Our story
A content studio born from a love of food, hospitality, and honest visual storytelling.
Aisha Okafor
Founder & Creative Director
Soma Creatives was founded in Manchester in 2021 by Aisha Okafor, a commercial photographer and creative director with a decade of experience working with food and hospitality brands across the UK.
After years of watching brilliant restaurants struggle to communicate their quality through social media — relying on iPhone photos and inconsistent content — Aisha set out to build something different: a subscription content studio built exclusively for the hospitality industry.
The idea was simple. Bring agency-level creative talent to independent restaurants and growing groups at a price that makes sense. Monthly subscription, no lock-in, no brief writing, no faff. Just consistently great content, every month.
Three years on, Soma works with over 40 restaurants across Greater Manchester and the North West — from neighbourhood independents to multi-site groups.
Our mission
"To make world-class content production accessible to every restaurant — so great food always finds the audience it deserves."
We only work with restaurants. It's all we do, and it shows in the quality.
We learn your brand and show up prepared. You run a restaurant — we handle the creative.
48-hour content turnaround, every month. No chasing, no delays.
Monthly rolling contracts. Upgrade, downgrade, or pause — it's your call.
