Who we are

OTA Media is a multi-award winning next-generation media company creating compelling content at the intersection of technology, business, and leadership.

Launched in 2020 during the global pandemic, OTA Media made its mark with Off The Agenda; a biographical interview series hosted by Sir Charles Bowman, former Lord Mayor of London. The show features honest, biographic agenda-free conversations with innovators, policymakers, and influential change-makers who are shaping the future. With over 20,000 subscribers and viewership ranging from 5,000 to 35,000 per episode, it has grown into a trusted source of insight and inspiration.

In 2025, OTA Media established a partnership with LSEG, with a mission to produce global content that connects audiences across finance, technology, and leadership sectors. This partnership allows OTA Media to expand its reach, amplify high-profile interviews, and create premium live events that inform and inspire a worldwide audience.

From interviewing iconic leaders like Sir Kenneth Olisa, Baroness Valarie Amos, and Dame Sharon White, to launching live events with Google and Salesforce, OTA Media continues to evolve with one mission: To surface the stories that matter and spark the conversations that shape our future.

We collaborate with world-leading figures across business, culture, and public life, and are proud to be recognised by the British Podcast Awards, Burberry British Diversity Awards, and the European Diversity Awards for our storytelling and social impact.

Led by award-winning producer Edwin Danso, OTA Media is supported by a world-class team of hosts and advisors including Sir Charles Bowman, Brenda Emmanus OBE, and strategic communications leader Tanya Ridd. Together, we are building a platform that informs, empowers, and inspires.
