Platypus Digital is a specialist digital marketing agency dedicated entirely to the charity sector. Founded in 2014 and based in London, the agency works exclusively with charities and is B Corp certified, meaning it meets rigorous standards for social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. The agency's services include Google Ads management (including Google Ad Grants), Meta Ads, search engine optimisation, and Generative Engine Optimisation, helping charities stay visible as AI-powered search reshapes how people find information online.

Its clients include some of the UK's best-known charities: Samaritans, Dementia UK, Amnesty International UK, Parkinson's UK, and Sightsavers.

It takes on fewer clients than it could, preferring to do excellent work for a focused roster.
