The Agency
Background
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, team work, training, exposure to all media and internal teams – and a “sky’s the limit” approach to your growth within the agency.
In 2024 we have achieved our 12th year in a row as a Sunday Times Top 100 company to work for and in 2023 were awarded Campaign’s number one media agency to work for accolade for the second year running.
The7stars is c300 passionate media people that are able to focus purely on creating great work for our clients. Clients such as Warner Music, Entain, Suzuki, Gousto, Freemans and The People’s Postcode Lottery. 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
