About Us:

Storm is an award-winning, strategy-first creative agency and production studio based in Essex. We help ambitious brands grow through insight-driven strategy, design, and content – all developed in-house.

Position Overview:

We’re looking for a sharp, reliable, and technically excellent designer to join our creative team. This role isn’t about big-brand conceptual thinking or blue-sky ideas. It’s about someone who knows how to collaborate on direction, solve problems visually, and execute great work quickly and consistently. You’ll be working closely with our Strategy Directors to translate smart thinking into clean, effective design across websites, campaigns, social, and brand.

Requirements:

• A thinker as well as a doer – able to solve design problems, not just follow instructions
  
  
  

Bonus Skills (not essential but useful):

• Experience working with performance-led teams (SEO, content, paid media)
• Understanding of UX/UI principles
  
  
  

Why Join Storm?:
