The7stars
the7stars is a media and advertising agency. Their services include media planning and buying, creative strategy and content creation, partnerships, insight and analytics, and strategic services.
the7stars was launched in London in 2005 by Jenny Biggam, Mark Jarvis, and Colin Mills, along with a group of senior management from media agency Carat UK, who founded the organization to compete with independent media agencies. The agency takes its name from "The Seven Stars Pub", located in Central London. The funding for the agency came from private individuals rather than venture capitalists or a media network, making it the first planning agency to launch since Walker Media in 1997.
In September 2007, the7stars joined the IPA (Institute of Practitioners in Advertising), a professional organization for agencies in the UK.
The agency celebrated its 5th birthday in March 2010, surpassing £50 million in billings and growing its team to 38 people. The same year, Nick Maddison joined the7stars as the Head of Business Development, transitioning from his previous role at Gen Outdoor Media Intelligence. Julian Ireland also joined the7stars, coming from Target Media and i-Crossing, to head up strategy and digital at the agency.
the7stars marked its 10th anniversary in March 2015, generating £182 million in billings by the end of the year and growing its team to 130 (a 28% growth). The agency also relocated from its Soho office to Aldwych, having moved from Kinetic into office space previously occupied Clear Channel.
In 2016, the7stars hosted the Go Bigger Fair, an event that brought together multiple media owners and featured various activities.
In 2017, Dom Blacklock was appointed as the Head of Data-Driven Strategy (previously Head of Campaign Management at Dentsu Aegis Network's programmatic platform Amnet), followed by Julia Connaughton as Head of Digital (with 16 years of agency experience, joining from MEC, where she held the position of Digital Partner) and Chris Gilfoy as Strategy Director (previously Director of Strategy at WPP-owned agency SYZYGY) in September.
In January 2018, Simon Harwood, former head of creativity and innovation at PHD UK, joined the7stars as the head of strategy. In the same year, Helen Rose was promoted from head of insight to head of data, insight, and analytics, leading the newly combined 20-strong data and insight team.
