WHO WE ARE
In the Round is a marketing communications, information and outreach consultancy agency. We specialise in providing advice for transport planning, mobility management, travel demand management, event management and overall customer experience. We consider ourselves unique in providing a high impact service dedicated entirely to influencing individual, community and organisational behaviours across a variety of sectors.
Whether that’s encouraging more appropriate use of the car, facilitating better use of the transport system in support of economic or other goals, enabling users to adapt to the transition to contactless bank card technology or defining and delivering travel and transport communications to help users navigate major disruption or events in the right way.
We work on projects that have a direct impact on the abilities of organisations to go about their business, that directly benefit individual’s daily lives and that enable communities to further themselves. We began life in 2012 and since then continue to flourish.

Where it all began
In the Round came into existence in 2012 shortly after our founders worked together on the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
With 11 million spectators due to descend onto an already very busy City organisers recognised that traditional approaches to dealing with transport challenges would not cut it. A team of behaviour change specialists was brought together with our co-founders at the core, to develop and implement a range of travel demand management marketing, communication and engagement interventions. It was a success, culminating in 35% of Londoners changing their travel behaviour which in turn enabled the visiting spectators to contribute to what was at the the heralded as the best ever Olympic Games.
After their participation in the London 2012 Games, Terri Lynam, an experienced behaviour change marketing communications professional, and Jon Foley, a transport planning and travel behaviour change specialist, formed In the Round recognising the potential difference they could make in helping users adjust their behaviours for both individual and societal good.
Since then In the Round has successfully supported the organisers of multiple mass participation events, national and regional governments, transport operators, private sector organisations across the globe in achieving award winning changes in behaviour.
We enjoy what we do. We help others enjoy what they do. We work together with our clients, colleagues and those we engage with collaboratively to achieve mutual benefit.
