Find out tonight if we have been voted THE SMARTEST business at the Smarta 100 awards - 19th May, London
- Founder name(s):
- Chris Driscoll
- Company:
- Blinky Media
- Website:
- http://www.blinkymagazine.co.uk
- Proposition:
- Blinky Media is a student media company that runs a student lifestyle e-magazine and promotional products and printing service for businesses and student club-night promoters.
Blinky Media
Blinky founder Chris is a final-year student who often works
14-hour days and seven-day weeks. He says he does it because he
enjoys every minute and wants to 'support other young people
interested in business'. Blinky is all about helping students boost
their CVs by working on the magazine. Further revenue streams come
from Chris's experience of what businesses need in terms of
printing and promotional products. Chris is super-smart with money.
Blinky's overheads are just £35 per month, and even these are set
to be slashed as an affiliation deal with a web host is going to
provide free web hosting. He's negotiated very favourable terms
with suppliers, and manages to support local charities through
Blinky too.
Student business with good intentions of helping other students
gain experience
- Very resourceful use of money and very low fixed overheads
- Supports local charities
