The Rise at Seven Bucket List Scheme: Real Trips, Real People, Real Experiences
Share
One of the things people ask about most when they're exploring what working at Rise at Seven is actually like is the bucket list scheme.
It's one of those benefits that's hard to explain without examples, so here are the examples.
The Rise at Seven bucket list scheme is designed to help Risers experience something they've always wanted to do. Not a voucher. Not a discount code. An actual, meaningful experience, chosen by the person, supported by Rise.
For some people, that means travel. For others, it might mean a personal goal they've been putting off. But more often than not, it leads somewhere with a passport stamp attached.
Here's a look at where it's taken our team so far:
Katie Compton - Finland
Katie went to Finland and it did not disappoint.
Chasing the northern lights in Lapland, visiting Santa Claus Village (yes, really), taking on a snowmobile tour, and even attempting skiing for good measure. The kind of trip that reminds you there's a whole world outside the laptop screen.
Brandon Egley - Chicago
Brandon headed to Chicago and caught a basketball game while he was there.
A city with serious energy, world-class sport, and more to do than a long weekend can hold. Brandon held his own.
"Getting to see the Chicago Bulls in Chicago was quite literally a bucket list moment for me, A week of basketball, blues, pizza and getting to see them turn the river green for St. Patrick's Day is something that I'll never forget".
Jasmine Allen - Santorini
Jasmine visited Santorini. White buildings, blue water, the kind of light that makes every photo look like it was taken by a professional.
Hard to argue with that as a bucket list destination.
Kate Leach & Alice Buttery - New York
Kate and Alice took on New York together. Two Risers, one city that never gets old.
New York keeps coming up in the Rise at Seven team story, both as a destination for Rise at Seven international travel and as somewhere people genuinely want to visit in their own right. Kate and Alice got both.
Fiorenza is heading to Mykonos and Athens in September 2026, another bucket list trip in the making.
Two of the most iconic destinations in Greece, back to back. Not a bad way to spend a week.
Why the bucket list scheme exists
Rise at Seven employee benefits aren't designed to look good on a job page. They're designed to make a difference to the people who work here.
The bucket list scheme exists because we think careers should give you experiences, not just responsibilities. You spend a lot of time at work. The people you work with matter. The culture matters. And the moments you get to have along the way, those matter too.
It's a benefit that says: we see you as a person, not just a role.
It's also one of the reasons people who join Rise tend to talk about it differently to other agencies they've worked at. It's not that the scheme is the whole story, it's that it represents something bigger about Rise at Seven culture and what the agency actually values. And for people researching Rise at Seven careers, it tends to be the benefit that sticks.
More trips are being added
We're still gathering stories, destinations and photos from across the team. Annie is pulling together a full list of everyone who has been part of the scheme, including names, destinations, years and experiences, which we'll add to this page as we go.
