OtownGist Media & Entertainment as was founded in 2012, by Mr. Chinedu Hardy Nwadike when he saw the need to project entertainment activities in Imo State on the internet.
The outfit has since then won several awards for promotion of local contents and has grown to be inspiration to other online media outfits.
OtownGist Media & Entertainment is also into media PR, web designing, event management, talent discovery and artiste management with the likes of Floxy and JanexMara as evidence of raw talents it has fished out.
