Our Story
From behind the lens to behind the strategy, Cornerstone was built on a passion for helping great businesses be seen, understood, and trusted.
What began as a creative studio capturing the built environment has evolved into a full-scale marketing group dedicated to helping brands within construction, manufacturing, and design grow their online presence through strategy, storytelling, and smart execution.
The Timeline
2010
The Launch of Biztour, The UK’s Leading 360 Virtual Tour Agency
Our journey started with Biztour, one of the UK’s first 360° virtual tour agencies. Partnering with Google as early adopters of their “Google Trusted Photographer” programme, we helped businesses across the country showcase their spaces online for the very first time.
This experience sparked something bigger: an understanding of how visibility drives opportunity. It laid the foundations for what would eventually become Cornerstone.
2013
The Architectural Photography Journey Begins
As our creative work expanded, so did our focus. Working with major names such as Derwent London, Equitone, Oktra, Bluebook, and the English National Ballet, we began to see a gap: exceptional design and construction brands were doing brilliant work, but weren’t showing it off effectively.
That insight pushed us beyond photography. We began helping clients connect the dots between visuals, storytelling, and strategy, ensuring their work not only looked great, but reached the right audience.
2019
Digital Growth Through Local Territory
With years of SEO, web design, and brand experience under our belt, we launched Local Territory, a digital marketing agency built to help UK businesses attract more leads and sales online.
Through refined SEO and conversion-focused design, our clients achieved measurable growth. It was here our team developed a deep understanding of what makes digital marketing work, not just in theory, but in the real world.

The Genesis Of Cornerstone Group
After years of creative and digital experience across multiple sectors, Cornerstone was formed to bring everything under one roof.
Our mission: to serve the construction, manufacturing, and design industries with a specialist approach that combines creativity and strategy. From photography and video to SEO, paid ads, and conversion optimisation, every project is built with the same goal in mind: tangible growth.
We don’t do “off-the-shelf.” We take the time to understand your market, your buyers, and your business model — then build a tailored campaign that delivers meaningful, measurable results.
The Cornerstone Approach
We believe that great marketing isn’t about shouting louder, it’s about communicating better.
It’s about showing what makes your business different, and building systems that consistently turn that story into results.
So whether we’re filming on-site, redesigning your website, or mapping out your SEO strategy, everything we do is designed to help your brand be seen, understood, and chosen.
