Fifth Ring is a modern global B2B marketing agency that builds long and beneficial relationships for and with its clients. Active in a limited number of markets in which we have deep insight, as catalysts of change, we blend the best of art and science to enable our clients to identify and own their chosen market spaces.

Crisis & Emergency Response

  • Provide crisis communications counsel and reactive PR support, working with the PR & Crisis Communications Manager, who leads the crisis offer and coordinates the ER rota.

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.
