About Ruthless Media

The impact of a social media agency, delivered with a personal touch.

Ruthless Media blends a flair for building digital communities
with real-world marketing and training experience.

**Hi, I’m Ruth Young.**

A chartered marketer who helps businesses and entrepreneurs get the very best from social media. I can train you and your staff, develop strategy, run and manage paid ad campaigns, or equip you with a plan and support you to carry it out.
Before I went self employed in 2019, I worked mainly in the not-for-profit sector. I’ve held a variety of youth work, family support and training roles, for well known organisations including Young Enterprise NI and NOW Group. I then moved into the private sector with a job as a Relationship Manager just prior to starting my business.

Each of these roles required me to utilise social media…

to build the organisation’s profile, to engage with supporters and customers, to encourage donations and volunteer support, or boost sales and find new business development opportunities.

I was pretty successful at building active and engaged digital communities for my employers…

I taught myself which platforms were best for each organisation’s needs, discovered all the tricks of the trade for boosting engagement and visibility, and learned to optimise profiles by tweaking settings and polishing online profiles.

Creating content, providing professional training, and developing confidence in other people - these were the things that really fired me up in my work, and the things I was best at doing. When I decided to take the leap into self-employment, choosing what to do was the easiest part!

**I had a clear mission…**
taking the hassle out of social media marketing for those who don’t have the time, skills or understanding to do it well. It has been a pleasure to work with a really diverse range of businesses from right across the UK and Ireland who have trusted me to solve their social media issues and develop their online presence.

The services I offer allow organisations to outsource their social media ads management where I develop a plan, research audiences, create and publish ads including graphics, video and audio, and review their activity regularly to work towards getting the best results possible.
I also provide bespoke training, mentoring, strategy and troubleshooting consultancy for businesses, tailored to their needs and providing actionable steps to help them communicate their message.

What People Are Saying

Reviews

Before working with Ruth, my starting position on how to promote our business via social media was sub zero! Ruth has demystified what appeared to me initially to be another language by challenging me to be clear on what our business needed. Ruth’s hands on and practical approach has been fantastic and my confidence has really increased in this area. Huge thanks to Ruth for her patience and great ideas!

PAULA WILSON, BULLSEYE PEST CONTROL

I highly recommend Ruth as a social media manager. Taking aside the fact that Ruth is a fantastic person and a total professional, her skills to effectively plan, implement and oversee social media campaigns for your business is top class. Ruth can create engaging social media content that will give your business a real social presence on your platform of choice. This is hugely beneficial to businesses for many reasons! If you're looking to take the next step on social media, Ruth is the answer!

JOHN PAUL TAGGART, CORE IMPACT

I realised I needed someone to point me in the right direction with Linkedin. After one meeting I felt so much more confident at using this business platform, you gave me some great advice on making changes to my profile. Accountability is key, and at start of each new session you would check how I had got on with the goals we had set previously. You are so enthusiastic about all you do which in turn means your Clients feel positive and more confident in posting on Linkedin and other social media platforms.

LIZ GRAHAM, GRAHAM SECRETARIAL SERVICES

If you looking for support for your social media then Ruth is the person you should talk to. She has a wealth of experience and knowledge in her profession.

ANDREW DOBBIN, THE BUSINESS MINDSET

Ruth does an excellent job of managing my social media team. Creating structure on our social platforms and brainstorming ideas. She helps formulate our social media strategy and I know that it will be implemented when she is in charge. It means that I know that my business is keeping up to date with the tech-savvy market we are in today and ensures I don't fall behind. Highly Recommend.

Ruth gave me a great Social Media plan that was practical and engaging. She showed me Canva and Splice tricks, and pointed out areas I can improve on. IShe was able to do a lot in the time that we had as well as giving me a great framework based on my products, vision and goals.
