Our Ethos

Cloud9Media was founded in 2009, inspired by a transformative trip to Africa where our founding partner, Steve Maud, discovered his passion for humanising storytelling. Working with some of the world’s most prominent celebrities, Steve realised that true change comes from amplifying the voices of those directly affected, rather than merely showcasing brands and organisations.

This insight became the foundation of our ethos. Today, from our London offices, we operate with a team of visionary creatives and skilled professionals, supported by a global network of freelancers across continents. We take pride in crafting content that reflects diverse voices and experiences while staying true to our core values.
