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.

This is a role for someone who can develop the strategy and then roll their sleeves up and deliver it. You’ll work across B2B/channel marketing, product launches, brand development, social media, content and video, creating campaigns that engage electrical wholesalers, contractors and installers and deliver measurable commercial results.
The ideal person will have strong B2B marketing experience, ideally within a manufacturing, trade, distribution, electrical, construction or building products environment. You’ll need to be equally comfortable developing a campaign strategy and then delivering it, creating content and creative assets, working with video and using analytics to understand what is working.
