Who are we?

Storm is a forward-thinking, fast-paced and growing full-service agency. We are ranked by the Drum as the No. 1 agency in Essex and East Anglia. We are a full-on, switched on, always on kind-of-agency. You’ve got to be sharp, think on your feet and really know your stuff to make it through the door.

Who are you?

Tenacious. Empathetic. Strategically-minded. Creatively-driven.

You are just as comfortable working on a brief in solitude for a week as you are jumping from project to project with intense collaboration. You can translate any brief into compelling copy, regardless of industry, medium or time limitations.

You take feedback like a champ because you understand, you learn and you want to grow. You’re not afraid to speak up and give your opinion, articulately share your ideas and confidently steer a conversation when needed.

What will you be doing?

Writing first and foremost. You will support the existing content team with both their adhoc and retained delivery, getting to understand the nuance of our vast and diverse B2B and B2C client base. But your skillset will need to be much wider than just producing great narratives. You need to truly understand the clients, their products, services, and their briefs at a granular level, then execute jobs with both the subjective and objective scrutiny needed to produce the best possible work. You’ll work collaboratively, constantly questioning, refining and improving in your relentless pursuit to be the best.

You’ll show initiative, confidence and have conviction in your ideas. Plus the tenacity and know-how to execute them in the right way.
