Job description

Social network you want to login/join with:

This is a role for someone ready to take ownership, grow, and make an impact.

You’ll join a collaborative and truly independent agency environment, managing campaigns across a mix of sectors including finance, retail, food and drink, and leisure. The work is varied and creative - think Meta, TikTok, influencers, full-funnel strategy, and constant testing - and the team is trusted by clients to push boundaries and explore what works.

We’re ideally looking for an established manager or someone ready for their first official step into management - perhaps from a senior exec role - who can lead confidently on delivery while nurturing and developing junior talent. You’ll be mentoring a smart Exec who’s eager to learn, so people leadership will be a key part of your day-to-day.

At the7stars, freedom is more than a value – it’s how the business runs. From media planning and team structures to toolkits and time off, the agency is built to empower people to work smarter and shape their own careers. There’s room to grow, stretch, and do things differently here – and the team structure gives you visibility and input far beyond the channel you’re hired into.

If you want to lead smart, cross-platform campaigns in an environment where independent thinking is encouraged and your voice carries, we might just be for you.

Core Responsibilities

Client Engagement:

• Serve as the primary point of contact for a portfolio of clients, addressing their needs promptly and effectively, while also mentoring junior team members.
• Independently manage regular tasks and respond to ad-hoc client requests, exceeding expectations and leveraging team expertise when needed.
• Confidently present campaign results, recommendations, and strategies to clients, showcasing deep industry understanding and competitive insights.
• Proactively update clients on new product features, industry trends, and recommended actions to stay ahead of the curve.
• Develop comprehensive media plans tailored to client objectives, platforms, audiences, and budgets, with a keen eye for accuracy and effectiveness.
• Utilise advanced paid social features, tools, and 3rd party partners to maximise campaign impact and ROI.
• Collaborate with the wider team to craft effective campaign strategies and continuously refine tactics.
• Monitor campaign performance, optimise delivery against targets, and generate accurate reports to track progress and inform decision-making.
• Identify and capitalise on new opportunities, such as Betas or platform updates, to drive campaign success.
• Design and execute A/B tests with clear objectives, robust measurement, and systematic documentation of results.

Reporting and Analytics:

• Leverage the agency’s advanced reporting solutions to develop customised, user-friendly reports aligned with client needs and agency standards.
• Demonstrate a holistic understanding of the paid social landscape within the broader client strategy, selecting relevant KPIs and measurement solutions to drive business outcomes.

Innovation and Collaboration:

• Cultivate strong relationships with media partners, staying updated on industry trends and emerging opportunities for your clients.
• Support and collaborate with your team members, helping manage workload and delegating tasks as needed.
• Stay informed about award-winning campaigns, industry betas, and third-party technologies to drive innovation and strategic growth.
• Utilise audience and insights tools effectively to enhance campaign performance and client satisfaction.

About the7stars

the7stars is unlike any other agency. The distinction started the day we launched in 2005 when we named ourselves after a pub, but more importantly when we made a promise that we were going to do things differently.

And this commitment has stuck with us. It guides how we work, how we think and how we treat one another and can be expressed in a single word.

Freedom.

Our Freedom philosophy lives across our entire business from people, product and planning. It means we plan & buy media how we want, develop careers how we want, take holiday when we need it, invent tools when we need them, give people a platform to speak up, question and express themselves freely – but more importantly it has allowed us to create an amazing place to work.

We have a unique working environment and open structure which encourages personal development through client contact, teamwork, training, exposure to all media and internal teams – and a “sky’s the limit” approach to your growth within the agency.

In 2023 we have achieved our 11th year in a row as a Sunday Times Top 100 company to work for and have been awarded Campaign’s number one media agency to work for accolade for the second year running.

the7stars is more than 250 passionate media people that are able to focus purely on creating great work for our clients. Clients such as Bensons, Cunard, Nintendo, Tapi Carpets and Papa Johns. UK focused, we also operate within an agile global network of like-minded friends, extending our client portfolio into Europe and the US.

If thinking freely and with integrity is your bag, then the7stars is an agency you should meet.

Equal opportunities

the7stars is committed to creating a diverse environment, where employees feel empowered to share different ideas, perspectives and experiences in a collaborative and creative work environment. Equality and inclusion are at the heart of our culture. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race (which includes colour, nationality and ethnic or national origins), religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation.
