Our Brand Story
Founded in 2017 in Nairobi, Kenya, Iliad Media Ltd was born with a bold vision: to inform, inspire, and ignite change. We exist to connect individuals, businesses, NGOs, and governments to greener and bluer solutions – without the corporate jargon or unreachable price tags. We’re building a movement where socially conscious storytelling meets bold, locally-driven innovation.
Every story starts with a challenge
Ours was clear: Despite East Africa grappling with the impacts of climate change, deforestation, pollution, food insecurity, and social injustice, mainstream media barely scratched the surface. Sustainability, climate justice, and corporate ethics were either under-reported or served up through a foreign lens—disconnected from the everyday lives of East Africans.
We saw an urgent need for media that speaks the local language, understands the local heartbeat, and champions local solutions.
A new narrative for a new generation
That’s why we created Iliad Media Ltd—to fill that gap with purpose-driven content and community. We believe media can do more than inform; it can transform. Our name, inspired by the epic tradition of storytelling, reflects our commitment to long-form impact. We don’t just report the news—we shape the narrative.
Our “ILIAD” Code of Client Service reflects our core values: integrity, leadership, innovation, authenticity, and dedication. It’s how we operate, and how we build lasting relationships—with readers, clients, and collaborators.
We bring sustainability to life through:
- Engaging multimedia content across print, digital, and social
- Curated experiences and events that spark real conversations
- Strategic partnerships that amplify local innovation
- Actionable tools and stories that readers and businesses can truly use
From green tech, conscious living to corporate responsibility, we tell the stories that others overlook – and we do it with creativity, clarity, and purpose.
Why It Matters
Because sustainability shouldn’t be boring, complicated, or elitist. It should be accessible, energizing, and deeply rooted in community. At Iliad, we believe great content can be both stylish and substantial. That healing the planet should feel exciting, not exhausting. That the future should be fun, fair – and proudly African.
We stand with the growing tribe of East Africans who care deeply about ethics and aesthetics, impact and innovation. Whether you’re eco-curious or a committed change-maker, Iliad Media Ltd is your go-to hub for green ideas that actually work.
Let’s rewrite the story of sustainability – together.
