Join our client services team

If you want to advance your digital marketing career, but want a change from vanity metrics, then this might be the role for you…

You Platforms is more than an agency. We own our audiences across Leeds-List, Yorkshire-List and Manchester-List which gives us access to incredible data science that drives the success of our client work.

We create awesome multi-channel, native advertising campaigns that make our readers want to take action and we’re looking for people to deliver them for our clients.

Here are a few of the ways that we’re different:

– Our average time on page is 6X the industry average
– We achieve 400% more conversions
– We have an almost unbelievable bounce rate of just 5.9%

About the role:

This role handles onboarding after a client win, managing the campaign from inception, discovery, asset collection through to evaluation and rebooking. 

You’ll need to know all the stages required to deliver a great digital content campaign and create a seamless client experience, who will make sure the campaign delivers the best possible results. 

We do what is right, not what’s easy. It takes charm, wit and wicked organisational skills, but it’s a lot of fun, especially if you like a fast-paced environment and exceeding expectations.

You’ll need to be a people person – someone who can manage stakeholders at every level, building their trust and possessing the confidence to present ideas and push back on amends.

Whether you’re coming from an account handling role in an agency or from a client-side position, you’ll use the skills you’ve developed in your career to take responsibility for the success of campaigns and the happiness of our client partners.

What you'll be doing:

  • Managing multi-channel digital campaigns from start to finish
  • Regularly communicating with clients and stakeholders by email, phone and through meetings
  • Keeping clients happy and campaigns on schedule
  • Working with our business development team to onboard clients
  • Clearly communicating with clients so they always feel valued
  • Creating project plans, managing deadlines and handling resources
  • Gathering info, assets and insights for client campaigns
  • Creating briefs for our studio team to produce campaigns
  • Analysing campaign performance and identifying improvements
  • Keeping an eye on industry trends and benchmarks so you know how we compare
  • Retaining and rebooking clients by providing fantastic customer service

Our application process:

  • We're looking for you to demonstrate your commercial marketing experience in your application
  • We'll be reaching out by email to arrange an initial informal chat by phone in the first instance
  • There is a short, remote test to assess your knowledge of GA4 and campaign briefing
  • This will be followed by an in-person interview where you can get a feel for us and the role

Experience required:

Digital experience is essential, and here we’ll help you develop your skills in analytics, measurement and every stage of a digital campaign.

There’s huge development potential for those that want to rise through the ranks; with the opportunity to grow with us (and earn a tasty bonus to boot).
