Helping Norfolk's small businesses learn, connect, and grow.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, looking to build your knowledge or ready to develop a clear plan for your business, we're here to support your small Norfolk business with practical training, one-to-one support and a welcoming business community.

Every small business is different.

Some need a better website. Others need clearer messaging.

 

Some don't need more marketing at all. They need to simplify their offer, reconnect with their customers or focus on what they're already doing well.

That's why we don't believe in one-size-fits-all marketing.

 

Our job isn't to sell you a particular solution. It's to help you find the right one.

We're Gabriella and Matt, the founders of Coastal Media.

 

Through practical training, one-to-one strategy sessions and a supportive business community, we help Norfolk's small businesses learn, connect and grow.

How to get involved

Whether you're looking to join a free meetup, build your marketing knowledge or get dedicated support for your business, there's a place to start.

Attendees at a community event

Community

Our free meet-ups, newsletter and online resources are designed to help you connect with other business owners, share ideas and discover practical advice in a friendly, supportive environment.

Making notes at a training session

Training 

Our workshops help you understand how marketing works, make better decisions and create a clear plan for your business. No jargon. No one-size-fits-all advice. Just practical ideas you can put into action.

Working on small business strategy

Dedicated support

Sometimes you need more than a workshop. Our one-to-one strategy sessions create the time and space to explore your business, identify priorities and develop a practical plan that's right for you.

A space for clarity and focus

Our Focus Sessions and Inspiration Sessions take place at The Barn @ Letheringsett Mill, near Holt in North Norfolk.

We've created a relaxed space away from the usual distractions, where you can put the laptop notifications to one side, get the coffee on and give your business some proper attention.

Our Clarity Days, Free Small Business meet-ups, and occasional larger events take place just down the road at The Cliftonville in Cromer, where there's a little more room for the community to get together.

What our clients say

Steve from Coastal Media client Beachside Massage
“My business has grown by about 30% since I completed a marketing course with Matt and Gabs, and with pretty limited work and virtually no cost. I'm working smarter... and most importantly, I'm still my authentic self and aligned with my core values.”
