About Sol Media

We're a Melbourne studio that builds websites, AI agents, connected systems and marketing for small businesses. One founder, a team of associates and AI agents.

Melissa Murat, founder of Sol Media.

Hi, I'm Mel

I spent more than fifteen years leading marketing for global brands. Then I co-founded two businesses of my own, ran both as COO and sold both. Along the way I set up warehouses, online stores, inventory systems and an AI marketing team, mostly because the business needed them and there wasn't anyone else to do it.

I started Sol Media to do that work for other businesses. I like the parts most people put off: the process nobody ever wrote down, the two systems that should be talking to each other, the website you've been meaning to fix for years.

Aureley, our own app

Get your time back. Aureley reads your documents to you, in a natural voice that cares. Add a PDF, a Word file or a web link, press play, and follow along as each sentence is highlighted. It launches on iOS and Android on 31 October 2026.

Read-along highlighting, adjustable speed and natural voices make long documents easier to take in, especially when focusing on a page of text is hard work.
