General
Who is Tarf Media?
Tarf Media is a full-service media and marketing company based in Nairobi, Kenya, working with clients across Kenya and internationally. We specialise in video production, photography, drone aerial solutions, digital marketing, email marketing, web design, and equipment rental — giving businesses a single creative partner from content creation through to audience growth. Whether you need a compelling brand film, a targeted email campaign, or a licensed drone operator for your next project, our team brings the expertise, equipment, and strategy to deliver.
What sets Tarf Media apart from other media companies?
Several things genuinely distinguish us:
- Full-service capability. We cover the complete creative and marketing cycle in-house — production, post-production, digital marketing, and email marketing. One partner, no coordination overhead.
- Own delivery infrastructure. Completed projects are delivered through our secure Online Gallery, not third-party tools like Google Drive or WeTransfer. Your files stay private and accessible on our platform.
- Own email marketing platform. We operate our own email marketing platform, keeping your campaign data off third-party services. Clients can also register as tenants to run their own campaigns independently.
- KCAA-licensed drone pilots. All our aerial operations are conducted by pilots holding valid licences from Kenya's Civil Aviation Authority — ensuring safety and regulatory compliance on every shoot.
- Kenya-rooted, internationally open. We understand the local market deeply while working with clients across the world.

Services & Projects
What types of projects do you work on?
We work on a diverse range of projects including promotional videos, event coverage, real estate photography and videography, hotel and resort marketing, corporate training materials, adverts, documentaries, email marketing campaigns, and full digital marketing campaigns.
Can you customise your services to suit our specific requirements?
Absolutely. We understand that every project is unique, and we are committed to tailoring our services to meet your specific requirements — from the style and tone of the content, to the delivery format and timeline.
How long does it take to complete and deliver a project?
Turnaround time varies depending on the scope and complexity of the project. We work closely with clients to establish realistic timelines and ensure timely delivery without compromising quality. During the consultation phase, we'll discuss timelines and provide an estimated delivery schedule.
Do you provide post-production services such as editing and colour grading?
Yes. We offer comprehensive post-production services including editing, colour grading, audio enhancement, and visual effects. Our skilled editors ensure your content is polished to perfection before delivery.
Do you provide aerial photography and videography services?
Yes. We excel at drone aerial photography and videography, offering unique perspectives that enhance the visual appeal of your projects — whether it's capturing vast landscapes or showcasing architectural details from above. All our drone pilots hold valid KCAA licences.
Why should I choose Tarf Media for real estate photography and videography?
Real estate is one of our strongest areas. We combine ground-level photography and videography with licensed drone aerial coverage to showcase properties from every angle — from interior walkthroughs to sweeping development overviews. We've worked with developers and construction clients to document project progress, create marketing content for off-plan sales, and produce visuals that attract serious buyers and investors. Our 360° panoramic photography can also give prospective buyers an immersive property preview before they visit in person.
How can Tarf Media help my business with Digital Marketing?
Our digital marketing offering covers the full spectrum: social media content creation and management, targeted advertising campaigns, search engine optimisation, email marketing (both fully managed campaigns and self-serve platform access for your team), and web design and development. We don't just create content — we build strategies that connect your brand with the right audience and track what's working. Whether you need a single campaign or an ongoing growth partnership, we tailor our approach to your goals and budget.
Does Tarf Media offer additional services or packages?
Yes. We offer a variety of additional services and customisable packages to suit your requirements — whether you need additional editing, graphic design, animation, podcast production, or marketing support. Feel free to discuss your needs with us and we'll tailor a solution to your goals and budget.
Do you offer ongoing or retainer arrangements?
Yes. For businesses that need consistent output — such as regular social media content, monthly email campaigns, or continuous content creation — we offer retainer arrangements tailored to your scope and budget. These are reviewed periodically to ensure they continue delivering value. Contact us to discuss what an ongoing partnership could look like for your business.
How are completed project files delivered to me?
Completed project files are delivered through Tarf Media's secure Online Gallery — a private, password-accessible viewer where you can preview, download, and manage your delivered content. Upon project completion, you will receive a unique gallery link via email or WhatsApp.
Clients who have met all payment obligations receive immediate, unrestricted access with downloads fully enabled. If there is an outstanding balance, the gallery will initially be available in preview-only mode. Access is suspended after 24 hours if payment has not been received, and fully reinstated within 24 hours of payment confirmation. Gallery links remain active for three (3) months from the original delivery date.
Equipment Rental
What type of equipment can I hire from Tarf Media?
