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.
