About Howden Research
Howden Research is an independent, student-led research firm producing original analysis across finance, economics, and STEM.
We are looking for a Content & Marketing Advisor
We are looking for a Content & Marketing Advisor to help shape how Howden communicates its research, develops its brand, and reaches a wider audience. This is a strategic role rather than a conventional social media position.
The Role

Responsibilities may include:
- Advising on content strategy
- Reviewing how research is presented across different channels
- Developing ideas for campaigns and content series
- Advising on LinkedIn and digital content
- Identifying opportunities to increase audience engagement
- Helping translate complex research into accessible content
- Advising on brand positioning and communications
- Analysing content performance and recommending improvements
- Supporting the Marketing & Outreach Analyst
- Developing ideas for collaborations and external campaigns
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.
