About Sponge
Hi. We’re Sponge.
Our mission is to find organisations looking for "engaging" learning and help them create strategic learning: workplace learning their people never forget.

Creating transformation programs for global leaders for 20+ years.
We’re an experience company.
Sponge creates high-quality, immersive, digital and blended learning experiences that embody your brand, enrich your Employee Value Proposition, and deliver seminal career learning moments.
We bring a bit of boutique to big business.
Our clients typically have at least 20,000+ employees - so we are very familiar with the realities of big corporates.
So, we know that even big corporates don't always want "big box" vendors who deliver scale by churning out cookie-cutter solutions.
With Sponge, you get the experience of a boutique agency - with the attentive ear and energetic creativity you'd expect - but with deep experience in delivering at huge scale, for global brands in a wide range of sectors.
We’re strategists
who also execute.
Sponge’s strategic consultancy services aren't like those of your classic consulting firms.
We’ll respond to your strategic business problem, but, unlike big consultancy firms, we can then also execute down to the minute detail - standing by the plan we recommend, to turn it into a pragmatic reality.
We are
brand obsessives.
Our clients have some of the most celebrated and admired brands in the world: Coca Cola, Meta, Ikea…
Like them, we understand the immense power of brand and the importance of its integrity with internal audiences as much as external audiences.
Learning can be a deep and connecting way to embed branded experiences with your employees – to help them build an emotional connection with both the learning matter, and your organisation.
We're in the
ideas business.
Sponge represents a unique meeting point of creative agency and learning specialists.
We bring to bear our knowledge of workplace learning, HR trends, and deep learning science expertise, with an unmatched pedigree as digital experience designers.
It’s at this meeting point that great ideas happen – imbued with strategic learning practices, but brought to life with original stories, media, and interactions your people will never forget.
We believe
context is king.
Where L&D often focuses on content - in reality, it's the strategic business context that really affects whether a learning program creates impact.
Sponge's always-bespoke approach means you get learning strategy and experiences that reflect your organisation's unique story, challenges, and culture.
Which means you get training that resonates deeply with your employees, enriching their workplace experience and simulating relevant scenarios they face daily.
We're a core leader,
in L&D.
We’re a long-standing Fosway ‘Core Leader’, thanks to our ability to serve enterprises of 50k+ learners, with deep solutions across multiple global territories.

It goes without saying that considering ROI when designing learning is important. But how can we prove where that return is coming from or, better yet, pinpoint the exact behaviour we know will see the biggest ROI? We explore just that in this blog post.
Watch the recording of our webinar exploring a strategic approach for connecting your learning initiatives to sustainability priorities.
In this blog post, we explore three key indicators that the problem you're trying to solve requires a strategic approach, rather than simply delivering more learning.
