PwC Recognises Edwin Danso with the Culture Champion Award

We’re proud to share that our founder, Edwin Danso, has been recognised by the PwC Black Network receiving the Culture Champion Award for his work establishing OTA Media and shaping Off The Agenda into one of London’s most thoughtful leadership platforms.

This year, Edwin was also recognised by Empower and YouTube on the Top 100 Global Future Leader Role Model list, highlighting his ongoing commitment to representation, innovation, and purpose-driven storytelling.

Five years ago, Edwin and Sir Charles Bowman (former Lord Mayor) set out to tell the stories of leaders from communities often overlooked by mainstream media. That idea became Off The Agenda; now a space where CEOs, innovators, and even royalty share honest lessons in leadership.

Building on a new partnership with the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) and past collaborations with Google, Salesforce, and others, OTA Media continues to champion the voices reshaping leadership and purpose in today’s business world.

Reflecting on the award, Edwin said:

“I’m a man of few words, but if I could mentor my younger self, I’d tell him to keep going, and take people on the journey with you. If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.” African Proverb
