the7stars Graduate Programme 2026

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.  

WHAT IS A MEDIA AGENCY?
We plan and buy advertising to reach the right audience, in the right place, at the right time, for the right price. Unlike creative agencies, we focus on media strategy, buying, and performance to deliver business results.

THE ROLE
Working at the7stars is fast-paced and varied. Graduate roles span account management, AV, digital, and data/insight teams. Core responsibilities include:

• Reporting: Monitoring competitors, analysing audiences, and evaluating campaigns
• Media Owner Relationships: Building partnerships and staying up to date with market developments
• Administration: Managing bookings, finances, reporting, and client updates
• Industry Knowledge: Keeping informed on media and wider industry trends
• Agency Contribution: Supporting initiatives such as new business, events, PR, and research

START DATE: September 2026
