From Passion to Platform: How Lost Son Media Is Amplifying Young Voices
How a Nigerian creator turned a personal TikTok journey into a growing media platform that empowers youth through storytelling, faith, and motivation.
In a world filled with noise and distraction, one voice chose purpose — and turned it into a platform.
My name is Mark ThankGod, and I’m the founder of Lost Son Media, a growing digital brand created to inspire, empower, and uplift. What began as a few raw, honest TikToks on my account @lostson350 has now grown into a media platform that reaches thousands across Nigeria and beyond.
I didn’t have much when I started. No camera crew, no funding, no marketing team. Just my phone, my message, and a desire to connect with people who felt unheard — people like me. I was just one of millions trying to be seen online, but I chose to be different. I focused not on virality, but on value. Every video I posted had meaning. Every caption came from experience. Every word I spoke was aimed at someone who might need it.
And people noticed.

The Birth of Lost Son Media
I created Lost Son Media not just as a name, but as a movement. I wanted to build a platform that spoke to the “lost sons” — young people who felt left out, unseen, or uncertain about their purpose. Through motivational videos, storytelling, and faith-based content, Lost Son Media became a space where people could feel seen.
My TikTok account, @lostson350, became the foundation. I posted consistently — real talk, deep thoughts, and encouragement. The audience grew, not just in numbers, but in connection. People weren’t just following — they were responding, messaging me, and thanking me. That’s when I realized this was bigger than me.

Building a Brand with Meaning
There are plenty of content creators out there, but not every creator becomes a brand. I made a decision to operate as a professional, even before the world saw me that way. I created a name, designed a logo, started keeping track of my growth and content, and formed a vision. Lost Son Media isn’t just about my voice anymore — it’s becoming a platform that will soon feature other voices, other creators, and eventually, a full team.
The most rewarding part? The people. The messages I get that say, “This helped me today,” or “You reminded me I’m not alone,” make it all worth it. I’ve had viral moments, yes — but the real success is when someone feels seen.

Challenges and Lessons
Starting a brand from scratch in Nigeria isn’t easy. Resources are limited, the digital space is crowded, and it’s hard to get taken seriously at the beginning. But I’ve learned that consistency beats equipment. I didn’t wait for perfect conditions — I just started. And the more I showed up, the more things grew.
It’s also taught me patience. Growth doesn’t happen overnight. But over time, as I kept showing up authentically, the audience came — and stayed.

What’s Next for Lost Son Media?
Right now, Lost Son Media is growing. I’m working on collaborations, branching into YouTube and Instagram, and building toward a platform that helps young creators share their stories. Eventually, I want to create a network — a digital space where creators like me can thrive without needing to fit into mainstream trends.

Final Thoughts
If you’re reading this and you feel like you’ve been overlooked or lost, know that your voice matters. You don’t have to be perfect — just real. That’s how I started. That’s what Lost Son Media is built on. And that’s what I’ll keep building.
