ABOUT THE7STARS
the7stars are the UK’s largest independent media agency, Campaign’s Best Place to Work and Media Week’s Agency of the Year. We deliver media planning, activation and strategic marketing services to clients such as Entain, Warner Music, Nintendo, Vision Express, Iceland and TSB.
We are unlike any other agency.
That distinction started back in 2005 when we named ourselves after a pub and promised to do things differently. This commitment has stuck with us over 16 years and continues to guide how we work, how we think and how we treat one another. Our philosophy 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, develop 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.
In 2021 we have achieved our 9th 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. If thinking freely and with integrity is your bag, then the7stars is an agency you should meet.
