Our story
Named with love. Built on strategy.
Lorna Media Group began life as a Cardiff boutique agency. Six years on, it's the strategic infrastructure layer connecting brands with creators — but the values that started it have never changed.
Before Lorna, there was Kiff
Founded in 2020, in the middle of a global pandemic, by Tasha J Cole — a creative with a background in audio production who watched the world go digital overnight and decided that if businesses needed to transform, she would learn how to lead that transformation.
She taught herself digital marketing from the ground up, then went further: an MSc in Strategic and Digital Marketing at the University of South Wales, and a place on the Welsh Government-sponsored 5–9 Club accelerator for female founders — where she was named Peer Champion.
From the beginning, this was a business about people. One of its first acts wasn't a client contract — it was an intern-to-learn programme giving aspiring digital marketers in South Africa a way into the industry. That thread has never broken.
2022 — everything changed
Then Tasha lost her mother.
In her honour, Kiff Media Hub became Lorna Media — and the name became a promise. Five values that weren't taken from a branding workshop. They were earned.
Built with love. Named with love. Here to help you build your dream life, strategically.
The evolution
From Lorna Media
to Lorna Media Group.
As Tasha's network and hands-on experience grew across the UK, India, and Vietnam, one agency became four divisions — each born from real experience, not a business plan.
Partnership development, born from Tasha's network across the UK, India, and Vietnam. Works both brand-to-creator and brand-to-brand (B2B) — helping brands collaborate where everyone wins on shared values, customer segments, and shared revenue — and managing affiliate programmes end to end.
Born from Tasha's own hands-on experience as a content creator — built to act as a bridge between brands and creators, understanding how to serve both audiences. Currently in pilot.
Optimises the best of the last three years — the strategy, content, and campaign craft the agency built its name on, now delivered as event coverage and Content PR.
An ongoing, evolutional programme, refined year on year. Piloted in South Africa, it expanded from 2023 through 2025 to support the ASEAN network and graduate students in the UK seeking industry work experience — one intern even helped support the Theory of Everything store launch in Hyderabad. It carries forward a mission to close the digital skills gap for the Global Majority.
The founder
Tasha J Cole
Founder · Digital transformation consultant · Keynote speaker
Tasha J Cole is a digital transformation consultant, researcher, keynote speaker, and podcast host with over a decade in the creative industries. Trained in audio production, she responded to the pandemic by teaching herself digital marketing — then formalising it with an MSc in Strategic and Digital Marketing.
Her work spans sectors and continents: a 775% Instagram growth quarter for a university incubator; a commissioned research report that helped Tŷ Cerdd secure Arts Council Wales funding; the promotional strategy behind an Indian fashion brand's strongest sales month; and the launch of a luxury retail concept in Hyderabad as CMO through Lorna Media's co:lab model.
She's an established voice on Wales's business stage — a keynote speaker at the Developing Entrepreneurial Women Conference and workshop facilitator for ICE, Big Idea Wales, NatWest Women in Business, and Town Sq. Her podcast, The LORNA Experience, carries the mission worldwide, with listeners in 21 countries.
"The visible architect — connecting brands with the right creators, designing the partnerships, and leading the strategy."
The mission
Optimise social change. Nurture talent. Empower people.
Giving back is built into how we work. From the original intern-to-learn programme in South Africa to the structured Lornatern internship, Tasha has mentored the next generation of marketers at every stage — with a mission to close the digital skills gap for the Global Majority and help people create their dream lives. That same belief in shared value drives how we build partnerships: brand-to-creator and brand-to-brand (B2B) collaborations where everyone wins on shared values, customer segments, and shared revenue.
