Cybersecurity
Bespoke cybersecurity training.
Protecting your organisation’s systems against cyberattacks, data breaches, phishing, malware and other digital threats is a huge challenge today. While technological defences are essential, the human element remains the most vulnerable link in your cybersecurity chain. This presents a unique opportunity to create a seminal learning moment that not only protects your organisation but also deepens employees' connection to your brand and mission.
Partner with Sponge to develop high-quality, bespoke solutions that go beyond traditional training, crafting dramatic, exciting campaigns that draw learners' attention and support new habits.

When did cybersecurity become so boring?
Let's put the storytelling and drama back into your cybersecurity training campaigns.
It's a topic that covers criminal networks, global crises, social engineering, identity thieves, and the risk of millions in company losses. Yet, somehow, most cybersecurity training has become amazingly tedious.
You want your employees to wake up and take the messages in, so you have to captivate them.
Communications & campaigns
Let's make cybersecurity
Let's make cybersecurity
part of the conversation.
Creative campaigns that build a buzz beyond the formal learning environment can be that extra touchpoint that brings cybersecurity to the surface of people's attention.
We've worked with megabrands like Meta on training and awareness communications that put cybersecurity at the heart of the conversation for the duration of a multi-touchpoint campaign.
Gamified cybersecurity training
Learning goes deeper
Learning goes deeper
when it’s fun.
Sponge builds games, apps, simulations and other bespoke digital learning solutions that train your colleagues to be the first line of defence against cyber threats, hackers, phishing and other everyday attacks.
Gamified approaches are an incredibly effective way to capture employees’ attention, provide a safe space for practice, and reinforce knowledge at a practical level.
Interactive video & storytelling
A little entertainment goes a long way.

Sponge's in-house Studio - home to storytellers, scriptwriters, animators, videographers, audiovisual designers, and engineers - can craft you a compelling, story-led training solution that holds leaners' attention.
We underpin all our style with solid substance, working with our teams of Learning Experience Consultants and Learning Designers to embed learning science principles: so the fun is focused on influencing habits and delivering learning objectives.
Client story
Hacktober
Sponge partnered with Meta to reimagine its Hacktober cybersecurity awareness campaign, shifting from traditional in-person events to a fully digital, gamified experience for 75,000 learners worldwide.
Sponge’s creative team developed a bespoke microsite inspired by indie video games, offering a cohesive visual identity and immersive storytelling journey.
Through animations, live-action videos, infographics, and gamification, Sponge ensured the campaign not only engaged learners but also improved content accessibility and data tracking.
75k+
learners, worldwide.
The Meta Hacktober project was a fantastic opportunity to reimagine how a large-scale cybersecurity awareness campaign could be delivered in a fully digital format. By combining engaging storytelling, gamification elements, and a variety of multimedia content, we created an immersive learning journey that not only educated but also excited Meta's global workforce.
