Platypus Digital

Who we are

We use the internet to connect charities to the people they need, like donors, fundraisers and people who need their vital services. We believe that digital success lies in joined up thinking. That’s why we cover all digital angles, from Google Ads to digital strategy and everything in between.

We are big believers in:

• a digital future for good causes – we get charities ready to deliver their services online in an increasingly digital world
• strong digital skills – top quality digital marketing skills is the standard we believe in (and that’s a bar that’s getting higher every day).
• being easy to work with – we do what we said we were going to do, and good relationships with our clients are non-negotiable.

We want Platypus Digital to be a great place to work. We work with charities because we genuinely want to make a difference in the world and in order to do great work, we need a happy and fulfilled team. 

We are a certified B Corp. Scoring highly on the workers score is one proof point that we’re doing something right for the people who work here. And we’re committed to doing even better.

Our culture and values

We are a digital marketing agency that only works with charities. We want to use digital to make a positive difference in the world. 

We do this through digital marketing services like paid search, paid social, creating digital marketing strategies, and more.

Our values are really important to us. They are:

1. Make a positive difference – We achieve this through the charities we partner with, and by volunteering, donating, and campaigning both in and out of work.

2. Have each other’s backs – We are committed to understanding and supporting our colleagues’ personal and professional needs, especially during challenging times.

3. Tell it like it is – We value transparency and honesty, encouraging open communication within our team and with clients. This includes sharing knowledge, discussing work openly, and seeking help when needed.

4. Go the extra mile – We are dedicated to delivering outstanding results for our clients. By emotionally connecting with their causes, we build long-term partnerships and consistently exceed expectations.

We work with charities like Amnesty International, Mental Health Foundation and Young Lives vs Cancer to raise money and connect them to people who are looking for support.

We collaborate together through one to one meetings, team meetings, team retros and monthly team get togethers.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

We are working hard to become an anti-racist and truly inclusive employer.

We have an anonymous recruitment process in place to help reduce unconscious bias within our recruitment process.

We only want to shortlist and hire candidates based on ability.

This means our shortlist will remove names, employment and education history and LinkedIn profile links. The people at Platypus who communicate with candidates to arrange tests and interviews are not the same who who shortlist, interview and decide on the successful candidates.

The application questions, task and interview questions will focus on your technical skills and alignment with our values.
