We are a creative digital agency with in-house Design, Development and Digital Marketing teams. We’re expanding rapidly, and it would be great to find someone who wants to develop while we develop the business and the team. We are a very fun and social team, with plenty of events throughout the year. We believe a good work-life balance is key.
Fanatic has an established digital marketing team, delivering SEO, CRO, paid media, email, content creation, organic social services, and digital marketing consultancy to a diverse set of clients. We work within finance, e-commerce, recruitment, health, events, restaurants, and more at a local, national, and international level.

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.
