We are a leading charity digital marketing agency. 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.
 
Here’s what we do for charities.

Digital Reviews

We review your use of digital and give you a roadmap to improve it.​

PPC Retainers

We manage Google Ads accounts to recruit donors, volunteers and service users for your charity.

Training​

We give our clients the tools to do great digital for themselves through our fun training.

Facebook Advertising​

We deliver regular giver and fundraiser acquisition campaigns using Facebook advertising.

SEO

Our Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) work identifies how well optimised your content is for supporters, volunteers, and people to find your services.

Why work with us?

Since 2014, we have been working with charities to help them raise more donations, recruit fundraisers, campaign more effectively and reach even more beneficiaries. We have worked with over 160 nonprofits to enhance their digital marketing efforts and raise more money for their cause.

We care about charities. That’s why we give our staff £1,000 each to donate to the charity of their choice every year. We also have a 10% time initiative, where our team can spend up to 10% of their working week working pro bono for a charity of their choosing.

Our client relationships are important to us. Better relationships mean better results. So we put effort into making our relationships with clients as strong as possible. Our team have regular catch up calls and meetings with our clients, and we pride ourselves on always being there when we’re needed.

But above all, we are charity digital experts. We don’t sit still whilst the digital world is moving. We are constantly progressing, learning and investing in staff training to keep us at the forefront of digital trends.

Who we work with

“I've worked with the Platypus team multiple times. They're the agency we always go back to because of their broad range of skills, consistently great team, good sense and pragmatism and the fact that hey are always a joy to work with."
Lynn RobertsAssistant Director - Digital & Innovation, Action for Children

"We have worked with Platypus on a number of big projects; from understanding what Parkinson’s UK needs from a Digital Fundraising team to developing Data Studio dashboards that our teams can work with on a daily basis. It is great to work with an agency who ‘get us’ and can help us with such a wide variety of digital projects in such a knowledgeable way."
Emily SturdyDigital Supporter Engagement Lead, Parkinson's UK

“In a sometimes confusing and murky digital world, the guys at Platypus are a breath of fresh air. They know their stuff, they tell us it straight and really care about the work we do together. There’s a true sense of partnership between the Sightsavers and Platypus teams, which makes working together more productive and more enjoyable.”
Ella PierceHead of Digital Fundraising, Sightsavers

"Platypus are an awesome agency to work with - their expertise of PPC is fantastic and they have transformed our Google Grants account. Huge thanks to the amazing Nikki for being such a patient and knowledgeable trainer."

So fab to hear that Platypus are as good as I thought they were. Feedback from the team was that they were a "dream to work with" on our Christmas campaign, "Understand and totally got us." Thanks guys, you've helped a lot of children with cancer with your genius.
