Otta's take on The Alliance
Xav Kearney
CTO of Otta
A fundamental change in commercial culture has occurred. Where before, brands relied on one-way communication with an ‘audience’, a rising standard of consumers for authenticity and intimacy has driven an explosion in ‘community-led growth’. The Alliance is capturing that shift in the professional development vertical.
The company has created a unique community-based professional development template for different job types. Each brand has its own set of resources, communities, events, reports and mentors connecting professionals seeking growth. For example, The Product Marketing Alliance is one of its fastest-growing marketing brands, reaching 10,000 members in its first sixteen months.
The Alliance is now working on expanding its portfolio of brands to other job types. 2022 saw the creation of three more new communities: Developer Marketing Alliance, GTM Academy and Community-Led Alliance - bringing the total to 11.

Company values
- Empowerment: Take control of your destiny, forge your path, and be accountable for your decisions.
- Purpose: Own your role, seize the initiative, and help us achieve our collective goals.
- Curiosity: Curiosity is a gateway to knowledge; if you don’t ask, you don’t learn - and we always want our team to cultivate their skills. We’ll do whatever it takes to foster learning, and expect to hear “why?” from our team every day. Being inquisitive and providing feedback on what’s working well (and what isn’t!) keeps us on our toes and at the peak of our power.
- Togetherness: We celebrate collectively and face challenges as a unit. Through good times and bad, we learn together!
- Courage: Step out of your comfort zone and embrace new challenges. This is our way of fostering professional and personal growth.
