Marketing for Corby businesses
Corby was built on steel. Stewarts and Lloyds opened a huge steelworks here in the 1930s, recruiting heavily from Scotland, and although steelmaking ended in 1980, Tata Steel still makes tubes in the town. Corby rebuilt around manufacturing and distribution on estates such as Earlstrees and Willowbrook, with easy access to the A14 and A43, and today has one of the larger manufacturing bases in Northamptonshire.
Steel, packaging, plastics, food and engineering firms sell to other businesses, so their paid media is usually focused. Search ads on precise products and processes, such as steel tube suppliers or contract packaging, reach buyers who already know what they need. LinkedIn ads help reach procurement and technical managers at named companies. Email to existing customers about new capabilities and stock keeps repeat business moving.
Recruitment drives a lot of local advertising. Warehouses and factories need shift workers, drivers and engineers, and recruitment and staffing agencies serving those sites compete hard on Meta, Google and job boards. Clear ads with pay, shift patterns and transport details, aimed at people within commuting distance, tend to outperform vague "we're hiring" posts.
The town regained a passenger station in 2009 and has grown with large areas of new housing, which brings more trades and sole traders who need a first, simple marketing setup: a Google Business Profile, a tight local search campaign and a Facebook page that is kept active.
