Who
we are.

We are a conduit between brands, communities, and creatives through storytelling, strategic partnerships, and immersive cultural experiences. From shaping narratives to curating talent pipelines, we help businesses connect with global audiences while opening doors for young talent to thrive on global stages. We believe when culture leads talent rises and representation wins

Yesterday

Growing up as a young Black creative in the UK, our founder Kojo Marfo faced a lack of representation, limited opportunities, and ongoing mental health challenges that made it difficult to break into the creative industry. Determined to change this, Kojo created My Runway Group while still at university in Coventry as a solution to these problems: a platform designed to connect overlooked talent to real opportunities and supportive communities. What started as a single fashion show in 2013 with 400 attendees quickly grew into a movement, providing a runway for creatives to showcase their work, build confidence, and access international networks.

Today

We are driving real change in commerce and the creative industry. Through over 50 programmes annually, we equip thousands of emerging creatives with the skills, mentorship, and confidence needed to thrive. Our groundbreaking campaigns and collaborations with top-tier institutions including Saatchi Gallery, Tate, V&A, and Coca-Cola, reaching millions globally. We’ve connected over 20,000 Black founders and creatives to international visibility initiatives, unlocking access to global networks and opportunities. With a community spanning multiple countries, we have successfully built a launchpad for the next-gen cultural leaders and founders

Tomorrow

Our future is rooted in unlocking Africa’s soft power while deepening our impact across the UK and Europe. We’ve laid strong foundations through commerce programmes, global consultancy and talent development. We aim to bridge Africa and Europe through strategic collaborations, storytelling, and shared opportunities. Partnering with governments and institutions, we will continue to provide insight and infrastructure to better support underrepresented creatives and founders. From talent representation to policy influence, we’re shaping the creative and commerce economy of tomorrow. The runway is built now is time for a generation of entrepreneurs and cultural leaders to to take off!
