ASSOCIATES
We work with associates rather than employees, enabling us to manage peaks and projects as well as tap into specialist talent when needed.
We operate a flexible approach and our talent bank is guided, supported and mentored as much or as little as they like, although all are encouraged to be creative and play to their strengths.
You Do Better has launched a Futures Programme to encourage them to gain their dream client to work with. More about the Futures Programme can be found here. Learn more about our Talent Bank on our meet the team page.
I’m passionate about collaboration and finding innovative ways to buck the trend and inspire others. I employ a model that utilises the skills and experience of associates, some of whom are in employed roles and work with me as their side-hustle and others are post graduate students with a flair for business. I work with them to undertake projects in which they excel, where I’m less capable and they shine.
Ruby Edwards,
Owner, You Do Better PR.
our Work
Work is offered, accepted (or rejected if your current workload or lifestyle doesn’t suit) written and submitted to Ruby. It’s often edited and then published via You Do Better, so you remain anonymous or the recognised author: whichever works best for you.
Associates then invoice You Do Better directly and we pay promptly. Work to date has included regular content for clients’ blogs as well as press releases, social media and digital campaign management. Here’s what one associate has to say:
Working alongside Ruby at You Do Better has been the most liberating experience of my career. Her approach and attitude towards work is like nothing I’ve experienced before. She very much walks the walk and definitely doesn’t just talk to talk, which is rare in today’s world! I love how I’m given the freedom to be my own boss and I certainly wouldn’t think twice about recommending You Do Better to any freelancers that are thinking of taking the plunge.

A first-tier associate states:
“Working with Ruby at You Do Better has been an amazing experience and I am truly grateful for the opportunity to both further my skills and focus on the areas I enjoy the most. Ruby is an incredibly encouraging boss and, more than that, mentor who truly believes in what she does and in her associates – something clear to all who have worked with and alongside her. It is more a pleasure than a job with You Do Better and I would recommend a conversation with Ruby to any freelancers who are currently on the fence.”
