Company Description

Swingate is an independent, full service creative and marketing agency based in Basingstoke. Established in 1997, we’ve spent nearly three decades helping brands build, create, design, write, and market delivering everything from graphic design, video and web to social media, email marketing and content creation.

We bring energy, talent and authenticity to everything we do, and we’re now investing in growing our sales function. That’s where you come in.

Role Description

You’ll be the first point of contact for prospective clients, identifying the right people, opening conversations, and booking qualified meetings for our Head of Business Development. This is a focused role with a clear measure of success: quality appointments in the diary.

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.
