Following news of how Facebook data was used to affect voting behaviours in the US, the politics of nudging has come under scrutiny. In advance of Nudgestock 2018, Canvas8 spoke to Rory Sutherland, founder of Ogilvy Change, to discuss what it means to nudge ethically.

Green energy still has an image problem. Research shows that people often need more than just a financial incentive to get them to unplug. Energy start-up Ohmconnect is nudging people into greener consumption habits by combining the power of social influence with monetary reward.

Three in five Britons don’t trust energy suppliers to focus on the best interests of their customers and society. But Bristol Energy aims to change this by reinvesting its profits into the community and local green initiatives. Could this sense of purpose encourage homeowners to make a switch?

No one wants to pay more than need to for their gas or electric but for many, utlities can be confusing. And with research showing more than a quarter of Britons don't know if their current energy tariff gives them value for money, there's room for brands to help people find the best deal.
