Protect what we love

Culture has the power to shift the mindsets of billions and inspire people to act through the things in their lives they love. When the mainstream moves, politicians and business leaders follow. That is why Count Us In focuses on culture as a driver of change for climate, health and nature.

In 2026, football – the world’s most popular cultural force – is the centre of our strategy. Football generates joy and passion for billions, creating huge potential to connect climate, health and nature to mainstream audiences and to mobilise fans.

Our plan combines country-specific campaigns – including in the UK, Brazil, Mexico, and the US – with global mobilisation around major football moments. When the mainstream’s priorities visibly shift, government and business leaders are compelled to respond, through ambitious policy and systemic solutions. 

A new approach to climate
and nature campaigning

We engage the mainstream with climate and nature action through their passions and interests, working across three core pillars.

Groundbreaking popular culture campaigns

We develop at-scale campaigns that draw learnings to enhance future campaign design.

Campaigns that grab the moment

We drive culture campaigns linked to specific advocacy moments and opportunities.

A global campaigning ecosystem

We bring together an ever-growing collaborative ecosystem of organizations and individuals to inform successful campaign design globally.

Data-led citizen focus

To be most successful, we apply a data-led, citizen-centric approach combined with rigorous audience research to inform the development of a multi-phased campaign.

In the process, we determine the most optimal messages, which climate actions resonate best with the audience, and how to most effectively inspire them to take first steps.

Building an ecosystem

Engaging audiences on climate requires more expertise than any single organization can quickly muster. We bring together key experts within the field to turbocharge the power of culture.

Our partner coalition functions as a one-stop-shop, bringing together the right team of experts and practitioners, putting research into practice to help culture-making organizations, brands and communities develop, execute, and measure their consumer sustainability strategy.
