change enthusiasts from across the globe.

As someone with a background in marine conservation and policy, this course helped me to take my science communication skills to the next level! The course was a massive value to our organization. Plus I now find myself connected to a network of individuals working to solve the same issues!

Just like it did for me, going through the course made conservation outreach and communication more approachable. From understanding your audience to framing the right conservation messages. All the resources are at your disposal, so you can always make references. And yes, Brooke is incredible!

‘Making Moves’ has helped me create more concise, clear calls to action. And I’m thinking more critically about how to flip passive messaging. After all, we want people to take action! The course has helped me create messages that are easily understood and easy to follow.

Brooke’s course was incredibly engaging, useful, and fun! We didn’t just learn theories, she gave us actual tools and techniques that we applied to real-world challenges, building strategies as we went for spurring social movements in our own work.

Meet your instructor (that’s me!)

Brooke Tully has been training non-profit organizations and local governments to use behavior change marketing in their environmental programs for over 15 years.

Brooke spent the first decade of her career working in ad agencies, such as Ogilvy, helping clients like American Express and British Airways reach target audiences to build brand awareness, change preferences, and sell products.

In 2007, she joined the nonprofit organization Rare, where she designed and implemented behavior change campaigns that inspired local communities in Mongolia, Thailand, Laos, and The Philippines to adopt more sustainable fishing and hunting practices.

Since 2016, Brooke has been operating independently, leading workshops, online courses, and consulting services to provide practical steps for designing impactful engagement strategies and plans.

This course is invaluable! Brooke has an uncanny ability to distill years of wisdom and practice into bite sized pieces everyone can understand, along with the resources and support needed to apply the work effectively for years to come. It was one epiphany after another. Bravo, and thank you!!

Brooke is a whiz at applying human behavior dynamics and effective marketing strategies to conservation problems. You’ll learn how to design an environmental campaign or outreach plan that motivates people to address critical environmental issues.

This course knocks down the dreaded “silos”! It teaches you how to combine what is known from scholarly theory and marketing/industry principles, and use both in practical applications. I learned a lot and came away with an actionable plan!

I've read through everything here and I’m still not sure this course is right for me.

I’m happy to answer any questions you have and hold a quick video call to help determine if Making Moves is the right move for you. You can schedule a 30-minute chat with me here.

What is the time commitment for taking the course?

At the minimum, the course requires 90 minutes each week to join a live session or watch the replay. Completing the worksheets is optional (but required for the certificate), and each worksheet can take 1-2 hours to complete. You will not submit worksheets weekly, so you can pace that work according to your availability.

There are a lot of other behavior change courses out there. What makes Making Moves different?

I’m excited to see the growth in interest and offerings for learning about behavior change in conservation. Making Moves is a unique learning experience in the following ways:

A focus on the practical application of concepts and theories. A primary goal of the Making Moves course is to equip participants with the skills needed to apply best practices in behavior change communication to their projects right away. We push beyond understanding theories toward the many ways we can use those insights in our day-to-day work.

A focus on options, not formulas. A key piece of building the capacity for behavior change techniques is deciding what works best for your specific goal, audience, geography, and site-based context. Therefore, the course focuses on providing impactful and realistic options with frameworks that help you design the best strategy for your project.

Support along the way. No participant should be left feeling stuck or unsure about effectively applying the course concepts to their work. This is why I offer worksheet review periods and private working sessions throughout the 8-week program and beyond. Support is available for everyone as needed.

It’s more than just a course. Making Moves has expanded into an ongoing learning network of over 400 behavior change enthusiasts. After the 8-week program ends, the fun and learning continue with regular webinars and meet-ups, private forums to chat and share, and networking resources.

What happens if I can’t attend one of the classes or jam sessions?

No worries! Each lesson and jam session is recorded, and the replays are available on the course website within 8 hours of the live event so you can easily catch up before the next lesson.

Are the lesson replays only available for a limited time?

Nope. Course participants have lifetime access to the replays and course materials.

Do you offer a refund policy?

For sure. All refund requests made by 8:00am EDT on the day before Lesson #2 will receive a full refund. This means you can attend the first lesson and decide to leave the course before Lesson 2 with a full refund. Refund requests made any time after 8:00am EDT on the day before Lesson #2 will receive a 70% refund of the amount paid.
