- Why Yawn?

We believe that good marketing is like a yawn. It gets to you and goes around the room.

our story

Based in the fine city of Norwich, Yawn works with a wide variety of clients across the UK.

We’ve collaborated with century-old authorities to rethink their strategic communications. We’ve helped launch startups and products, bringing fresh perspectives to their industries. We’ve supported forward-thinking SMEs in reaching new audiences and refreshing their proposition. And we’ve empowered not-for-profits to embrace digital strategies and think outside the box.
