First oF all - we are youth specialists! our agency is run primarily by 16-24 year olds and our md is 21. he set up the business 5 years ago at just 16 years old! we have a nintendo wii in the oFFice, enjoy the odd picnic in our indoor garden and we love a good night on the town with staFF our own age!

We’ll behonest...

marketing and

research agency!

Back to business... As well as our creative team and researchers, we have our own street team - a dynamic bunch of chaps and chapesses who are the public face of Force-7. To top it all off, we also have loads of industry contacts and enjoy a mixed portfolio of work.

So, what else? We’re a growing and expanding agency and work in an exciting

and unusual environment. You’ll get to experience everything, at all levels of production and you

will see first hand how things work, how clients respond and

how pitches are won.

The only way to sum it up is the creative thinking, challenges and opportunities of a big London agency; but with the diversity, teamwork and ownership of a smaller organic business.

In light of the current economic climate, we’ve recognised a need to throw a lifeline to graduates who are committed to

creating the best campaigns of 2011/2012, and want to get a step ahead by proving their worth in agencies across the UK.

It’s like the chicken and the egg:

Well that’s where we come in. We’re offering 4 graduates the opportunity of a 10-week

unpaid placement at Force-7 from 4th July until 9th September 2011 – it really will be the experience of a lifetime!

You need

experience to get an

opportunity but you need an

opportunity to get the

experience

Have you spent the last 3+ years learning about sound waves? Training to amputate

a cat’s leg? Mastering the ability to sway in the wind like a tree?

Whatever you’ve done, we want you!

If you think you have something different to ‘bring to the table’ - whether it be

copious amounts of energy, the life skills of a student, buckets of inspiration or an

amazing array of cupcake recipes, then get applying. We’re after someone special; a diamond in the rough, the cream of the

crop, and any other clichés you can think of.

I previously worked in a 60-strong agency working for huge clients, such as Monster and McDonalds. Although that looks great on my CV, I didn’t get as much all round experience as I would have liked – I was the bottom of the chain illustrating parts of an overall design, or making amends to someone else’s work. At Force-7, I get to do everything. Being part of a small team enabled me to experience the full design process from start to finish, from initial concepts through to print and production. I learnt so much more and have really developed as a designer during my time here.

I joined Force-7 last summer for a placement as a Junior Designer whilst at university. I was able to work on a variety of projects, from branding to layouts, and brainstorming to client meetings. Being at Force-7 and experiencing the fast-paced nature of agency life has definitely helped me manage my time more effectively back at university and will stand me in good stead for when I graduate. My portfolio really developed during my summer, and I believe it is the work I did here that has secured my placement at Bolser for my year in industry in September, after I finish my role as a Production Assistant at Force-7 over the summer.

I came to Force-7 two years ago as a freelance designer for one day to help on a pitch… now I am the Creative Manager! Force-7 is the sort of place where you can shape your own role and create your own opportunities. I have much more responsibility here than I probably should have at my age, but I love it because the stuff we get to work on and the freedom we have to experiment are incredible – it’s not your average agency! I even managed to fit seven months travelling in during my time here and was lucky enough to get invited back again afterwards! Force-7 really is a unique place to work… if you have potential and want to create a path for yourself, this is the place to do it! I never saw myself as a manager, but being here highlighted my skills and I’m now set up to progress up the career ladder in even bigger agencies in the future.

I came to Force-7 over a year ago to complete a one-day-a-week, 10-week work placement as part of my college course, and I have been here ever since! As I am still at college, it was great to have the flexibility of paid work one day a week as it fit in perfectly around my studies. Since becoming an employee, my role has developed and I now work closely with Wendy and the street team, recruiting young people to our youth network, Factory 47. It’s a really fun job, spending most of my time on campus, in clubs or on Facebook, finding new recruits and promoting our services to young people – which is also great training for me in a future sales and marketing role.
