Leeds-based marketing agency Youbee Media have been on a mission since September 2020 to ensure Yorkshire businesses appreciate the growth and returns that come from collaborating with the right marketing partner. Last month, Youbee Media took the prestigious title of ‘Marketing Agency of the Year’ for Yorkshire, in the national Prestige Awards for the second consecutive year.
Yorkshire Prestige judge Osmaan Mahmood said “The team at Youbee Media continue to take on bigger challenges and empower business leaders to elevate their brands through a cutting-edge mixture of traditional and innovative tools. These aren’t confined to businesses from certain industries either, and the consultancy’s knowledge has ensured its services are extremely versatile.”
“Youbee Media only began operating in 2020, but it now supports more than 50 brands across the country with innovative marketing solutions.” Osmaan Mahmood marked the consultancy’s ambition as a core reason for the award.
Explaining what gives Youbee Media their ‘winning edge’ over other agencies in the Yorkshire area, Director Rebecca Hopwood says “We listen, we work hard, and we bring joy! Youbee Media perform as an extension of our clients’ businesses, so we can react quickly to changes in their industry and hit the ground running with upcoming campaigns. We’re dedicated solution finders.”
The awards and accolades have had a direct impact on recruitment and business growth. Director, Rebecca says “It’s amazing that for such a young agency, we’re being recognised for all of the good we do.”
Youbee Media are a Leeds Mindful Employer, a high growth AD:VENTURE business and have all team members engaged with the #WECAN (Women Empowered through Coaching And Networking) programme. Looking after the team and upskilling the workforce has been a primary focus of the Leeds Agency.
Taking a holistic approach, Youbee Media look for unique marketing opportunities from every angle. While they develop an understanding of each client’s arena, their professional distance creates fresh perspectives, enabling the team to think outside the box and identify new marketing possibilities.
“The awards and recognition we’ve received are an affirmation of the great marketing we’re doing for our clients. We don’t always shout about the results we’ve generated – we let our clients and other industry experts do that for us” says Rebecca Hopwood.
In just over two years in business, Youbee Media have been nominated for ‘New Business of the Year’ in the Yorkshire Choice Awards, and ‘Best Business in Yorkshire’ in the SME Business Awards.
As Youbee Media approach their third year in business, they show no signs of slowing down – and more hunger for the next challenge. We ask Rebecca what’s next on the horizon. “Businesses are reacting to rising costs and looking for new ways to navigate challenging times. Youbee Media are looking at how we can be more agile and offer something competitive that maybe other agencies aren’t prepared to do. We’ll also be delivering some great workshops in 2023 which will reach a new audience.”
As an agency, Youbee Media tailor their approach. Rebecca says “We know that one solution doesn’t suit everyone – so we’ll keep producing new ideas to support as many people as we can.”
Youbee Media are awaiting the outcome of the recently closed SME Business Awards and other industry accolades they have been nominated for over the next 12 months.
