Careers at You Platforms: what it’s like to work here
A different kind of media and marketing business
You Platforms is the group behind Leeds-List, Yorkshire-List and Manchester-List — trusted regional publishing brands with engaged audiences across the North. We create content-led campaigns, partnerships and audience experiences that help brands achieve meaningful results.
Working here is different from working in a typical digital agency. We operate in a content agency environment where delivery moves quickly, expectations are high, and the impact of your work is visible.
Whether you’re in the studio, commercial team or campaign delivery, your work matters because it directly influences audience growth, campaign performance and client success.
Why it’s not a typical agency job
A lot of agencies talk about creativity, disruption and results. We’re more interested in doing the work properly.
That means putting the audience first, creating campaigns people genuinely want to engage with, and holding ourselves to a higher standard than simply delivering activity on time.
We care about whether the work performs, whether the client sees value, and whether the result is strong enough to lead to repeat business.
If you want a role where you can hide behind process, wait to be told what to do, or stay far away from outcomes, this probably won’t be the right fit. If you want to do work that is creative, commercially relevant and clearly connected to results, it could be.

Our values at You Platforms
What we expect from our team
We look for people who take ownership, think proactively and care about doing great work.
That means being switched on, responsive, organised and willing to solve problems without waiting for someone else to step in. It means caring about standards, understanding what success looks like, and staying close to the performance of your work rather than treating delivery as someone else’s responsibility.
We value good judgement, strong communication, attention to detail and the ability to work at pace without losing quality.
What you get in return
In return, you get more trust, more responsibility and more visible impact than you would in many larger organisations.
You’ll be close to decision-making. You’ll see the results of your work more clearly. You’ll have the chance to shape ideas, improve what we do and grow with a business that is still building. For the right people, that creates real opportunity — not just to do a job, but to make a mark.
