Our work has garnered acclaim from the likes of IPA, WARC, Effie, Media Week, Thinkbox, Campaign Magazine, The Drum, AdWeek, and more. We have continued to grow our agency every single year, delivered show-stopping work for our clients, and have consistently delivered exceptional media value.

Responsibilities

We are looking for a talented Graduate Analyst to join our Analytics team at the7stars, the UK’s largest independent media agency. From day one, the successful candidate will experience real variety, meaningful responsibility and exposure to senior clients, working alongside analysts whose work helps shape how some of the country’s most ambitious brands invest and grow.

Day to day, you will help build the evidence base that underpins client decision‑making, providing rigorous analysis to understand what drives marketing performance and, crucially, where future growth will come from. This includes working with econometrics, structured experimentation and attribution modelling to evaluate effectiveness and inform change. As a self‑starting and transparent agency, we pride ourselves on challenging assumptions and championing growth through evidence rather than opinion. The Analytics team at the7stars is award‑winning and recognised for industry‑leading standards in effectiveness, having been one of the first agencies to receive the IPA’s Effectiveness Accreditation.

Qualifications

We’re looking for curious, motivated self‑starters with an appetite to learn. While no prior agency or analytics experience is required, we are interested in candidates who demonstrate the following skills and characteristics:

• Relentless intellectual curiosity and a desire to understand why marketing works, not just what happened.
• A proactive mindset, with the confidence to identify problems, explore possible solutions and ask the right questions.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to communicate data and insights clearly through structured analysis and visualisation (these will be assessed at interview).
• A solutions‑first approach, comfortable working in a fast‑paced, collaborative agency environment with direct client interaction.
• The ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities whilst maintaining high analytical standards.
• Clear, confident communication skills and an appetite for working closely with colleagues and clients.

The successful candidate is likely to demonstrate some of the following:

• An undergraduate degree in Economics, Business, Marketing or a STEM subject (though this is not a prerequisite).
• Exposure to quantitative or multifactor analysis, with or without econometric or other statistical techniques.
• Good working knowledge of Microsoft Excel.
• An interest in coding, scripting or automation, and how tools and technology can improve analytical efficiency.

What we provide

From day one, you’ll be treated as a full employee with benefits including:

• £30,000 salary
• 6-month probation/onboarding
• Continuous training
• Benefits package including:
• Uncounted holiday
• Gym membership
• Free breakfast
• Health insurance

Our working pattern is Monday-Thursday in our Covent Garden offices, followed by hybrid working on Friday.
