Communication to Connect & Change


Volume PR + Engagement Science Lab

Communication is a Science.

A science so vast there hasn't been a way to use it to improve communication. Until now.

Research from the sciences is rewriting the laws of human communication.

How do we make decisions?

What makes us respond positively to a message?

The sciences study these questions from every direction, but their wisdom lives in disconnected databases and spans decades. So no one benefits from their combined perspective.

Elizabeth Edwards and the Volume PR and Engagement Science Lab teams spent the last 22 years closing the gap between psychology, behavioral science, and neuroscience research and real-world, high-stakes Scaled Communication,

Their discoveries are reshaping the world of communication.
