"Working with Trina and the Stori team on content to amplify the research excellence at the University of Southampton was great. Hannah brought a fresh perspective and professional flair to the written content.

Stori has a wealth of experience; it was great to be able to tap into that creativity and wisdom. The finished research stories looked great online, and we hope to work with Stori again in the future."

Dr Mike Brown, Senior Corporate Writer and Editor, Brand Communications, Southampton University

"The stories were great! As part of the Research Reputation campaign, and in the lead-up to REF21 outcomes we wanted to showcase the world-changing research that takes place at the University of Leicester. Stori helped to bring our research to life by interviewing academics and creating stories to showcase our research endeavours."

Helen Bevins, research and corporate marketing manager, University of Leicester

"I would recommend Stori, they created a website to house our content and I found them both very understanding and accommodating - I’m very happy with the resulting website!"

Dr Shoba Poduval, Academic GP & NIHR Clinical Lecturer, Institute of Health Informatics, University College London

"Trina knows how to make content work for universities that wish to engage with a variety of different audience groups.

She is brilliant at developing and maintaining relationships with university clients and takes the time to really understand their distinctive identities and missions.

We worked with a wide range of institutions marketing their specialisms to people all over the world through high-quality, cross-platform content on the subjects that matter to students."

Rachel Hall, universities editor, The Guardian

“Trina was brilliant in working to understand our needs and look at how best Stori could help.

Hannah worked quickly to develop three fantastic case studies, and I know the training she provided for my team will prove very valuable to us moving forward.”

Andrew Howells, Assistant Director, External Affairs, Universities UK International (UUKi)

“We really enjoyed the session, so a big thanks to you and Hannah. We all left feeling really enthusiastic.

A lot of it confirmed stuff we already knew but aren’t putting in practice (so left us very motivated to do so), but equally there were definitely some big learnings. It’s given us a lot to work with which is great. We really appreciated hearing advice/feedback from a journalist who is producing stories every week, it just means we’re getting the most up to date info from someone at the heart of the media.

Hannah delivered the session brilliantly, she was honest, clear and had really useful insights.

“It was excellent, very high quality and engaging.

Other colleagues have made this comment. People were inspired to take the learning and apply it in different parts of their roles.

I liked the use of their personal experiences and real life examples. Good mix of small and larger group work.

Our experience was very positive and funding permitting, I would work with Stori again.”

Professor Ruth McAreavey FAcSS, Head of Sociology, Newcastle University

“The team at Stori have been both personable and professional to work with in our partnership. Trina and the team truly understand the Education space, and have contributed to our vision with their in-depth knowledge and skillset during the project.

They have been a pleasure to work with both for ourselves and our thought leaders, making the process of generating, collating and delivering our content seamless.”

Ali Bott, Head of Customer Experience, Kinetic

“We worked with Stori to define our audiences, channels and formats. We had a really good response from the workshop which was on how to create an audience framework.

It was a good exercise in understanding the nuances in what we all do, and how by taking each other's objectives into consideration, we can all benefit."

Jack Rivers, brand and content manager, Cardiff Metropolitan University

"We worked with Stori to create a storytelling framework to communicate our new strategy and research pillars through our stories.

Through a series of workshops and interviews, we've been able to channel our vision into themes and stories that will connect with new audiences.

They are great to work with – always seeking to understand what we’re trying to achieve, and coming up with creative solutions."

Paul Woods, director of marketing, Middlesex University

"I wanted to say a massive thank you to you for the success of the media training session.

Rachel was fantastic and the session really helped the academics sharpen their media interview skills and build links with colleagues around the uni. Ed and I are looking forward to following-up with them all individually setting up media interviews for them."

Joe Derrett, Media Manager, LSBU

"Stori was the perfect partner. We have a lot of our own data, and experience using it to tell stories. What Stori brought to the table was a deep understanding of the sector and the people (our target customers) working in it. We were able to create content that drove hyper-relevant, truly engaged leads to our business."

Nick Taylor, director of product marketing, Brandwatch

"Stori did a great job with the articles.

Everything was as expected but I think you exceeded our expectations in terms of how much effort and thought you put into sharing them and I really appreciated your flexibility with changing the timings when our website was pushed back etc. It was a pleasure working with you!"

Vicky Hayhurst, Chief Strategy Officer, Education Cubed

"The Interview Skills training session was great! Really provoked a lot of thought. I hope that we can continue to make progress on how we gather student and academic stories. Thank you for all of your help."

Mhari MacDonald, Head of Marketing, External Relations, University of Dundee

“Stori has gone above and beyond on the content campaigns with Springpod. I have been very impressed throughout.

Stori has a deep understanding of the HE sector. Coupled with their expertise in how to engage with young people and their values, Trina and Stori are always able to ensure that values are central to any work they create.”

Alex Rossi, head of partnerships, Springpod

"The Stori team have been essential to us. Vibrantly dynamic in their approach, together, we have set new thought leadership in the sector that we could have never hoped to achieve alone.

Trina is a powerhouse of passion for the sector and maintaining the quality of the Stori network means she unmistakably delivers the best."

Cailean Carvalho, Executive Director, SFS Media

“We arranged a 'Pitch and Publish' media workshop through Trina and Stori, with journalist Hannah Fearn. Communication throughout was excellent, and the training was exactly what we needed with positive feedback from the team. Following the training, we have changed the way we pitch stories and build relationships with journalists, and expect to see positive results soon.”

Paul Newton, Associate Director of Strategic Communications and Brand, Keele University
