24 Stories Podcast

24 Stories was set up by Cork Marketer Stephen Ryan in 2018 as a community to bring marketing professionals, students, graduates & businesses together to learn more and be inspired. In 2021 Stephen launched a podcast that would hear 24 different stories of how people from small to big businesses have built their brands. The podcast now in its second series, was a finalist at the 2022 Irish Podcast of the year awards. The podcast is produced by Elaine Smith from the recording studio at Republic of Work in Cork.

I founded Narration because I believe more businesses could benefit from telling their authentic story. I have been marketing brands in Cork over the last decade, being lucky enough to work as Head of Marketing at Cork’s Red FM for over 2 years and Fota Wildlife Park for over 7 years. As a result of this success, I was brought in to Cork Institute of Technology to lecture students on the areas of Digital Marketing and Marketing, a role I have been fulfilling since 2014.
