Who We Are  

At Storm Ideas, we supercharge the digital presence of some of the biggest names in US TV and entertainment. Since 2008, our international team has delivered bold, forward-thinking solutions for globally recognised clients. 

Whether we're building innovative products, producing high-impact social content, or designing smarter ways for our partners to work—we’re right at the cutting edge of creativity, technology, and automation.

Embracing Future-Facing Technology 

Emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence present exciting opportunities for us and our clients. As the world adapts, we’re committed to safely exploring the potential advantages of AI, integrating it thoughtfully into our work where possible, and one day guiding our clients through new possibilities when they’re open and ready for them. By tapping into our creativity, expertise, and collaboration, we aim to embrace its potential together. Our vision relies on people who are curious about this technology and excited to take on this challenge! 

What You’ll Make Happen 

  • Own the day-to-day client calendar: keep priorities visible, up-to-date, and understood across teams. 
  • Make clear calls on shifting priorities or kick off communication where discussions need to be had as well as communicate changes and impact to clients and internal leads. 
  • Support the Account Manager on translating strategy into action. 
  • Track upcoming tasks and key client distribution points and surface blockers early. 
  • Manage asset intake: download, file, and prep materials so production can start fast. 
  • Keep internal tools populated with clean client data and flag discrepancies to teams and clients. 
  • Manage the client Airtable by making updates, maintaining views, and holding the teams accountable to keep status fields truthful. 
  • Help evolve lightweight processes/automations as account scales or client needs change. 
  • Bring a process mindset — suggest improvements that boost speed, clarity, or quality. 
  • Drive progress on ad-hoc/multi-team projects; chase actions and close loops. 
  • Contribute to continual improvement, spotting workflow opportunities and raising the bar. 


And be trained on and ready to support on the following if needed:

  • Support where needed on screening episodes/films to find perfect social moments; capture precise timecodes for editors.

  • Posting to social media platforms.
