At the7stars, careers are built in unconventional ways. The organisation creates, plans, and buys advertising campaigns on behalf of its clients, and can plan media across and channel including TV, Radio, Out of Home media, and all digital space.

The organisation has purposely built a culture that puts people before process and that celebrates individuality and demands personal responsibility. It is a firm believer in ‘the team is the purpose’ and its business strategy reflects this as it doesn’t just recruit the best people to deliver a great service and grow the business, but rather it strives to deliver a great service and grow the business so that it can recruit the best team.

Long term, individual’s career potential is unlimited. the7stars doesn’t believe in prescribing career paths but allowing employees to develop that themselves. It provides the culture, the support, and the rewards but the rest is up to the individual.

It launched its ‘SHINE’ framework to be used in one-to-one sessions between employees and their managers. SHINE encourages everyone to think about self-development, both professionally and personally, by having the right support framework in place from their first day in the organisation. SHINE is a flexible approach to suit the different needs of different people and managers while outlining how it fits with our values. the7stars don’t do formal appraisals once a year, instead it believes that regular feedback and collaborative goal-setting works better than just looking bit of paper once a year.

Quote from the top...
When I set up the business in 2005 I wanted to create not just a successful agency, but a community where people were proud to work. I wanted the agency to be a business that developed people's careers in sometimes surprising ways, and one where teamwork was valued ahead of everything. Our reputation as a great employer is the single thing that I am most proud of over our 19-year history.

Jenny Biggam, Founder and CEO
