Our Services
We offer a wide range of services to support your cultural heritage project. By combining our extensive professional experience within the sector with our knowledge of contemporary practice, we are able to provide innovative consultancy solutions.
Producing informative, engaging and exciting content is what we do best. Whether it be written, audio-visual, digital, or performance, you can trust us to deliver content that connects.
Our content is underpinned by research, ensuring that it offers new perspectives and insights into the past. We seek to draw comparisons to help contemporary audiences engage, to provoke debate and challenge assumptions.
At Our Stories, we offer a comprehensive range of quantitative and qualitative research methods that will help you understand and improve your business.
We have considerable experience in developing clear, easy to follow strategies for business, audience development and digital.
We are able to tailor-make a package to best suit your needs. You will gain novel insights and a fresh perspective that will help you shape your projects in the most effective and inspiring ways.
We understand audiences and have extensive experience in developing outreach projects that people want to take part in. Our work involves co-curation, collaborative events programming and facilitating workshops to inform museum strategy, creating a sense of ownership in the locality. We work with you to understand the aspirations of your organisation and develop a specific strategy to achieve your aims.
We have a wider network of exhibition designers and builders as well as film, software and gaming partners who we collaborate with on larger projects. This means that we are able to manage project development from inception to opening and you can trust us to deliver on your vision. It also means we are able to create exciting digital products to compliment your project.
We will provide you with the tools you need to grow your audience. Audiences are the lifeblood of all heritage organisations and we are experienced in identifying, building and nurturing the relationships necessary to secure a diverse and sustainable audience.
We undertake market research and audience-evaluation, and develop frameworks for audience development based on key research and segmentation procedures.
Our company was founded out of a desire to bridge the gap between cutting-edge academic research and the realities of museum practice. Everything we do is grounded in contemporary research and we are skilled in translating this into exciting and engaging projects and content.
We can run training workshops for your staff and volunteers to provide them with the skills necessary for archival research. We have managed multiple projects which enable volunteers to carry out their own research to feed into co-curated exhibitions.
Our consultants have a background in collections management, having worked in the collections departments of such national organisations such as the National Football Museum and the National Trust. We are experienced in managing projects of retrospective documentation, digitisation and rationalisation in line with the requirements of SPECTRUM, as well as developing plans for conservation and collections care.
We offer solutions to issues of accessibility, developing digital platforms to share more of your collection with diverse audiences, such as online exhibitions and blogs, as well as designing and installing open-storage possibilities.
