How Local Eye works
It starts with your story. We shape it into words, images, and video that feel real, then share it with the community. The result? Greater visibility, stronger connections, and a lasting local presence.
Each feature is evergreen, continuing to build recognition and trust long after it’s published.

Our Purpose
We exist to tell the stories of local people and businesses, with authenticity at the heart.
I started Local Eye to give businesses in our towns a stronger, more authentic voice. By telling their stories, we not only help them grow but we also celebrate the people and places that make our communities unique.

A Butcher’s Story, A Community’s Voice
Meet Matt, a Nottingham butcher whose life is rooted in family, craft, and community. In his own words and with the warmth of his local dialect, he shares what it means to keep tradition alive on the high street.
This is Local Eye: real stories, told by the people who live them.
“The most powerful person in the world is the storyteller.”
Why real voices matter
Feeds are filling with AI-generated posts that all sound the same. Local Eye is different. We share real voices – yes complete with accents, pauses, and personality – because authenticity cuts through where algorithms blur.
More than an Ad
Traditional local magazines are crammed with adverts that land once and vanish. At Local Eye, every feature is a story and is evergreen, authentic, and ready to be shared across digital channels, creating lasting impact instead of fleeting impressions.
