Strong Island Co

Based in central Southsea, Strong Island is a local resource website that promotes & showcases the very best Portsmouth and Southsea arts culture and lifestyle.

Established in 2008 we have grown to a now large and reputable online readership with a committed team of writers, photographers, videographers and designers that curate articles exclusively for Strong Island. We offer a series of ever-growing platforms to help advertise your business or event with a variety of budget options.

Beyond that we have run many large scale arts and cultural community projects resulting in art & photography exhibitions and installations working with Anglepoise, University of Portsmouth, Portsmouth City Council and Ben Ainslie Racing.

Strong Island launched a media production company Strong Island Media in 2012 providing professional photography, film production and design services. Clients have included Hampshire County Council, Anglepoise, M&C Saatchi, University of Portsmouth and many more large and small organisations. We also have years of experience working on educational and training projects for people of all ages and abilities. We have worked with dozens of schools, charities and organisations and over 1000 adults and young people in the last 18 months.

Strong Island Clothing Co was launched in 2012 with a large range of clothing and accessories, using the best quality production processes including hand screened printing from East London. The Strong Island Clothing Co store is located at 12 Highland Road, Southsea.
