FAQs

What is Commonplace?

Commonplace is the UK and Ireland’s most advanced solution for community engagement and co-design. We are leading the way globally with a data-led community sentiment mapping, survey and communication solution.

Why choose Commonplace?

Commonplace not only enables broader community conversations, it turns those conversations into a rich, data-led understanding. It transforms many voices into key themes, allowing for more inclusive decision-making. This dialogue also speeds up projects by getting local buy-in faster.

Our team of experts have guided over 3200 projects across 60+ themes from development consultations, to wind and solar farms, active travel and safety.

Where is Commonplace available?

Anywhere! We are a UK-based solution and are available to set up projects internationally. We have already hosted community engagement projects in USA, Mainland Europe, Pakistan and New Zealand. The platform is fully translated in 20 languages, including all email communications, helping you reach diverse audiences and geographies. 

What is the difference between Commonplace and Granicus EngagementHQ (also known as Bang The Table)?

Granicus EngagementHQ was founded in Australia and operates across the public sector, working in local government, police and health. 

Commonplace has a deep understanding of the UK and Ireland market, particularly across local authority planning policy, local plans, transport planning, urban regeneration, public realm, health services (NHS) and community safety. In addition, Commonplace works across both public and private sectors to deliver on the agenda of collaboration, co-creation and co-design, ultimately ensuring everyone is engaged in delivering thriving neighbourhoods and communities. We have worked with a number of housebuilders, regeneration experts, commercial landlords and masterplan developers to improve the built environment across all major UK cities. 

Given that we started in the UK and Europe, Commonplace is relied on to deliver and maintain the highest standards in data protection and information security. In addition, Commonplace customers value access to the established community audience, our focus on reach and diversity, mobile-first user interface, advanced community mapping features and AI-driven analytical capabilities.
