Editor in Chief
ERIC AKOTO eric@oceanmediauk.com
Eric is head honcho of Ocean Media and publishes Litro every month from his West London hideout. Some say he’s a marked man; others that he’s a figment of our collective imagination. What we will confess is that Eric’s the man to contact about ad sales, distribution and the big questions in life.
