Strive to learn and develop ✍️
As an organic grown organization many people join Leadstar Media with no or little experience, or with experience that might not be transferable to how we work. Therefore learning and development becomes even more important at Leadstar Media compared to other organizations. We love nerds, because as a nerd you dig deep into your learning, so if you feel like a nerd you are more than welcome to apply for a job.

We care 💪🏼
A Leadstar is someone who shows great care and consideration for their work and reaching success, as well as the team and the people around them. We work with the philosophy that Leadstars should feel an ownership over their work, and become experts with a deep knowledge of their product and field. To care about and be proud of your work is something we aim for every Leadstar to feel.
An organic grown organization
As mentioned above, we recruit based on the potential we see in you, not based on your current hard skills. We are an organic grown organization, most of the Leadstars have joined Leadstar Media with no experience or with experience that is not hundred percent translatable to how we work. We believe it’s unique to be such a successful company as we are, based on how we have recruited 🌟
