Collaboration, diversity & inclusion is part of our DNA
Who We Are
Soho Media Club is a members network designed to advocate collaboration, inclusion and diversity across media production, post-production and distribution. Anyone can join the network for free, regardless of seniority, position or status. The only criteria is that you are an active media professional in film, tv, digital or music.
We share 3 key beliefs: Collaboration, Inclusion and Everyone having a Voice.
Underpinned by monthly meetups, in a secret Soho location, the club brings together passionate people with stories to share. Guest speakers take to the mic each month to share their passions and personal stories. After each meetup, members receive content to read, watch, listen and reflect upon.
Since its launch in July 2019, Soho Media Club has attracted a membership of 200+ media professionals from production, post-production and distribution.

Team
We're Tom and Jaisica, the founders of Soho Media Club. We met at a media & entertainment show in Las Vegas two years ago and quickly discovered a common passion for connecting people.
We share 3 key beliefs: Collaboration, Inclusion and Everyone having a Voice. We saw an opportunity to create a club for those in the production, post-production and distribution community who share our beliefs and want to make the whole industry better.

Nothing held back.
Just honest stories.
In each episode, the host, Roses Okhipo speaks to an anonymous guest to uncover their true experiences of diversity, inclusion and prejudice in the media industry. Stripped down and fully transparent, guests share stories which previously may have been too risky, painful, or controversial to talk about openly. The stories touch on different aspects of diversity, including: Gender diversity; Sexual orientation; Disability; Racial diversity; Cultural diversity and health anxiety.
