About the job
the7stars is the UK’s largest independent media agency, offering the best people, the best service and the most creative media campaigns. Our clients include Admiral, The Financial Times, Gousto, Iceland and The Postcode Lottery.
Since our inception in 2005, we set out on a mission – to inspire the exceptional and defeat the bad and the boring. By championing transparency, our goal was to deliver award-winning work for clients across all sectors, whilst fostering a truly vibrant and inclusive culture that welcomes the best industry talent from all walks of life.
20 years on, we have achieved all of this and more. We have graced The Sunday Times Best Companies to Work list for thirteen consecutive years, whilst also being crowned Campaign’s Best Place to Work on three occasions. Our work has garnered acclaim from the likes of IPA, WARC, Effie, Media Week, Thinkbox, Campaign Magazine, The Drum, AdWeek, and more. We have continued to grow our agency every single year, delivered show-stopping work for our clients, and have consistently delivered exceptional media value.
The Role
We are looking for a talented Graduate Analyst to join our Analytics team at the7stars, the UK’s largest independent media agency. From day one, the successful candidate will experience real variety, meaningful responsibility and exposure to senior clients, working alongside analysts whose work helps shape how some of the country’s most ambitious brands invest and grow.
Day to day, you will help build the evidence base that underpins client decision-making, providing rigorous analysis to understand what drives marketing performance and, crucially, where future growth will come from. This includes working with econometrics, structured experimentation and attribution modelling to evaluate effectiveness and inform change. As a self-starting and transparent agency, we pride ourselves on challenging assumptions and championing growth through evidence rather than opinion. The Analytics team at the7stars is award-winning and recognised for industry-leading standards in effectiveness, having been one of the first agencies to receive the IPA’s Effectiveness Accreditation.
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.
