FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

STORM Names Kate Mackz as Newest Brand Ambassador

Running Interview Creator Joins Energy Drink Roster as She Hosts Her First-Ever Run Club in NYC

STORM, the premium wellness energy drink designed for modern, active lifestyles, today announced Kate Mackz, the creator and host behind the viral Running Interview Show and Post Run High podcast, as its newest brand ambassador.

Known for bringing candid conversations to life while running alongside some of the biggest names in sports, entertainment, business and culture, Mackz joins STORM’s growing community of athletes and influencers who embody the brand’s philosophy of Good Energy In – Good Energy Out.

Mackz made her official STORM debut on September 2 in New York City, leading Run with Kate Mackz Fueled By STORM, a three-mile out-and-back run along the West Side Highway beginning and ending at Pier 45. The experience brought runners together for an evening centered around movement, connection and good energy. The event marked Mackz’s first-ever run club, creating a natural extension of the community she has built through her running content and interviews.

“I’m so excited to partner with STORM because so much of what I love about running is the energy it creates, not just physically, but the people you meet, the conversations you have and the community you build,” said Kate. “Getting back into running after having my baby and making my first-ever run club a STORM event in New York feels like such a special way to start this next chapter.”

The partnership comes as Mackz enters a new chapter in her own life. After recently welcoming her first child, the fitness star is returning to the running community with a renewed appreciation for movement, balance and making time for the things that energize her. Her return reflects the broader philosophy behind STORM: energy isn't defined by one workout, one pace or one achievement. It is the energy to keep moving forward, pursue what matters, connect with others and embrace every chapter along the way.

“Kate has built something incredibly authentic around movement,” said Tim Ryder, STORM General Manager. “What started with a simple idea, having real conversations while running, has grown into a community that makes movement feel accessible, social and fun. That is exactly the type of energy we want STORM to represent. Kate is a natural fit for the brand, and we’re excited to have her join us as we continue to build STORM at the intersection of fitness, lifestyle and community.”

Mackz joins a dynamic roster of athletes and cultural influencers who represent STORM's ethos of Energy for Life, including top-ranked tennis player Taylor Fritz, NBA star Quentin Grimes, Grammy-winning artist Maren Morris, leading lifestyle influencer Morgan Riddle, and Grand Slam champion and Olympian Sloane Stephens.

Together, the STORM ambassador lineup reflects the many ways today's energy drink consumers move through the world, from professional competition and creative pursuits to running, fitness and everyday achievement.

STORM is available in four bold, refreshing flavors – Guava Strawberry, Tropical, Valencia Orange, and Harvest Grape. Each 12 oz. can is crafted to deliver great taste alongside functional performance, built for individuals who prioritize wellness, seek intentional ingredients and want products that align with their lifestyle.

STORM is available now at select retailers nationwide.
