We believe in…
Disruption and authenticity
Every single day, there’s a chance to innovate something new, whether that’s taking a disruptive approach to storytelling, re-imagining the transmission of authenticity, or learning a new skill. At The Tempest, we’re always hungry for the opportunity to tackle the next big thing, with the authentic creativity and skills to craft the most powerful work we believe in. With every step, we celebrate the process.
Owning the future
We live in a world where media quite literally sets the agenda – for better or for worse. That very same industry is constantly evolving, and we’re all here at The Tempest because, in so many ways, we are passionate about that change. We firmly believe that each one of us is part of the future: a movement so many have already gotten behind. In keeping with that understanding, we have real conversations about where we are and where we want to be, strategically experiment, and uplift those around us.
Community comes first
At The Tempest, we make magic. It’s not about just creating – it’s about creating with a purpose, a vision – all for our community that calls us home. We dream it, then do it – together – working across different teams, timezones, and skills. Our work is never done until it truly comes to life, reinventing what the world believes is possible. Each iteration, article, project is done with empathy and a recognition that the end goal is bigger than any one person. It’s easy to log in and get the job done, but harder to do it when you’re here to shift the status quo.
A more honest world
We reflect the very audience we were founded around: women who never felt like they fit in, reject the status quo, and believe in the power of storytelling to cross every border. These values are also deeply embedded in our stories, journalism, and our team. We hire people who believe that media can quite literally change the world, people who bring their own perspectives, experiences, languages, and cultures. Accessibility for every human is part of our very core, and we reject racism and any bigotry among our own employees and in the broader discourse. We believe a seat at the table is critical for everyone, and that in doing so, we bring the future into the present.
Storm of ideas
No matter who’s in the room, our work stays true to the ideas we innovate, iterate, and implement. At the very core, we believe that every idea – no matter where it falls – comes with consequences. Our ultimate accomplishments lay in the ideas that serve as the catalysts for women of every background to see, feel, and truly claim their voice – and power.
Acceptance and family
We are more than a simple team of innovators and creators. We are a community of generous, strong, and ambitious women, driven by a spirit of service and selflessness. Our every initiative, conversation, and decision is cut from the same cloth – unapologetic in our disruption but focused on empathy and multidimensionality.
