About this role
THE7STARS GRADUATE PROGRAMME
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.
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 year-on-year.

• Reporting: Monitoring competitors, analysing audiences, and evaluating campaigns
• Media Owner Relationships: Building partnerships and staying up to date with market developments
