Welcome to the
Coastal Media Community
The Coastal Media Community is a free, supportive network for small business owners in Norfolk.
​
Running a small business can be lonely, but it doesn't have to be. When small businesses come together, share knowledge, and support each other, they unlock the strength not just of a big business, but something even greater: a collective force that can shape the future of our local economy.
Norfolk is full of creativity, courage and talent. From coast to countryside, it’s the small businesses that make this such a vibrant and inspiring place to live, work and visit. That’s why building community is at the heart of everything we do. It's in our marketing courses, in our 1:1 work, in our free monthly small business meet-ups, free workshops, and in the conversations we have every day with business owners like you.
​
Our community is where those connections come to life. It’s a space to learn new skills, swap ideas, and find your people; people who understand the highs, the lows, and the drive it takes to build something of your own. Whether you're just starting out or scaling up, you’re not on your own. Together, we can go further, faster... and have a lot more fun doing it.
​
What do we offer?
Free Monthly Meet-Ups + Workshops
​
Each month, we host a relaxed and friendly gathering for small business owners across Norfolk.
​
We start with a free workshop packed with practical marketing tips you can apply straight away. After that, we move into a casual meet-up where you can chat with others, ask questions, and connect over coffee. No pitching, no pressure; just real people sharing what they know and cheering each other on.
Come Along - You're Invited
Our community is open to any small business owner in Norfolk. It doesn't matter whether your business is just you, you’re a Limited Company with a few employees, just starting out, or years into your journey. If you want to learn, share and grow alongside others who care about doing business in a better, more connected way, you’re in the right place.
​
We’d love to see you at the next session. Just book your free ticket using the link above to let us know you're coming. Got questions? Drop us a message, we're always happy to help.
​
Kids and dogs always welcome at our events. We understand the juggle as a small business owner (you'll often see our dog Luna at our events for that very reason).
