Adrian Brine launches new startup Onnair as he prepares to close Spotd
Spotd, Adrian Brine’s first startup, is due to be retired soon.
The creator of soon to be closed talent-sharing platform Spotd has launched a new website aimed specifically at those working in the radio industry.
Onnair.com, created by Spotd founder Adrian Brine, will seek to bring together a community of current and future radio professionals looking to share their work with the industry.
“We tried to broaden the site out as a talent discovery platform,” said Brine, “but given the contacts, we naturally fell into radio land.”
Spotd, which is due to be retired soon, aimed to create an online community of most of the media – including brands, agencies, comedians, graphic designers, MCs, TV presenters and radio announcers.
Onnair.com will have a similar goal, Brine said, but with a more specific user focus.
Onnair will seek to create an online community for radio producers, reporters and hosts.
“The main thing we learned was that there’s actually a market for young radio kids that want to showcase their work and further their careers. There are lots of young radio professionals that are craving feedback.”
People will be able to create a profile with the site, showcase their work and look for job opportunities.
“After 12 months, we had lots of Spotd success stories… it’s about finding our own platform online,” Brine said.

‘Startup’. If this word reaching it’s end? I am sick of hearing about somebodies new venture, or business, or organisation, or project as a ‘startup’. Has the term ‘startup’ became too hipster? So many hipster CEO’s of ‘startup’s’ with 2 employees. CEO, with 2 employees? That is another annoyance of mine. You own and operate a small business, you are not a ‘CEO’!
Sorry, rant over and this is not in anyway directed at the good guys at SPOTD / Onnair
Peace
