About Diva Creative
Diva Creative is an independent creative marketing and communications agency based in Sheffield, England. Founded in 1997, it develops research-led campaigns, brands and digital experiences focused on social change, public health, sustainable transport and community well-being. Its work serves public bodies, healthcare organisations, charities and cultural institutions.
The agency combines behavioural insights with creative strategy to help organisations communicate with their audiences and encourage practical changes in everyday behaviour. Its portfolio includes smoking cessation, cancer prevention, active travel, clean air, sexual health and public safety initiatives, alongside branding for arts and community organisations.
Research-led creative work
Projects can begin with audience research, public consultation and testing. The team conducts focus groups, qualitative and quantitative surveys, street intercepts and user testing to inform campaign messages and creative development. This research supports brand positioning, messaging frameworks, campaign narratives and visual identity systems.
Diva Creative carries these foundations through to integrated campaigns, copywriting, outdoor advertising and promotional materials. Its digital work includes website design and development, interactive tools, web applications and content management systems. Production capabilities encompass 2D and 3D motion design, animated explainers, live-action filming and audio production. Social media strategy, community management, targeted outreach and public relations extend campaigns across multiple channels.
Campaigns and cultural projects
The agency's work includes Life On 2 Wheels for Transport for Greater Manchester and Legendary Journeys By Bus for Transport for Cornwall, encouraging cycling and bus travel respectively. For The Ramblers, Don't Lose Your Way encouraged volunteers to identify and record historic rights of way.
Its public health portfolio includes Covid's Still Here for Greater Manchester Health and Social Care and digital campaign assets for North Northamptonshire Council's The Quit Hub. In the cultural sector, its Barnsley Civic rebrand combined a modular visual identity with a conversational tone of voice to present the venue as an accessible community arts destination.
