Bring our island hotels to life through inspired, commercially focused marketing

Architecturally distinctive and quintessentially British, every hotel enjoys an extraordinary location from Scotland to the Channel Islands, with views spanning countryside, beaches and woodland.

You'll lead and deliver activity across campaigns, digital, social media, CRM, PR, partnerships and local destination marketing, using insight and performance data to grow revenue and guest engagement across every part of the hotel experience.

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.
