3075 - Media Executive - GCS

Role Summary and Impact

We are looking for a highly organised and motivated Account Executive to join our Duracell team based in London. You'll help plan and run marketing campaigns for a high-profile client; it is a great opportunity for someone early in their career that wants to learn how campaigns are built, launched and tracked.

The team is responsible for delivering best-in-class planning and implementation of the E&A "Bunny Markets". This role will allow you to develop a baseline of media planning knowledge across a number of channels including TV, digital, social and e-commerce. You'll be part of a close-knit planning team, however have exposure to other internal teams across strategy, biddable and local markets. You will grow into a key client stakeholder and ultimately be responsible for project managing all media plans from creation to activation and analysis. We work with a number of different markets, so this is a great opportunity for someone who is eager to 'get stuck in' and (with the support of your colleagues) start to own your workstreams from the outset.

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.
