About OML:
OML is a new media and entertainment company that partners with creators to build digital entertainment properties that impact culture; and help brands and platforms come closer to consumers. Headquartered in Mumbai with teams in Russia, Poland & Thailand, OML was founded in 2002 to book and manage artists across all genres of entertainment.
Today, OML’s operations span a prolific, award-winning content studio that packages and produces shows for OTT platforms, and a global brand solutions business, outside of the talent management practice that has evolved to roster comedians, vloggers, streamers, influencers, writers and directors.
From the beginnings of OML as an artist management agency to the advent of modern-day content marketing, we have helped our clients thrive in the face of disruption while setting trends in talent representation, marketing and sponsorship; inspiring industry change in events and licensing; and helping reshape the digital landscape. As technology further shifts the balance of power in media, and puts more power in the hands of the creator, OML is uniquely positioned to create opportunities for our clients and partners around the globe.
