“embed™ is the first company I have worked with that truly has learning design at its heart. They are not a creative studio that happens to make learning. They come directly from the world of learning and development. They understand the complexities, the engagement pitfalls, and the realities of delivering learning that works.

That experience changes everything. It means they do not just complete a job. They support the outcome. They get underneath the request to understand the behaviour and capability, and they design for that.

That combination of learning expertise, empathy and outcome focused design is rare. It is why Embed stand out in the market for us.”

Case studies

The Institute of Leadership

Membership body – leadership and management CPD – redesign commercial learning product.

IoL wanted to transform legacy leadership content into a scalable digital learning offer, bringing their Five Values of Leadership framework to life within a new LMS.

We led strategic discovery, developed a content roadmap and design concept, then built 50 interactive modules in just 8 weeks, integrating them fully into the LMS. The result was My Leadership+, a modular, future-ready learning model with structured pathways, micro-credentials and stronger member engagement.

We continue to work as a strategic partner, supporting IoL with product strategy and ongoing LMS and content maintenance.

ECITB

Construction & engineering – F2F training design & visual redesign.

ECITB were facing challenges with outdated face-to-face content that no longer matched the look & feel and standard of their newly designed eLearning suite.

We rebuilt the face-to-face material around clear learning outcomes, using AI-supported rewriting, interactive elements and persona-led design to refresh and standardise their approach.

The result was content that matched the quality of the digital eLearning, with industry-specific illustrations bringing it to life.

Matter

B2B sales & marketing – video-led sales training.

Matter B2B’s sales team were struggling to cut through the noise, with cold outreach going unanswered and conversations failing to start. We designed a short, practical online course that helped their Business Development Managers use personal, confident video to connect with buyers in a more natural way. The result was more replies, better conversations and more deals closed, with video now a core part of how Matter B2B sells.

Interledger Foundation

Global technology NGO – end-to-end eLearning & LMS strategy.

We worked with Interledger Foundation, a global tech organisation, to bring learning to a complex, fast-changing environment with no existing strategy.

Through global discovery and persona-driven journeys, we designed interactive courses, sourced an open-source Moodle LMS to match their community-learning philosophy, and supported course building and team training.

UK Coaching

National coaching organisation – learning design consultancy partnership.

UK Coaching wanted to strengthen its approach to learning design and ensure future development was grounded in learner insight and best practice. We carried out in-depth discovery, including learner feedback analysis, product reviews and stakeholder workshops, to inform evidence-led recommendations.

The partnership has since grown beyond a single project, building internal capability, adding specialist capacity and helping UK Coaching take a more strategic, evidence-led approach to developing learning for coaches across the UK.
