Stori Cymru

What Stori Cymru does

Stori Cymru is a Wales-based video and digital media production company headquartered in Llanelli, South Wales, founded in 2019 by James Owen. The firm produces brand films, corporate stories, recruitment films, promotional videos, photography, animation, podcast content, drone aerial capture, and live or hybrid event streaming, and operates its own owned-media property, the 'What's Your Stori?' podcast, which has published more than 70 episodes featuring Welsh entrepreneurs and business leaders. Its core differentiator is bilingual (English and Welsh) content production, which positions the firm as a domain-specialized supplier for Welsh-speaking audiences and for Welsh public-sector procurement requirements that mandate Welsh-language output.

The company's underlying technology stack is conventional rather than proprietary: standard video production, photography, animation, podcast production, and drone capture workflows delivered as professional services rather than a unified software platform. There is no application, SDK, API, or AI/ML product surface disclosed; service delivery is craft-based and human-driven. Cyber Essentials certification provides baseline information-security assurance for handling client material.

Commercially, Stori Cymru operates a project-based professional services model with bespoke, non-publicly disclosed pricing quoted per engagement. It serves a mix of enterprise clients (Admiral Group Plc, British Airways, Ticketsolve, Travelport, BBFC), public-sector bodies (Carmarthenshire County Council, Swansea Bay City Deal, Welsh Government, Hywel Dda University Health Board), educational institutions (Swansea University, Gower College Swansea, University of Wales Trinity St David), charities (Urdd Gobaith Cymru, People Speak Up, Street Football Wales), and small businesses across Wales and the UK. Go-to-market is primarily direct engagement with regional and UK organizations, supplemented by client referrals, an owned podcast channel, and organic social media presence on Instagram and LinkedIn. The firm is privately held and founder-controlled, with James Owen as Managing Director, Amy Owen as Operations Director, and Joe Morris as Creative Lead forming the core leadership team.
