One umbrella.
One ecosystem.
Hailstorm began in 2018 as a woman-owned, remote-first business affairs consultancy with one mission: modernize advertising business affairs. Today The Hailstorm Group is a family of four companies covering services, technology, education and community.
Each one complements and supports the others. Services inform the technology, the technology frees up expertise, education grows the talent pool, and the Summit brings the whole industry together. Together, they increase the value of the whole.
