Start Your Career: Entry-Level Media Planning & Buying Role!

Are you ready to join the next generation of industry leaders? Indeed, Goodstuff is opening its doors to ambitious individuals for our “Goodstarter” scheme. We are a premier agency specializing in Media Planning & Buying, and we are looking for future Executives to join our team in London (SE1 0SU). This full-time, hybrid role offers a starting salary of £26,000 per year and is designed for those who prioritize strategy, invention, and creativity. Specifically, we want curious minds who are eager to learn the ropes of the media world and contribute to campaigns that genuinely delight clients.

The Role: What It’s Really Like

At Goodstuff, “Executive” isn’t just a corporate title; it’s where careers are built. Depending on your team, you will be right in the thick of the action. For instance, your daily life will involve:

• Campaign Delivery: You will help deliver standout media plans and ensure campaigns run smoothly from start to finish.

• Relationship Building: You will build impactful and trusting relationships with fellow Goodstuffers, clients, and media owners.

• Operational Excellence: You will take on the essential admin and “to-do” lists that keep the agency moving efficiently.

• Creative Collaboration: You will contribute to the inventive thinking that sets our agency apart from the competition.

What We Are Looking For

We will teach you the day-to-day processes, so previous experience is unnecessary. Instead, we value attitude, ability, and potential. Ideally, you bring:

• A Passion for Media: You want to understand how the industry works and where it is headed.

• A Head for Numbers: You possess a curiosity about data—not just what the numbers say, but what they actually mean.

• Brand Enthusiasm: You have a genuine interest in helping brands grow and thrive.

• Critical Thinking: We value people who use AI to think smarter, using it as a tool for critical thinking rather than a shortcut.

• An Independent Voice: We want people who question, have opinions, and aren’t afraid to share them.

Please note: We are NOT looking for a specific degree or a “perfect” CV. We want to see the real you—so avoid copy-pasting answers from AI.

The Application Process

Our three-stage process ensures we find the right fit for both you and the agency:

1. Application: Answer three questions that showcase your voice and your human perspective.

2. First Round Interview: A 30-minute, remote competency-based conversation starting 10th June.

3. Assessment Day: A fun, interactive day at our London Bankside offices on either 1st July or 8th July.

Perks & Key Details

• Start Date: September 2026 (though we are flexible if you need to start sooner or later).

• Compensation: £26,000 per annum plus a competitive benefits package.

• Culture: A “smart casual” environment where diversity is our strength.

• Inclusion: Our “Do the Right Thing” policy ensures we recruit based on merit and provide an environment where everyone belongs.

Diversity & Inclusion Statistics

At Goodstuff, we believe in transparency regarding the industry we are helping to shape. To provide context on the UK marketing and media landscape, recent industry data (such as the IPA Census) indicates that approximately 15.3% of employees in UK advertising agencies are from Black, Asian, or Minority Ethnic backgrounds. Furthermore, women currently make up about 37.5% of C-suite or executive-level roles within the industry. We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment that exceeds these benchmarks by prioritizing potential and ability over traditional backgrounds.
