BBC UX&D

We're pleased to share that after a detailed selection process, we’ve chosen 12 agencies to join our brand new design research roster at the BBC 📢 🎉👏. • 2CV Research • Beano Brain • Big Motive • Class35  • Designit  • Human8 • MTM • Nomensa  • Spotless Interactive  • System Concepts • The Pineapple Lounge • What People Want   Over the next 4 years, they’ll be joining our in-house team of 25 researchers in tackling some of the biggest challenges we face as an organisation, and we can’t wait to get started.   For this selection round, we introduced more rigour and more collaboration to our process. To gain confidence in finding suppliers to meet our needs and model our values, we designed a challenge to surface creative approaches to research problems, set carefully structured questions, and involved our whole research team in evaluating submissions.   We’ve also introduced more flexibility in how we award work, helping us to build longer term partnerships with suppliers while maintaining rigour for higher value projects.   We had 65 brilliant applicants, so it was a tough decision to make. A huge thank you to everyone who took part in the process; we really appreciate all the time and effort that goes into your submissions.   Our roster for 2024 - 2028 includes new suppliers along with talented agencies we’ve worked with before. Between them they represent a diverse mix of research expertise, from specialists to help us tackle specific areas like accessibility and younger audiences, to agencies who offer breadth of design services and experience. It was great to meet you all at our away day last month, and here’s to the start of an exciting collaboration.
