Graduate Marketing Analyst

About the7stars

the7stars started life in 2005, with just three employees, and a strong belief that advertisers deserve better. A more honest way of trading, full accountability and the best people servicing clients.

We set out to create the best media agency in the UK, building long term client relationships, and an unrivalled culture that attracts only  the best talent.

Now the UK’s most successful independent media agency, billing £440m annually and with a team of 300 and counting, we are growing faster than ever. Our efforts have not gone unnoticed - we have won both Campaign and Media Week’s Agency of the year three times in the last six years, as well as being named the Winner of Campaign’s Best Places to Work 2022 along with being a Sunday Times Best Company to work for, for the last ten years. A testament to our long-term commitment to being a great employer. 

We have built the agency based on a clear set of values; first class client servicing, transparent trading and putting people above process. Working across a variety of sectors, from music to retail, we continue to win new business each year – offering advertisers a better solution.

What is a media agency?

With an industry not well known to the outside world, you might just be wondering what a media agency does? We plan advertising to reach the right people in the right place at the right time… all​ for the right price. We’re not in the business of creating the ads as this is a creative agency’s responsibility.  We buy advertising space at the best price for our clients, making sure that audiences are exposed to our brands, and helping to deliver business results.

Day to day you would be involved in solving client's marketing effectiveness questions, employing a mixture of different tools including econometrics, structured experiments and attribution modelling.

The team are award winning in our own right, with WARC Effectiveness, Media Week and MRG Awards acquired in recent years. We support clients by providing a range of measurement and forecasting solutions to understand and predict every aspect of customer behaviour. We engage with clients as both practitioners and strategic advisers, building a partnership for evidence based growth through marketing.
