About The Story Mob
What is The Story Mob?
The Story Mob is the world's leading international communications consultancy focused on gaming culture, esports, and digital entertainment. Founded in 2018 (now in its 7th year of business per current job descriptions), The Story Mob works with brands, teams, publishers, athletes, and event organisers in the gaming space — helping them shape meaningful communications and engage in authentic conversations with gaming fans.
Where will I work?
The Story Mob operates from three offices across three countries — Amsterdam, London (225 Shoreditch House, E1 6PN), and Los Angeles (1351 3rd Street Promenade, Ste 300, Santa Monica 90401, CA) — with team members spread across "even more time zones." Per current JDs: "You want to spend winters in South East Asia? We love that. As long as you meet your deadlines and do excellent work, we want you to be fulfilled in work and in life." This is a genuine digital-nomad culture.
What is The Story Mob team like?
The team is what staff call "Mobsters" — a hungry, ambitious group where everyone wears multiple hats and the ceiling for growth is "sky-high." Culture is open-minded, fast, and flexible. Great ideas are celebrated, and team members are encouraged to execute them both independently and collaboratively while learning new skills. The agency was founded by senior communications professionals with hands-on experience in the largest competitive gaming communities, and continues to invest in mentorship and career development for new hires. Current open roles include Account Lead UK (London/EU-based) and a Global Open Application.
Work-Life Balance
The Story Mob offers an opt-in 4-day work week (32 hours) at 100% pay per the schedule_type_description. The current Account Lead UK job description verbatim lists "4-day workweek opt-in" alongside "Unlimited PTO — on top of the statutory days — for a sane and balanced approach to work and life." The hybrid working model has "majority of the time spent remotely," with offices available in Amsterdam, London, and LA for those who prefer them. Weekly check-ins, quarterly KPIs, and annual reviews are supported by a tailored personal development plan aimed at staff growth and ambitions.
