  Old Grammar School Media

  Mar 2009 - Jul 2010

  Co-Founder

  At 17 years old with very little knowledge about "business" I jumped in the deep end and found a niche that I still believe had/has huge potential but not just as a business but also as social enterprise. Me and my business partner pitched for a staggering £19 000 off a government scheme to improve youth projects in the surrounding area of Cornwall and we were awarded £25 000. Old Grammar School Media was a media studio dedicated to giving young people access to a music recording studio, professional photography studio and art & design space, at a price that is affordable, accessible and often gave young people the chance to get their hands on fantastic professional equipment for free. This gave the young people to try out their desired ambition and gave them the opportunity to decide "is this for me?". The fantastic thing about this project was the sense of community that was built around it. My co-founder and I pitched for and won £25,000 in grant funding from the Cornwall Youth Opportunities Fund - the largest sum ever awarded by the fund to a single project. With this money we built a recording, photography and art studio in the old grammar school building in Redruth, Cornwall. Many musicians, photographers and designers used the space during our first year. Influential business people from the area offered their support and we had visits from MP's and newspapers. Unfortunately as the recession struck - our funding dried up, and we found ourselves unable to pay our rent. Show less

  Full Story Marketing

  Dec 2016 - now

  Director

  After working with brands like Argos, Riverford and other established organisations to achieve more online, I decided to start a new business, Full Story Marketing, for Businesses that understand a more integrated approach to their marketing is going to reap better results. Everything we do really focusses around your customers/users, what they look like, where they "hang out", what experiences they prefer from brands. We know this works. There's one thing we're not and that's boring - our first couple of months trading has seen many a late nights editing films, compiling designs, segmenting audiences, all to make sure you get in front of your customers. If you've got a project you want to us to cast our marketing eyes over or you're interested in stepping your organisation into the marketing world, drop me an email at ben.corbally@fullstory.marketing.
