the7stars awarded the IPA Effectiveness Accreditation

We are extremely excited to be among the first agencies to be awarded the IPA’s Effectiveness Accreditation. Effectiveness was a founding philosophy for our agency back in 2005, and it continues to be a guiding light today.   

This award reflects a total dedication to driving business outcomes on behalf of our clients. Our trailblazing approach to transparency and media neutrality has maximised effectiveness for our clients over our 16-year history.  

Marketing effectiveness principles are a red thread through our planning cycle from client briefing through to evaluation. Our dynamic culture encourages challenge, learning and agility amongst our colleagues, and fosters a culture of long term partnership with our clients too. Accreditations and kitemarks aside, this is best evidenced by an NPS score of 8.9 and a retention rate of 93% (the7stars Client Satisfaction Survey Feb 2021). 

Our approach to continuous professional development extends beyond a financial commitment to external training per head. Our Strategy and Insight & Analytics teams cascade their expert effectiveness knowledge through every level of the business via bespoke training programs designed, curated and delivered in-house. In 2021, we even extended this to clients to stimulate more outcome orientated briefing and equip marketers to evangelise the business case for marketing at all levels of their organisation.  

At the7stars, we believe delivering great marketing effectiveness comes from collaboration and aim to create a culture of effectiveness among our clients. Our teams work closely with advertisers to build a compelling stock of evidence supporting their marketing investment in the short and long term. We harmoniously collaborate with third-party agencies and in-house teams to maximise business outcomes on their behalf. Our Insight & Analytics team are proudly multi-disciplined and are skilled in synthesising multiple methodologies to form holistic measurement frameworks.  

We are proud of our strong track record of success. In recent years, our marketing effectiveness work has helped develop multiple UK unicorns and we have earned IPA Effectiveness Awards for Suzuki and Wagamama, as well as WARC Effectiveness Prize for Ancestry.
