We are a team of strategists, designers, photographers, writers and marketers, helping independent, female-led brands achieve their bigger picture ambitions.
Founded by Lisa May, The Stories Society supports retailers to stay relevant and own their space, while building sustainable, manageable and successful businesses. E-commerce is an ever-changing and powerful industry; with a background of working within both small founder start-ups and multi-channel billion-dollar organisations, we have the know-how and skills to help you take control of your online presence and create a successful and strategic marketing strategy that puts your best foot forward.
We’re here to guide, support, empower and educate independent, product-based retailers to thrive in an ever-evolving market, developing and implementing tailor-made strategies for a 360° approach to your digital marketing. Through bespoke and authentic campaigns, we can help you define your capabilities, reimagine your brands identity, and reach that forward-thinking vision for you and your business. It doesn’t have to be difficult, and you don’t have to do it on your own.
We help female entrepreneurs to elevate and break free from the constraints of a ‘shop small’ business.
Together, we’ll create marketing strategies and implement structure to make scaling your brand online feel easy. We wholeheartedly believe that you can build and market a successful and thriving business without feeling lost, overpowered or treading water.
How much would you value having inspiring, on-brand content created and scheduled for you?
We want to tick all of the boxes for the brands we work with, and we understand how important the internal tasks within a business are. The Stories Society is the result of a mission to solve real-life, day to day business problems — a collection of creative service that incorporate your products, your stories and your values, and build a solid, well-considered foundation for your brand and business.
Whether you need support in creating a nurturing email marketing strategy, help with rustling up interest and engagement around a product launch or, simply, a hands-off approach to your digital marketing, we can help you consistently communicate with your audience, without making you time poor.
EXPLORE SERVICESPractical and considerate support, no matter where you are in your journey.
EthosWe believe in business for the long term, crafting innovative and inspired enterprises that are stable, quality and built to last. Through informed and strategic marketing solutions, we’re helping to bridge the gap between independent brands and the corporate world; we’re committed to creating tailor-made strategies for your business and the people running it.
ApproachWorking with us means allowing someone else into your business; something that you have nurtured since day one. The highs, the lows, the sleepless nights — it is yours. Allowing someone into that space is a big commitment, and we don't take that lightly. We know first-hand the emotional and personal connections involved, and will always work with you to achieve the best results.
StructureThe power to create change sits with us both. Far more success can be achieved through the building of a collective partnership, in which we combine skills and insights. Nobody knows your business like you do, and each partnership is unique to your set objectives, your style as a business owner and carefully moulded to serve each client specifically. You, above anything else, remain at the centre of all we do.
Our community is bursting with inspired, industry leading businesses.
