What We're Researching
We are running a paid study on how advertising agencies handle media planning and allocate budgets across multiple channels. This research helps us understand the tools and strategies used to optimize client campaign performance. Your insights will inform how media buying workflows can be improved for better overall efficiency.
How It Works
You will join a remote video interview to walk us through your typical media planning process. We will ask you to describe how you evaluate different advertising channels and make budget allocation decisions for your campaigns. You may be asked to screen-share some of the software or dashboards you use for tracking media buys. The conversation will flow organically as we dive deep into your day-to-day campaign management strategies.
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.
