Who we are
On Board Experiential (OBE) is an award winning, full service, experience-led agency that creates meaningful brand experiences worldwide, with office locations in London, San Francisco, Los Angeles and NYC.
We help brands to cut through the noise, capture consumer attention and leave lasting impressions that live beyond the shareable, streamable, screamable moment.
We are specialists in creating extraordinary brand events – immersive, engaging and unrivalled.
The London office is the most recent to open its doors in the OBE family, making us the new kids on the block, but backed by years of experiential experience. Boasting a heavy hitting portfolio of incredibly active brands and a range of well-established partners, we’re well set for an exciting future.
We work with brands that care. Brands that value meaningful relationships. Brands that are prepared to challenge what’s gone before. Brands that aren’t prepared to settle for OK. Brands that want the competitive advantage. Brands that act.
We are OBE and we’re a team of experiential playmakers.

What We Do
On Board Experiential (OBE) is an award-winning, full-service, experience-led agency that creates meaningful brand experiences worldwide. We work out of our homes and physical offices in Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco and London, or wherever our adventures take us! Our clients include Nike, Meta, JPMorgan Chase, Cheez-It, Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day, and SEPHORA, to name a few. We know, "Cool, cool, but what’s it like to work at OBE?" We thought you'd never ask. Event Marketer has recognized OBE as one of the best places to work in events and well, we couldn't agree more.
The most important part of our business is our people. They are hardworking, brave and make magic happen on the regular. But under each majestic exterior is a human deserving of a healthy work-life balance. That’s why we believe in recovery days, happy hours, friendly but competitive fitness challenges, company retreats and agency yearbooks. Yes, like the kind you got in high school.
We conduct open meetings to facilitate discussions that heal, inspire, and bring us closer. We encourage each other to bring our whole selves to work. We want to hear about your lived experiences and unique perspectives. We don't just want you to be unapologetically you: it's part of the job description.
