the7stars is unlike any other agency. The distinction started the day we launched in 2005 when we named ourselves after a pub, but more importantly when we made a promise that we were going to do things differently. And this commitment has stuck with us. It guides how we work, how we think and how we treat one another and can be expressed in a single word.

Freedom.

Our Freedom philosophy lives across our entire business from people, product and planning. It means we plan & buy media how we want, develop careers how we want, take holiday when we need it, invent tools when we need them, give people a platform to speak up, question and express themselves freely – but more importantly it has allowed us to create an amazing place to work.

In 2021 we have achieved our 9th year in a row as a Sunday Times Top 100 company to work for and have been awarded Campaign’s number one media agency to work for accolade for the second year running.

Our Mission

To make healthy living second nature. We exist to help people take control of their health and save our NHS. How? By combining behavioural science with smart technology and incredible people to tackle the global epidemic of chronic lifestyle diseases once and for all.

We are relentlessly re-imagining, redesigning and re-engineering the way we provide our programme to support our mission.

All team members at Second Nature have a part to play in this commitment.

Our Values

At Second Nature we provide great care to our users. As colleagues, we are enthusiastic about being used and trusted by the NHS to help people make long-term healthy lifestyle changes. Our values are the behaviours and traits that we reward and encourage in the company. They’re the code you live by and contract that you sign when you join. By demonstrating our values, we can make Second Nature an even better place to work and receive care.

As a company, there are five core values that make us unique:

???? Focus on impact

We’re a small team with limited resources & huge aspirations. That only works if we do the important things. That means each day is an act of prioritisation and most importantly, getting stuff done.

???? Do the right thing

We’re trying to solve a global problem with no easy solution. We expect everyone that joins us to be on board with that & understand the context of why we do what we do

???? Keep growing

We believe your only barriers are those that you set yourself. We want people who have a thirst for knowledge and self-development. Those who believe that in the future, they can be better.

???? Let data guide you

We are not our customers. It’s important to stay humble and make decisions based on the data and information available to us, not our own biases and preconceptions.

???? Enjoy the ride

Fast-growing companies have a lot of uncertainty and many course corrections. That can be exciting, empowering, but above all, stressful. Recognising this and being comfortable with it is a key part of being successful with us.
