Hi, I’m Lori of Magnetic Brand Studio, previously Lola Media Design, and I am excited to be a recommended provider for The Engine!

I have been designing custom brands and building bespoke websites since 2002. In the last 10 years, I have been inspired to put my iMac to sleep and leave my desk to meet my clients in person, photographing them and their products and services for their website and social media. This customised and integrated approach has led to creating many unique and authentic brands on my client list. In fact, authenticity is something I value highly and it is your brand’s superpower!

I operate out of my studio office in Warkworth. I have grown a small team to help support you smoothly and efficiently from the idea stage, through the design stage and finally to the published ‘live’ stage – where your website and brand is the main ‘engine’ of your business and I treat it like I treat my own site – which is as a valuable and critical business resource and asset.

Have you got your brand foundations in place?

My Business Secret Weapon!

Lori from Lola Media is my business secret weapon – it’s so much easier going to one provider for all my tech and visuals. It’s a streamlined approach that saves me both money and time as everything needed is in-house. Photography, video and web design in a seamless experience for all my marketing needs.

 Professionalism, Quality, Value

Working with Lori has been a game-changer for Andrea and I (Hormone Empowerment). She really listened to us and got our branding spot on. The website and the handouts were even better than we expected – just stunning! She put in so much work and went over and above what we imagined. She has guided us along the way as we were learning ourselves having just started out. It has been a pleasure working with Lori.

    The Holistic Home for Personal and

    Professional Growth Coaching

Hi, I’m Yvonne from Brave Talks and it’s my pleasure to collaborate with our friends at The Engine! If you’ve hit a roadblock and aren’t sure what to do next, Brave Talks Coaches are here to assist with your health and wellbeing by helping you overcome the personal barriers that interfere with your professional success.

You may find yourself working more from home, or notice that your professional and personal life has become more closely intertwined. For this reason, we assess your needs holistically because we can’t separate the person from the profession – the challenges we have in one area of our life, often cross over into another.

Our coaches are here to work directly with you to identify the source of your challenges and match you with the holistic tools you need. The tools we use integrate the 3 areas for personal growth – mind, body and soul. These include Transformation Therapy (RTT & NLP), Breath-work, the Enneagram, Visual Expression and Spiritual Physics. Our business workshops focus on team development to strengthen greater communication and stronger working relationships.

Visit our office in Warkworth for a private consultation or team workshop or contact us for a chat on how we can help.

Coaching Your Mind, Body & Spirit for Inner Balance

I came out feeling really positive!

Through this learning opportunity I learnt/recognised something new about myself and I especially enjoyed the opportunity to chat about it and receive feedback from these lovely ladies. The information we have received from them so far is awesome and something I’d love to look into further for my own growth game. I came out feeling really positive so thank you!

It helped me see what I couldn’t see myself

I really enjoyed this [team development] workshop, it was very enlightening. I found the part about instincts very interesting because even though I had heard of them before I never really knew much about them. I want to say thank-you to them as this workshop helped me to understand a little bit more about myself and made a few things clearer to me. It helped me see what I couldn’t see myself in some aspects which is great.
