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.

The Role
As a Paid Media Manager, you’ll be responsible for planning, managing, and optimising Paid Media campaigns across a range of digital channels. This is far more than a campaign activation role - you’ll play a key part in shaping client strategy, influencing business growth, and driving commercial success across a portfolio of leading eCommerce brands.
The role will primarily focus on Paid Search while offering opportunities to develop your experience across Paid Social and the wider Paid Media landscape.
Day-to-Day Responsibilities
- Own the strategy, execution, and optimisation of high-performing Paid Media campaigns across a portfolio of leading eCommerce brands.
- Go beyond campaign management by identifying new commercial opportunities, influencing growth strategies, and helping shape long-term business success.
- Build strong relationships with external stakeholders, acting as a trusted partner and providing strategic recommendations that drive measurable business outcomes.
- Play an active role in the evolution of the Paid Media department by contributing new ideas, refining processes, and helping drive innovation across the business.
- Stay ahead of industry trends, platform developments, and emerging technologies, bringing fresh thinking and new opportunities to both clients and the wider team.
