- Turning client briefs, audience insight and commercial priorities into clear activation plans.
- Owning projects from initial brief and creative development through to delivery and evaluation.
- Creating campaign briefs, timelines, budgets, channel plans and measures of success.
- Working closely with clients, internal teams, agencies, suppliers and external partners to keep projects moving.
- Coordinating events, brand experiences, sponsorships and partnership activity where relevant.
- Ensuring everything delivered is consistent with each client's brand positioning, tone of voice and visual identity.
- Monitoring campaign performance and using data, customer feedback and insight to improve future activity.
- Managing budgets, purchase orders, invoices and supplier relationships.
- Supporting the development of marketing content, collateral and communications.
- Presenting campaign plans, progress and results to senior stakeholders.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
