Established in 2007, we’re a responsive, hard-working and creative team, based in Cumbria and offering PR and marketing services.
About Us
Making a difference to your business and meeting your PR and marketing needs is really important to us. We believe this is more binding than contracts so we don’t ask for retainers or other commitments. Expect a good discussion on what it is you want us to achieve followed by a costed proposal. Some people want a regular amount of support a month, perhaps to tackle day to day PR and marketing activities; others may want to boost in-house resources or deliver a package linked to a dollop of funding or a marketing grant.
What’s in a name?
So why Ten Stories? We love the interplay between the homonyms, stories and storeys. Both have seemingly different meanings but both refer to fascinating layers – making up either a building or a tale or narrative. We think the most captivating aspect of a business is its story and a curious audience quickly becomes an engaged audience. Who works here? What are they like? What do they make or do? Who else buys from them? Ten Stories uses a layered approach to marketing and PR to build your story and answer these questions.