We provide a wide range of production equipment including cameras and lenses, lighting and audio kits, drones, gimbals and stabilisers, tripod stands, and camera accessories. All equipment is well-maintained and regularly serviced to ensure top performance. View the full catalogue on our Hire page.
Do I have to create an account to rent equipment?
Yes. All clients must create a Tarf Media account to access our Equipment Rental Portal and book equipment. This helps us verify your identity, manage bookings efficiently, and provide a self-service experience for repeat hires.
What documents do I need to rent equipment?
You'll need a valid National ID or Passport for verification, along with a guarantor's National ID or Passport. Corporate clients may also be required to submit a company authorisation letter.
Can I rent equipment without hiring your crew?
Yes. You can rent equipment for self-use as long as you meet our verification and payment requirements. However, for specialised equipment such as drones, we recommend hiring our licensed operators for optimal performance and safety compliance.
Can I view the equipment before booking?
Yes. You can schedule an appointment to visit us in Nairobi to inspect and test equipment before confirming your booking. Contact us to arrange a visit.
Is there a security deposit?
Yes. Some equipment may require a refundable security deposit depending on the type and value of the item. The amount will be communicated during the booking process and refunded upon safe return of the equipment.
What happens if equipment is damaged or lost during my rental period?
You'll be responsible for the repair or replacement cost based on the current market value. We recommend handling the equipment with care and ensuring it is used only by qualified personnel. Please refer to our Terms & Conditions for full details.
Can I extend my rental period?
Yes. You can request an extension before the current rental period expires. Approval will depend on equipment availability.
Do you deliver and collect equipment?
Yes. We offer delivery and pickup services within Nairobi and surroundings at an additional cost. Arrangements can be made during booking.
What happens to my personal data and ID copy?
Your personal data and ID are securely stored and used only for verification purposes in compliance with Kenya's Data Protection Act. We do not share your information with third parties without consent. See our Privacy Policy for more.
Who do I contact for support during a rental?
You can reach our support team via +254 791 085 097 or info@tarfmedia.co.ke for any assistance or urgent issues during your rental period.
Booking & Payment
How do I make a booking?
Log in to your Tarf Media account, browse the available equipment, select the items you need, and submit your booking. Our team will review your request and issue an invoice for payment. For production services, simply get in touch to begin.
What payment options do you accept?
We accept M-Pesa and bank transfers. Payment must be made in full before collecting or using any equipment. A 50% deposit is required to secure a production services booking.
Can I cancel or reschedule my booking?
Yes. Cancellations made more than 24 hours before the scheduled rental date will not attract a penalty. Late cancellations may incur up to 50% of the rental fee. Please notify us as early as possible if you need to reschedule.
What happens if I return equipment late?
Late returns attract additional charges per hour or per day, depending on the item. We advise notifying us early if you expect a delay to avoid unnecessary penalties.
Can I rent equipment for a long-term project?
Yes. We offer daily, weekly, and monthly rental options for long-term projects. Contact us for customised packages and long-term pricing.
What happens to my gallery access if I have an outstanding balance?
Clients who have cleared all payments receive full gallery access with downloads enabled from the moment their gallery link is issued. If there is an outstanding balance at the time of delivery, the gallery will be available in preview-only mode (no downloads) for up to 24 hours. If payment is not received within that window, the gallery will be suspended. Full access is reinstated within 24 hours of payment being confirmed. The three-month availability window runs from the original delivery date and is not extended by payment delays.
Email Marketing
Does Tarf Media offer email marketing services?
Yes. Tarf Media offers end-to-end email marketing services for businesses looking to reach and retain their audience through direct, personalised communication. Our services include campaign strategy, copywriting, template design, list management, and performance reporting. We run everything on our own platform, so your data never passes through third-party email marketing tools.
How does Tarf Media handle subscriber consent?
All email marketing is consent-based. For campaigns we manage on your behalf, you are responsible for ensuring that every contact on your list has explicitly opted in to receive emails from your business. We do not permit sending to purchased lists or contacts who have not given consent. This protects your brand reputation and ensures compliance with applicable data protection laws.
Can I register on the platform to run my own email campaigns?
Yes. Beyond our managed campaigns service, the Tarf Media Email Marketing Platform is open to registered tenants — businesses and individuals who want to build and send their own campaigns independently. Once your account is approved, you get access to your own workspace to manage subscriber lists, design emails, and schedule sends. You remain fully responsible for your subscriber consent, campaign content, and compliance with applicable laws. Contact us to get started.
Can I subscribe to Tarf Media's own newsletter?
Yes. You can subscribe to receive updates, tips, and offers from Tarf Media directly through our website. You may unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any of our emails or by contacting us at info@tarfmedia.co.ke.
