Another massive guest for the podcast! Donna Rich is absolute proof that Norfolk is becoming a real hub for modern, forward-thinking businesses. Bringing a proper, dedicated content creation space like DR Creators Studio to the Focus Business Park in Attleborough is a genius move.​For years, local businesses and independent creators in the area had to travel all the way out to Cambridge or London just to get a high-end, flexible space with proper studio lighting and styled sets. Donna completely spotted that gap in the market. ​Why a Purpose-Built Studio Changes the Game​Social-First Focus: Most traditional photography studios are built for static portraits. Donna’s space is uniquely tailored for dynamic, fast-paced media—perfect for filming TikToks, Reels, high-end product shots, and even multicam video podcasts. ​Zero-Friction Creation: It gives local small brands and solo influencers an environment equipped with professional lighting, crisp backdrops, and changing spaces, meaning they can rock up, batch-shoot a month's worth of content, and leave. ​The Power of Local Networking: Donna bringing her own massive digital background (with hundreds of thousands of followers herself) means she isn't just renting out a room; she actually knows exactly what modern algorithms and marketing strategies require. ​It's a cracking episode to dive into how visual branding can scale a local business. Plus, having a proper chat over a coffee and a few arrows on the board is exactly what the Oche & Us vibe is all about.​Shoutout to the sponsors keeping the lights on and the mics hot too: Mayeflower Contractors, We Three Bears, Activate Insurance Brokers, and The Posman. Local businesses backing local creators is exactly how the Norfolk business scene keeps winning!#darts #podcast #supportlocalbusiness #interview #fyp
