Job Description:

the7stars is unlike any other agency. The distinction started in 2005 when we launched, named after a pub, with a promise to do things differently. This commitment guides our work, thinking, and how we treat one another, centered around the concept of Freedom.

Our Freedom philosophy permeates all aspects of our business, from people and product to planning. It means we plan & buy media on our terms, develop careers freely, take holidays when needed, invent tools, and create an environment where everyone can speak up and express themselves. This has helped us become a fantastic place to work.

In 2024, we celebrated 12 years as a Sunday Times Top 100 company to work for and in 2023, we were awarded Campaign’s number one media agency to work for for the second consecutive year.

the7stars comprises approximately 300 passionate media professionals dedicated to creating excellent work for our clients. If you value free thinking and integrity, the7stars is a place for you.
