Jaywing
Data science and integrated marketing agency, built on numbers
What they do
Jaywing is an integrated marketing agency with data science at its core. Founded as a data specialist a quarter of a century ago, they have grown into one of the top integrated agencies outside London, with offices in Leeds (Globe Point, LS11), Sheffield, Sydney and Melbourne.
The Leeds office sits on the third floor of Globe Point, 1 Globe Road, LS11 5FD. It shares a phone line with the wider UK business and operates as a full-service hub rather than a satellite.
Their work spans strategy, creative, media and data science. Clients include Yorkshire Tea, PizzaExpress, ASDA, Virgin Money, Yorkshire Water, Pepsi Max, Castrol, Mazda, Doritos and Twitter. The range is broad, but the common thread is measurement: campaigns are built around attribution, marketing mix modelling and first-party data, not just creative instinct.
Proprietary tooling is a recurring theme. Their Decision platform appears across several case studies — optimising paid media spend for Hair & Beauty Company and Euro Car Parts, and supporting ADT on customer journey work. AI-powered modelling features in their Virgin Money case study, focused on understanding customer behaviour.
Recent wins include being named Campaign's Integrated Marketing Agency of the Year finalist, winning Best Digital Marketing Campaign at the 2024 Northern Digital Awards, and holding Google Premier Partner status into 2026.
In June 2024 they were appointed by Yorkshire Tea to cover brand development, website design and development, creative content production and social media. In October 2025 PizzaExpress named them as CRM and performance media partner following a competitive pitch.
What sets them apart
Most agencies have added data capabilities in the last few years. Jaywing's position is that they started there. Data is not a department bolted onto a creative shop — it is the foundation the agency was built on. That history shapes how they approach briefs: numbers come first, stories follow.
Marketing mix modelling is one area where this shows up concretely. A Q&A published in January 2024 featured their marketing effectiveness team discussing the discipline in detail. For ASDA, they identified over £3 million of marketing spend efficiencies. For Yorkshire Water, data-driven creative contributed to saving 6.8 billion litres of water. For Stokke, an optimised digital strategy produced a 228% increase at checkout.
The team numbers over 250 people across the group — described elsewhere in their careers material as closer to 300 — covering creatives, developers, strategists, data scientists and media specialists. The careers page lists open roles in Leeds including a Senior Copywriter and a Midweight Software Engineer (Full Stack), both hybrid.
Benefits include a 35-hour working week, 25 days holiday rising by up to five days per year of service, enhanced maternity and paternity pay, pension, healthcare and life assurance. The agency was named a great place to work in January 2024.
Their three stated principles are: think critically, work collaboratively, show conviction. Whether that translates to day-to-day practice is for employees to judge, but the principles at least reflect the analytical culture the agency describes.
